How To Beat Tytos In Octopath Traveler 0

It’s finally time to take on Tytos the Thunderblade in Octopath Traveler 0 to complete the Master of Power storyline. Having destroyed several families and individuals, Tytos doesn’t seem to care who he destroys on his path to reach his own goals, and it’s up to you and your party, working with Velnorte once again, to finally put a stop to him.

Now that he has a plan to seize ultimate power with the help of Velnorte and his research, he poses an even more imminent threat, and anyone who opposes him will have to deal with the consequences. Here’s how to finally defeat Tytos.

How To Complete Tytos The Thunderblade

The first thing you’ll need to do is head to Emberglow and meet up with Velnorte once again to try and stop Tytos. After a cutscene, you’ll be tasked with aiding the hunter in hunting down a snow yak to help the woman in the snow.

Travel through the Emberglow Slopes, and you’ll come to a familiar spot while meeting up with the hunter, and you’ll have to fight a pair of Snow Yak.

Enemy	Name	Hit Points	Weakness
	Snow Yak	7,728 HP

There’s nothing too major to deal with regarding them, just watch out for their large AoE attack and don’t let your health get too low. You have the means to break them, so focus on one at a time, deal some good AoE damage, and you’ll quickly defeat them.

After you defeat the Yak’s, follow the quest marker and head to the Hunters’ House. After a few cutscenes, you’ll come across another fight, this time with Jurgen yet again. This time, he has a few new moves as well, but overall, he’ll do the same thing he did in the previous fight.

Jurgen	Shield	Hit Points	Weakness
	16	14,000 HP

Jurgen returns, this time with Mass Lethargy Sting to hit a single party member and have the chance to make them susceptible to damage. Venomous Sting, as before, hits a single person and leaves them poisoned. He also has Triple Piercing Thrust, which hits the party at random three times.

Aside from having more shield points and health, this process will go the same as your original boss battle against Jurgen, as he even has the same weaknesses, but this time you’ve got more party members and even more options.

Once defeated, Jurgen runs off as you watch another cutscene play out. Then you’ll be asked to join Rinyuu and the Hunter Dimitri as you head back through the Emberglow Slopes and to Velnorte’s house. After a few more cutscenes, you’ll head to the Ceremonial Square.

Ceremonial Square And Cathedral Of Tytos Enemies And Weaknesses

Enemy	Name	Hit Points	Weakness
	Scarlet Wing Believer	457 HP	Dagger Bow Tome Fan Lightning Light
	Research Fellow	477 HP	Dagger Axe Bow Fan Ice Light
	Ice Sentinel	493 HP	Dagger Axe Staff Fan Fire Dark
	Ice Guardian	534 HP
	Ice Curator	1,600 HP	Sword Dagger Bow Tome Fire Wind

Head through the area, checking all the houses for chests and treasure, then move toward the cathedral for another cutscene. Afterwards, explore the Cathedral of Tytos, checking every room along the way and following the quest marker.

Eventually, you’ll come across Tytos. It’s time to confront him for his actions in Wishvale, among everything else.

How To Beat Commander Tytos

Commander Tytos	Shield	Hit Points	Weakness	Moveset	Description
	17	20,608 HP	Polearm Dagger Bow Wind Light	Opression	Commander Tytos hits several party members, striking them with the terror affliction so they cannot boost or gain BP at the start of their turn.
				Brutal Sweep	Tytos performs a large AoE attack against the front row.
				Rule By Fear	Commander Tytos does a single attack against a party member, dealing heavy damage and applying the terror status.
				Precipe Of Fear	Commander Tytos does a devastating attack, leaving the character with only a single hit point.
				Thunderblast	Commander Tytos casts a thunder elemental attack against a single target.
				Dual Thunderblades	After readying, Commander Tytos does two heavy strikes against random party members.
				Attack	Commander Tytos performs a single attack against a party member.

This first fight against Commander Tytos is just a preview of things to come. The fight itself isn’t too difficult, you’ll just keep the usual fare of paying attention to where your BP is, who has it, and stacking it up to help break him.

The terror status means you’ll not be able to reliably boost as you would before, so while you can’t boost at all, you will want to swap in characters who can.

Alternatively, you can leave these terror-inflicted characters in the front row and have their basic attacks help to break Commander Tytos while the others gain BP in the back row. Then, swap the rows to help quickly break him. Luckily the terror status only lasts a few turns.

You do have to be careful, as though it only targets a single party member, dropping anyone down to a single hit point is always dangerous. Your best asset here will be healers. While it’s slightly true here, it’s even more important in the second phase.

You’ll be able to survive most of everything he throws your way during this phase, with HP regen from Vim and Vigor and buffing help from Velnorte in the back row.

Once he’s defeated, you’ll see a cutscene before moving on to phase two. When you do, however, you will not be healed in between phases, so ensure that before you take out Commander Tytos, you heal up and use items as necessary to start the second phase off right.

How To Beat Tytos The Thunderblade

Tytos The Thunderblade	Shield	Hit Points	Weakness	Moveset	Description
	19+	29,078 HP	Polearm Dagger Bow Wind Light	Thundering Gale	Tytos the Thunderblade hits random party members five times.
				Brutal Sweep	An AoE attack against the front row, dealing large damage to everyone.
				Thundersquall	An AoE attack that hits the front row with thunder damage twice.
				Suppression	A large AoE attack against the entire front row. The hit applies the terror status to everyone in the front row as well.
				Rule By Fear	Tytos the Thunderblade hits a single party member twice, applying terror to them as well.
				Precipice Of Fear	A devastating attack against a single party member, leaving them at one hit point.
				Wail of the Thunderblade	After readying for the turn, Tytos the Thunderblade hits the entire front row for a devastating attack, dealing more than 1,000 damage to each character.
				Attack	A single attack against a party member.

As soon as the battle begins, Velnorte will cast Enhanced Remedy, giving increased Physical Attack, Physical Defense, Elemental Attack, and Elemental Defense for the entire party. He will also consistently cast Heal All, placing Vim and Vigor on the front row for continual healing for its duration. You will absolutely need this, because this fight is difficult.

Tytos the Thunderblade starts every turn by creating an energy-draining barrier. This barrier will reduce 1 BP from everyone at the end of the turn while it’s active.

This means your strategy here should be a bit different. Instead of saving BP, you should use it while the field is up, so you won’t lose it. Once you break him, the BP you’ve lost at the end of the turn will be returned to you.

When he reverts from being broken, he will once again cast the energy-draining barrier, and he will increase his shield points. This can get up to 25 shield points you’ll have to fight through while being strapped for BP, as one point is sapped at the end of each turn while the energy field is still active.

You’ll have to fight through a lot of back-to-back damage from Tytos here, and you’re going to want to keep at least two characters with First Aid ready to heal anyone who is down.

The hardest part here will be that so many of the attacks are AoE, hitting the entire front row, and they can hit hard. Several attacks hit the whole row multiple times as well, meaning you’ll have to get comfortable with swapping rows and healing up as necessary.

A good strategy is to move injured party members to the back row for protection and heal the entire row when you can.

As long as you can handle all the incoming damage and swap properly, you’ll survive the onslaught Tytos the Thunderblade will throw at you.
