How to Beat Trousseau

Boss Tips



Defeat as Fast as Possible

Octopath Traveler 2 - Defeat as Fast as Possible

The gimmick for this chapter's boss is that the rain slowly decreases your party's maximum HP. There's no way to prevent this and sort of acts like a timer for the battle. The longer the battle lasts, the lower your party's HP becomes, the harder it is to survive Trousseau's vicious attacks. Make sure to bring your heavy hitting characters that can deal the most damage in the shortest amount of turns to quickly finish the battle.

Utilize Skills that Protect from Ailments

Octopath Traveler 2 - Utilize Skills that Protect from Ailments

Trousseau has a lot of skills that apply multiple ailments to multiple characters. Utilize skills such as the Apothecary's Rehabilitate or Castti's Cleansing Leaf Medical Concoction to protect your best characters during the fight.

List of All Skills

Break When Preparing After Transformation

Octopath Traveler 2 - Trousseau Transformation

At the midpoint of the battle, Trousseau transforms and becomes a lot more powerful. His shield is much higher and his prepared attacks can end the fight in an instant. However, he'll have a lot more weaknesses. Make sure you are able to break him in any way possible when he's preparing an attack indicated by the purple glow on his avatar.

Break and Boost System Guide

Bring Items that Restore SP and BP

Octopath Traveler 2 - Bring Items that Restore SP and BP

Trousseau has a skill that can deplete your party's BP and SP. This can be devastating when done at crucial moments of the fight. Items such as the Inspiriting Plum Basket or the Revitalizing Jam can be lifesavers for these instances.
