How to Beat Glacis

Boss Tips


Boost Ochette to Raise Capture Rate

While damaging your enemy is a sure way to increase Catch Rate, when you are backed in to a corner with spare BP, it is recommended to gamble on a Boosted chance of capturing Glacis instead of taking the brunt of the hit on the next turn.

Break with Boosted Attacks

Octopath Traveller 2 - Ochette Chapter 2 Glacis Route - Use Fire Soulstones
Being a gigantic ice bird god has its downfalls too. Use BP boosted attacks to whittle down its Shield Points, then let your physical attackers keep hammering it with melee attacks and more elemental attackers like a Scholar take advantage of its weakness to flames.

Summon Tera to Counter Frigid Earth

Octopath Traveller 2 - Summon Tera
When Glacis is at low health, it will cast Frigid Earth, which takes some of your whole party's SP each turn, which may make the fight harder if you've already spent a lot of SP. However, Ochette can summon Tera to make Frigid Earth stop completely.
