How to Beat Rai Mei

Boss Tips



Defeat the Swordsmen Immediately

Octopath Traveler 2 - Defeat the Swordsmen

Rai Mei's weaknesses aren't in effect while the swordsmen are still alive. Make sure to defeat them as soon as you can to expose Rai Mei's weaknesses.

Utilize Skills That Decrease Shield Value

Octopath Traveler 2 - Utilize Skills that Decrease Shield Value

While her weaknesses aren't in effect, you can still target Rai Mei with skills. If you have them available, utilize skills like the Warrior's Vengeful Blade and the Dancer's Ruinous Kick to break her while the swordsmen are still alive.

List of All Job Skills

Monitor Rai Mei's Changing Weaknesses

Octopath Traveler 2 - Rai Mei Weaknesses

Rai Mei's gimmick is she has two sets of weaknesses that will constantly switch. So the faster you're able to reveal all of her weaknesses, the better you'll fare in the fight. If you have a Scholar, utilize the Analyze skill. If not, use attacks that target multiple foes so you can damage the swordsmen and check weaknesses at the same time.

Break and Boost System Guide

Use Hikari's Learned Skills

Hikari can learn multiple skills through his Path Action, Challenge, that can hit multiple opponents, such as Twin Serpents, which can take off two SP from the two Clan Mei swordsmen. You can also use Right Hook to take off 2 SP from Rai Mei immediately.
