Octopath Traveler 2: Where To Find The Best Hikari Learned Skills | Skill Locations Guide

gameranx.com:

Hikari the Warrior is a strong party member in Octopath Traveler 2, and you can make him even stronger by unlocking powerful abilities called Learned Skills. By using the Duel Path Action on NPCs during the day, Hikari can enter 1-vs-1 battle. If you can defeat your NPC opponent, you’ll knock them out and be asked to learn their unique skill. You can only learn five skills maximum from NPCs before you need to start swapping them out, and there are some extremely useful skills available in the wild. We aren’t going to list them all here, but we will list our favorites. These are the best skills we can’t live without in the late-game.

You can unlock these skills extremely early by using Poison and Bottled Nightmares to apply multiple status effects against enemies. You’ll need a lot of Bottled Nightmares to defeat the NPC, but it essentially (almost) guarantees victory if you have enough. You can purchase these items from the random vendors at the Black Market outside New Delsta. Get at least a few of the skills listed below to prepare yourself for the challenging end-game quest.
