In Octopath Traveler II, you can perform different Path Actions to acquire people with talents and learn skills. These Path Actions include Temenos’ Guide, Agnea’s Allure, Hikari’s Challenge, Ochette’s Befriend and Partitio’s Hire. Different Path Actions can be performed at different times of day. For example, Guide, Allure and Challenge can only be used during the day while Befriend and Hire 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 Wildlands!

*PLEASE NOTE: THIS GUIDE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND WILL BE UPDATED AS WE PROGRESS IN THE GAME*
