How to Beat the Sandlion

Save Boosts to Time Breaks

Octopath Traveler 2 - Sandlion Immobilize.png

The Sandlion has the ability to capture and immobilize multiple members of your party, and the only way to get them back is to trigger a break. Facing the Sandlion with an incomplete party is not ideal, so you'd want to break it as soon as possible when it captures one or more of your party members. Aside from targeting its weaknesses, saving your boosts for multiple hits will allow you to break it quickly when needed.

Break and Boost System Guide

Consider Bringing Temenos or Throne

Known Users
Temenos Temenos Throne Throne

Having access to Light and Dark Skills respectively, consider bringing Temenos or Throne to your party to be able to exploit the Sandlion's weakness to the two elements.

On top of that, players can also bring along Partitio to cover its weakness to Polearms.
