How to Beat General Rou

Boss Tips

Utilize Vengeful Blade Skill

Octopath Traveler 2 - Utilize Vengeful Blade

Having to face General Rou alone, it will be harder to figure out his weaknesses. General Rou has a relatively low shield value, so having a passive counter attack deplete his shield can help you break him easily. This will allow you to save your boosts and latent power for greater attacks when he is broken.

Break and Boost System Guide

Bring Heals Beforehand

Since Hikari will face General Rou alone, it's best to stock up on some recovery items, be it for HP, SP, BP, or Latent Power.

This will speed up the flow of combat, allowing Hikari to be able to execute his skills and attacks with ease.
