Complete the An Encounter with Olberic side quest to recruit him successfully. This quest becomes available after finishing the final chapter of the Master of All main quest.

Once Olberic joins your party, learn all of his skills to unlock Surpassing Power. This skill removes the 9,999 damage cap and allows your attacks to hit up to 99,999 damage.

Olberic Character Profile and How to Recruit

Equip the Surpassing Power Mastery to Everyone

Next, you’ll want to farm enough JP o obtain a Surpassing Power Mastery for every party member. This part is a grind, though once you have everyone equipped with it, it’s completely worth it, especially when dealing with end game bosses.

With Surpassing Power equipped, any character can exceed the normal 9,999 damage limit, turning your entire team into powerhouses instead of just Olberic doing all the work.

How to Maximize Damage Output

Use Powerful Damaging Skills

Skill Category Type Details
Ulti-meow Ulti-meow Ultimate Technique Ultimate Magic
Damage Type: N/A
Use all your SP, then deal non-elemental damage to all foes. More potent the more SP spent.
Lv. 2: Increase potency.
Lv. 3: Further increase potency.

High-damage skills are a necessity if you want to see the 99,999 damage come to fruition. Skills like Isla’s Ulti-meow are especially strong, as they consume all remaining SP to deal damage, the more SP you have, the harder it hits.

To squeeze even more damage out of Ulti-meow, equip accessories that increase maximum SP. This boosts the skill’s damage ceiling even further and helps you consistently hit massive numbers.

Equip the Best Weapon and Equipment

Battle-tested Sword

Weapons such as the Battle-Tested and Forbidden Weapons and end game equipment matter when you're trying to deal maximum damage, so always equip your party with the strongest available gear to maximize raw stats, especially physical and elemental attack.

Best Weapons and Equipment

Use Nuts on Party Members

Fortifying Nut (M) x 1 Pic (South Cragspear Pass, Cliftlands)

Nuts permanently increase a character’s stats, making them a key part of damage optimization. Fortifying Nuts increase physical strength, while Magic Nuts raise elemental attack.

Using these on your main damage dealers will significantly boost both physical and magic-based damage, helping you reach the upper limits of what Surpassing Power allows.

Octopath Traveler 0 - SilverTrophy
Hard Hitter
Deal at least 9,999 damage.

You’ll unlock the Hard Hitter trophy once you deal at least 9,999 damage in a single hit.
