Octopath Traveller: 14 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

7. Save-Scum Therion's Thief Ability To Get One Of The Best Weapons In The Game

A dirty, dirty tactic - though one that will see you through many games - save scumming (the act of repeatedly reloading a checkpoint until a given scenario goes your way) can apply to Therion's stealing ability.

While you're free to reload and try any roll of the dice over and over, when starting out in Clearwater, look for the house in the foreground with the green door. You'll need either Olberic or H'aanit to knock out the NPC in the way, then use Therion's skill to pick through the "Old Man's Possessions"

In here is both an Argent Axe and a Golden Axe, the latter of which has an attack stat of +265, plus a critical chance of +100. This means you'll be doing a good 5,000 or 6,000 points of damage right from the get-go, creaming the majority of bosses in just a handful of attacks.
