How to Beat Lajackal or Malamaowl of the Sorrowful Moon

Save Boosts for Breaking either Boss

Octopath Traveler 2 - Ochette Chapter 3 Walkthrough - Save Boosts for breaking Enemy
As much as possible, save your boosts for breaking the enemy with multiple attacks. If you have abilities that already attack an enemy more than once regardless of Boost, it is highly advised to use them. It also helps having a Merchant in your party to donate BP to a particular party member that has a better chance at breaking an enemy.

Use Soulstones when Enemy is Broken

Octopath Traveler 2 - Ochette Chapter 3 Walkthrough - Use Soulstones
Once the enemy is broken, unless you are confident with the stats and buffs that your equipment provides, it is a recommended alternate strategy to pepper the enemy with as many large Soulstones as you have as it can easily deal 5400 damage per large Soulstone.

Heal Your Party Members Immediately

Octopath Traveler 2 - Ochette Chapter 3 Walkthrough - The Beast Preys

Occasionally, the Boss will prey on one of your party members, immediately making them go down to 1 HP, and they may fall the next time the Boss attacks, so immediately heal the party member that the Boss preyed on to prevent their death.
