After beating the main story, there’s still plenty of activities to complete in Octopath Traveler. If you want to conquer some of the hardest optional bosses, or explore a secret ending, you’ll need to be well-equipped. Some of the best weapons in the post-game are the Battle-Tested gear — there’s one of every weapon type in this set, including a shield, and if you want to find them all, we’ve got the locations listed below.
In Octopath Traveler, you play as one of eight protagonists — depending on the character you select first, that’s your main story. Naturally, there are still seven other stories for you to complete, and lots of side-quests, super-bosses, and even a hidden ending to find after completing your story. It really, really helps to grab some of these weapons. They’re not all the best, but they’re all incredibly strong, and pretty easy to get if you have some extra cash. The trickiest part is just knowing where to look.
