How to Beat Garnet

Boss Tips

Utilize Defensive Skills

Octopath Traveler 2 - Utilize Defensive Skills
At the later part of the battle, Garnet will have the ability to take three consecutive actions. This can be detrimental to your party as three consecutive attacks, if unlucky, can immediately take down several characters at the same time. During this phase of the battle, use what skills you have that can avoid, deflect, or help tank these consecutive attacks. One example is Partitio's Sidestep which allows him to completely dodge a physical attack.

Utilize High Defense Equipment

Octopath Traveler 2 - Utilize Defense
For the same reason above, before entering the battle, be sure that your characters are utilizing equipment that has the highest defense. This will help your party survive those nasty combo attacks.
