In Octopath Traveler II, you can perform different Path Actions to acquire information from people. These Path Actions include Temenos’ Coerce, Hikari’s Bribe, Osvald’s Scrutinize and Castti’s Inquire. Different Path Actions can be performed at different times of day. For example, Inquire and Scrutinize can only be used during the day while Bribe and Coerce can only be used at night. Please note that townspeople can appear at different locations or not at all depending on the time of day. This guide covers the Path Actions in the Leaflands!
