How to Beat Dolcinaea

Boss Tips


Share Roles In Your Party

Octopath Traveler 2 - Share Roles

Dolcinea has two forms with different sets of weaknesses. In addition, she has the ability to momentarily take away one of your party members or even utilize them against you. Make sure you have at least two healers, two heavy hitters and so on to make sure you can survive the battle even with an incomplete party.

Best Party Setup and Team Composition

Immediately Defeat Captured Ally

Octopath Traveler 2 - Immediately Defeat Captured Ally

Dolcinea's second form can capture one of your characters and use them against you. This means not only do you have less characters to fight with, but she'll have an additional unit to take actions against you. Make sure to focus fire on the captured ally to get them back immediately.

Utilize Skill and Items that Nullify Ailments

Octopath Traveler 2 - Utilize Ailment Nullifiers

Dolcinea has several skills that can apply annoying ailments to your party. This can be devastating especially if she's already taken away one of your characters. Use abilities such as the Apothecary's Rehabilitate and items such as Herb Elixir to immediately get rid of of these ailments and protect your characters from them as well.
