Octopath Traveler 2: How To Get The Secret Sunshadow Staff | Best Temenos Weapon Guide

gameranx.com:

One of the best weapons in Octopath Traveler 2 is ridiculously well-hidden — and even if you know where to find it, the monster protecting the weapon’s location is a real challenge to overcome at any level. The secret Sunshadow Staff is one of the best weapons for Temenos (or Osvald), but only Temenos can unlock it with his Coerce Path Action. By finding a hidden NPC that only appears at night, you can challenge a creature born of nightmares. Defeat it in a 1v1 fight with Temenos, and the Sunshadow Staff will be your’s. Even if you don’t want one of the best weapons in the game, you might want to check out this extremely weird easter egg.

Located in the village of Gravell, there’s a very strange boy. During the day, all he talks about is scary stories. Try to steal from him, and you’ll find a bizarre item in his inventory. Dig deeper, and it isn’t clear if this is a boy at all — it might be something far worse. This NPC can only be interacted with using the Coerce Path Action from Temenos, and it is very powerful. This is a 9/10 Strength battle against a being from beyond.

To get the Sunshadow Staff, you must fight a secret enemy encounter with Temenos. Only Temenos can acquire this weapon with his Coerce Path Action.

How To Find The Secret Encounter: Travel to the Western Gravell Wilds and stand on the ledge near the Gravell entrance. Stay here during the night. Wait until it is almost dawn — this may take 5-10 minutes. Wait long enough, and a boy NPC will appear.
