Octopath Traveler 2: How To Get Extremely Powerful Gear Early | Best Weapons Locations

gameranx.com:

Dedicated players can unlock end-game weapons and gear in Octopath Traveler 2 — if you know where to look. Some of the best gear in the game is located in gold chests or sold by merchants that anyone can access, even very early in the game. The areas of open-world are split into three different tiers, with the highest level equipment located in the Level 45+ locations — or on the Sundering Sea, but we’ll get to that later. These powerful weapons are literally sitting around just waiting to be collected. And we’re going to explain where to get them.

Octopath Traveler 2 is completely nonlinear. You can follow the story or grind endlessly until you can take on endgame threats. If you’re not prepared, certain boss fights in the story can absolutely blow your party out of the water. It always helps to get the best weapons, and no matter what part of the game you’re in, the weapons below are extremely useful. Even for end-game players, these hidden weapons are shockingly powerful. There are better weapons to find — but you’ll need to be a high-level party to get them. To get these weapons? All you need to do is reach the treasure chests sitting out in the environment.

To make exploring high level areas easier, you’ll want to use Fast Travel and two important skills. After collecting a chest in a dangerous region, fast-travel to the nearest town. You’ll also want to visit each town on the path to permanently unlock the fast travel point.

With these two skills equipped, you’ll have a much easier time exploring Level 45+ (Tier 3) regions.
