How to Beat Deputy Cubaryi

Boss Tips


Take Note of the Shield Colors

Shield Type (Color) Effect
Nullifying Shield.png Nullifying Shield
(Purple)
Prevents debuffs, safe to attack directly to reduce Shield Points (SP).
Reflecting Shield.png Reflecting Shield
(Blue)
Redirects Elemental Attacks back to user, attack only with Physical attacks to lower SP.
Poison Shield.pngPoison Shield
(Green)
Poisons attacker when attacked physically, use only Elemental attacks or Soulstones to lower SP.

Other than the fact that Cubaryi's weaknesses will shift and change throughout the battle, another thing you have to be wary of when facing her is her ability to cast shields that have a range of effects.

Be Ready to Cure Poison

Octopath Traveler 2 - Temenos Chapter 3 - Stormhail Route - Be Ready to Cure Poison

In the event that you take the risk of attacking her physically to reduce her SP while the Poison Shield is up, be ready to cure poison as it has a devastating effect over time. It is recommended to have a decent amount of Herb of Light to cure poison. This can be bought in Ryu for 30 leaves.

List of All Items, Materials, and Valuables

Use Temenos' Latent Power

Octopath Traveler 2 - Use Temenos Latent Power
Temenos' Latent Power allows him to reduce shield points with any attack, which helps bypass Deputy Cubayri's shifting weaknesses.

Specifically, you can use a maximum boost normal attack when Deputy Cubayri has her Reflecting Shield in front of her, and you can make Temenos a Scholar and use a maximum boost Elemental Barrage to Break her while her Poison Shield is up.

Herb of light doesn’t cure poison, it cures blindness. Herb of healing cures poison.
