Can You Beat Octopath Traveler Without Boosting or Breaking? (No BP/Break Challenge)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- The Boost and Break systems are what creates Octopath's battle system. Boosting massively increases the power of your attacks, while Breaking enemies stuns them for a certain amount of time and makes them take more damage from attacks. On their own, these two systems are simple, but the way they were cleverly put together creates a deep strategy game where you want to reserve your precious Boost Points and then unleash everything on a stunned enemy. In this video however I will be ditching these two mechanics alongside Divine Skills (they require Boosting to use). How much does this change the game? Let's find out...

UPDATE, DON'T PRESS "READ MORE" IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE VIDEO YET:
IT'S POSSIBLE! Someone else better at the game than myself has managed to come up with an optimized strategy to beat Galdera without Boosting/Breaking without relying on RNG. Turns out spamming Refreshing Jams & Olive of Life (L) alongside optimization for very high Runelord damage: ua-cam.com/video/FXjX3ykpAO0/v-deo.html
So now I can change the rating to this challenge to a big fat green-colored "YES!".
Shyguymask you’re 1 line too high for my ipad, but i don’t know for other devices or PC
YEEEEESSSSSS THE BIG FAT GREEN COLORED YES WORD....... is still not in the video.
@@roderickrobledo1114 cuz u cant change uploaded videos
Shyguymask I can see the result
@@LaChicaEE at least its in the other vids right?
Before watching, here’s what I think the vid will boil down to:
-Empoison
-Saving Grace + Heal More
-Soulstones
You're not bad at this.
@@Shyguymask Oh, wow. I wasn't too far off, though I completely forgot about Runelord. Props for even attempting Galdera, and good work on the rest of the run!
You forgot runelord
@@gabrielmintz2397 If you look at his comment, he said he forgot runelord
Therion: *Takes an hour to beat the first boss*
Therion after beating boss: "Where's the nearest tavern?"
Yeah, he desperately needs a drink after that ordeal lol
Allow me to finish: nearest tavern
Give him some booze
You ever just feel like a content creator you really like just released a video personally designed for you? Cus that's how I feel right now lol. I love Octopath!
They said they would make an octopath 2 but instead they made braveley default 2.
I hate it.
Don’t say I will do it and not do it braveley default 2 is crappy, too.
When you spend bp you loose turns :(.
And it doesn’t give you enough money to buy heals and stuff.
I just hate it
@@rhyspieces5718 We got the real octopath 2 now dw
This Challenge just screams " Why are we still here? Just to suffer?"
I broke down laughing at the "We'll be right back" and the first time you sped up Therion's attacks. Good stuff :D
I might get demonetized just for including the "we'll be right back" tune, but damn it's worth it for the meme.
@@Shyguymask 10 days later, what's the word? Did the pale dollar sign fairy come to bless this video with moneyn't?
@@Shyguymask totally worth it
Time stamp??
Didnt even knew that Interact like that. In all my runs Steora was my first to second secret Class boss cause you can just spam The Barrier to reflect 90% of her damage to her like with dreisang. So Runelord was most time after this. But Cyrus was like There is an Impostor among us .
I’m imagining how painful this would be if you were mad enough to start as Prim. The sheer amount of grinding.
over 9000
You started with my favorite character. You, sir, have instantly earned my respect.
Therion is the best! I started with him too
Same here Therion all the way.
Cyrus gaming
Olberlic gaming
May I point out that Therion started his journey with a tattered old cloak, but ended with a fancy pristine one. It's like a metaphor or something
Huh he did? Where do you see that? I never noticed myself lol
Katharina Kühn at 14:00 he fights Therion's final boss with him as a runelord
@Nick Bullinger
That’s called secondary jobs those only mean things in battle
I absolutely fricken LOVE the thing at 19:49
Bye Cyrus
Copypasting this reply I made to another comment [SPOILER if you haven't watched video]:
I have no hope for the second phase, but for the first phase I think there is a possible strategy that I didn't get to try (since got the idea after deleting my save). Said strategy would be to try and keep only 2 characters alive, and these two characters would be equipping elemental-resistance accessories to nullify 99% of the damage from Electrocute and Searing Orb. Both characters could be Apothecaries spamming Rehabilitate to block Contaminate as well. Finally, replace Divine Aura with Elemental Edge. Maybe with this strat one could survive the eye at 25% health consistently and kill it, but again I have nothing for Phase 2 besides perfect RNG from Divine Aura or unboosted Chubby Caits.
Also, here's what final boss battle looks like when playing normally and without restrictions: ua-cam.com/video/hx2d6c6U39c/v-deo.html&start=964
Ok boomer
Oof I can’t imagine the time and effort to do this
I have level 80s cross the board and still can’t beat it normally
I remember you talking about this in the discord. Thank you for your contributions to the community. You gave me some good ideas for my solo Therion run.
I have an idea: can you beat kingdom rush by only using ally units?
yeah not reading that :P (you dont care) you gave a heart in your own comment
That must have been the most boring and unsatisfying run ever! Props to you!
This is how Dunkey played
Octopath is a really good game, it's a shame there aren't more challenge runs of it!
I was playing as blind as possible, so I didn't know you could steal soulstones. That would have made the [spoilers] fight so much easier. A combination of Alfyn's OP concoct ability for phase 1 and Dohter's Charity with the revitalizing jams I had stockpiled the whole game for phase 2 as well as, of course, Runelord Tressa (I had her for phase 2 on the winning run) helped me eventually beat it. The first phase took me lots of tries, but I actually beat the second phase the first time I got to it!
AFTER THE LONGEST BREAK FINALLY!!
Looks like this channel failed the challenge then.
Shyguymask no u
Shyguymask well so sad it did though.
:’(
@@Shyguymask no you didn't, it was worth it, I actually thought it'd be released only after valentine's
Shyguymask: Allow me to trim 20 minutes of the second boss into few seconds.
The second boss: *_dying boss noises_*
I’ve never seen a octopath challenge before, this looks great!
The stereotypical Cleric, Warrior, Thief, Scholar. Balance at it's finest
The only thing missing from this setup is a bard, but I have very little knowledge of this game other than that it's art style is called "HD-2D" so I have no idea if a bard even exists as a class/job.
This games almost as underrated as astral chain
Wait that game's out!? Since when!?
@@chiefdillington26 Astral chain? A few months allready.
Still best game
Nice joke mate.
Two awesome games that didn’t get enough attention. It’s possible because they were switch locked but idk
0:43 ""I recall that I am a pony"" best qoute ever
He said alrighty
Great video, I ain't done yet but I laughed my ass off when you went in to Winnehild half-cocked. She absolutely wrecked my shit and I ended up cheesing her with the Runelord Tressa strat
Rune lord tressa is to tempting at times for winnehild in specific
@@bananaranch6002 sorcerer tressa would like to have a word with you
What a grear video! Even though I don't do challenges, the strategies used in this video sure help my casual run much more fun and easier, thanks!
You’re the main way I got into octopath, I thank you for this.
Same
wait....
so...
does this mean we can't make our focus unparalleled anymore?
My blade is bending
*Sad Cyrus noises*
Shyguymask I’ve never heard of Octopath before this video
Now the true lesson will never begin
Camel That is a shame. It’s a really good game, one of my personal favorites.
Wait hold up. Hold the fuck up.
Octopath is a jrpg with beautiful visuals? I thought it was a game about an octopus....
Oooh sounds fun
Never played this game though
Awesome game, bad challenge
Yeah this not the fun way to play (as he says)
But you should definitely give it a try!
Only watched because sgm uploaded it and it seems nice
I don't even have a pc
You should get it, it's a masterpiece!
As someone who just played and finished this game including the end boss, I appreciate runs like this so much! Thank you for your efforts and sharing it with the world!
This dude is an actual legend for doing this challenge.
posted 8 minutes ago... UA-cam really doing it's job by notifying me about great youtubers
Man this game feels nostalgic already, and last time I played was like, October :v
Nobody
Ophelia: IlL dO mY bEsT
Yay! I've been waiting 4 this video 4 so long!
Somehow the part were Tressa becomes runelord was inevitable. Just because how good she is
I tried a similar challenge which I didn't allow myself to boost, but I got bored after like an hour XD And you did it without boosting AND breaking. Talk about some insane dedication.
Little sidenote: I decided to do another challenge after that and I find that one to be really fun! Beating the game without using items (in battle and outside of battle). It's a pretty interesting challenge since I find myself relying on items a lot in this game.
19:49 broke me
so shyguymask failed...
Where was my notification UA-cam, you are making me miss out on great content
I started the game a few days ago... I'm currently stuck at a boss, insanely underleveled and very confused, but I know exactly that after I struggled through the first time, my second time will be destruction in it's purest form.
I'll put off watching this until I finish it...
Dude, this was seriously some of the best tutorial footage for this game I have seen on UA-cam. Props.
(Also I'm freaking terrible and can't beat Galdera even with the combined power of the game's full mechanics and the internet, so this is beyond me.)
Jacob Martin I know right
@@jacobmartin8332 bruh dont worry Galdera is super hard, i have beat it once and tried the other day and failed miserably
This deserves way more views dude. The amount of dedication put into this challenge in incredible.
This is the definition of madlad
10/10, your best one yet.
*DoNt StArT tHiNgS yOu CaNt FiNiSh*
*smacking intensifys x100*
This is probably really late, but I really enjoyed this video, even though I watched it 20 times already. I’m not gonna tell you what to do with your channel, but I would really enjoy another Octopath video. But again, this is your channel, and I like your videos anyway so I’m not gonna complain either way.
You know, I was just looking for a way to make Octopath harder. And I think I might of just found it
favorite challenge youtuber and favorite game in one video
Same
This was worth waiting for,
Great vid i love it.
this video made me buy octopath, it is a great video! keep up the good work
A lot of the end game stuff I was like. Oh yeah, that's straight up wizard101 territory 😅🤷🏻♂️
This is an old video but: I’m amazed you had the patience for this! I’m a very strategy type person and would NOT be able to do the game without breaking or boosting. I’ve barely completed a few characters chapter 4’s, and that’s after 50 hours!
all this does for me is confirm that Steal SP is hilariously busted and remains that way throughout an entire game
After watching kill la kill, I can’t unhear gamagori (or however you spell it) whenever olberic speaks
man, you found sone wierd glitcg I think, one attack and suddenly it goes _bambambambambambambambambambam_
When I first saw the title of this video, I had never heard of Octopath Traveler before and thought it was an Octodad thing and I saw "No boosting or breaking" And I was like "Excuse me what?"
But now I want to get this game, it looks very fun, good vid
The difference in views between this video and your No Sunflowers challenge is staggering.
The title of this video alone caused me physical pain. Why would you do this to yourself? There are people who care about you!
well, at least now you are unaffected by terror
21:46 Epic Godcat / Akron / Devourer is listening.
21:55 Called it.
This reminds me, I should actually finish Octopath Traveler!
I really enjoyed what I played, but whenever I play the game I always get massive headaches for some reason? Maybe I’ll just push through the pain lol
Pvz 3 looking thicc
So I’ve started playing octopath traveller (regular style) and I came here to see how my party differs to a (more professional and good) players party. And it’s interesting to me because I’ve chosen to have Cyrus and therion in my party, but then have Alfyn and Tressa in my party, and then have the secondary jobs cover the classes that the primary jobs don’t (Tressa as a dancer, Cyrus as a cleric, Alfyn as a warrior and Therion as a hunter).
Also I’ve now set my goal to be to get runemaster despite only just having beaten Teresa’s chapter 2.
That's a loooooot of grinding would recommend getting sorcerer first (double cleric dancer cheese strat to make the sorcerer fight easy) sorcerer makes all the other super bosses a lot easier
Wow!!! I have no words how good this is.
I think the real octopath traveler is the friends we made along the way.
Okay Pearce ..............
What friends?
FINALLYYYYY
Wow you actually made me enjoy a octopath travler video. Kudos to you for making me enjoy something i hate so much, you're now one of my favorite content creators.
As someone who speedruns this game good job on this challenge dispite not beating Galdera as you say fight seems very rng dependant.
Can you beat the game without Boosting or Break? Yes.
It will be fun: no.
Good video!
I have plenty of spare time...
I've memorized the entirety of a YTP song...
Help.
I only beat this game with Tressa so far. This makes me want to go back, beat it with everyone else and unlock all the side classes. Plus the end game stuff after that that I've only heard exists - which is why I stopped watching around 20 mins mark.
I love the combat and music so much!
18:35 ...*pauses video* *cues up megaphone*
BOOOOOOO
12:57 Olberlic:Damn!
Also Olberlic : Victory shall be mine!
Thanks for teaching me to save scum op weapons, good passives to use, and subclass to choose
Oh my gosh that looks so freaking boring playing the game like that. How the heck did you have the patience for this??
Just got the hunter class really early. Lol (I hope someone gets it)
@@voxl1773 *golf clap*
I watched this assuming that Soulstones would be the main source of damage and that would end up making Darius the hardest boss in the game because of him stealing your items, but the Runes were a nice surprise. Although, one question: did you consider utilizing Summons with Ophilia and Primrose? With the levels you had at the end, you would be able to easily get a Strength 10 NPC with both of them. Though, the random targeting would probably cause issues, so maybe that's why I never saw them used.
Yeah, the main reason I didn't really use summons was because I can't control them and it could lead to accidental Breaks.
Is this known as the Dunkey run?
Merchant. Hired Help, even not boosted, is very useful. I'd have skipped over Cyrus, only gone for Scholar Shrine instead to get EM on a character, and grabbed Tressa and Merchant Shrine for two Hired Help users. The only trouble would be funding it when you need it, but if you're willing to spend time stealing 3% chance weapons, might as well try for the low chance sellable items as well.
Really smart, good job!
This video got me into Octopath Traveler.
Begin: Awesome battle system
End: This game is shallow
4:12
Did you uh, just break those guys
I didn't
I had an idea for a small challenge if you did another video around challenges that couldn't get a full video: there's a tower defence game online called Stark tower defence, which is based on the super hero squad cartoon. A possible challenge could be trying to best that game without upgrading towers
When I was playing that game, I also started with therion
That Olberic character, and him being used for defense, reminds me of a boss in a different game. "Obryk the Shield Warden" I believe he was called, in "Remnant: From the Ashes." The boss's gimmick was that most of him was armoured, or most of the time he would have his shield covering his body. Oh, and that he used aura damaging, and inflicted slow debuffs. And part of his gimmick is that he just hits very hard. He does a lot of damage per hit.
I video on one of my favorite games.
Awesome
Me: Sees the title
Also Me: Tressa Runelord + Sidestep and gg bro
Octopath Traveler upload: Hippity hoppity, who has summoned me? 👀
11:27: These bosses are intended to be fought from around chapter 3 to chapter 4 from what I can tell.
For any commenter wondering. Balogar phy attack is converted into elemental damage. That's why shackle foe would have been useful in the fight against him and why you should have elemental defense gear equiped if you plan on taking hits.
I don't know if you'd ever try this challenge, but it might be fun
Starbreak, without jumping.
(once you have unlocked fabricator, or gotten a decent shell, that is)
At 24:58 you were lucky but at the same time not. Having either the Red Eye or the Omniscent Eye to petrify one of your party members is extremely rare and I don't know the anyone that has had one petrifyed, even in the Octopath subreddit (I know there's some that did get petrifyed, but none I know have).
Edit: Spelling
And when Ophilia was confused she ended up hitting the eye while also triggering Second serving. If anything my RNG was overall better than average even though I still died hard lol.
Damn, I couldn't even beat Galdera normally. .-.
Just spam alfyn's divine skill and use revitalizing jams for the first phase and warmaster for the second phase
Nice work definitely worth the wait
This game looks similar to atelier iris series goddamn i loved that game when i was young,now i need a ps2 to play them again
And i have one,but its broken
I'd really like to see more Octopath Traveler challenge videos, but what else could you do with the game besides this?
I can already feel this boiling down to poison scumming
15:05 They're called "Super"bosses because they're like Superman compared to normal humans like your party. Oh, and they have a banging boss theme. Can't forget that.
21:53 Me fighting Dreamy Bowser or making my way to Bowser X: "First time?"
I think you take an interesting approach. Most people who attempt challenges for games seem to make the plan before they play, and you just jump right in. Not necessarily bad, just different. I do recommend in challenges like this though you take a 'casual' playthrough and attempt the bossfight with whatever it is your challenge is supposed to be just to see if it's possible at all, so that you don't waste fifty million hours. People like challenges, but you could at least test it first to find out if it's possible and then not worry about spending four hours on one bods fight. 🤷🏻♀️
_BENDING_
Is it only me, or does it look like Cyrus in his victory pose is handling a gun?
I couldn't imagine trying this in the sequel..
YES A NEW VIDEO
