How to Beat Dreadwolf

Boss Tips

Defeat the War Wolves Immediately

Octopath Traveler 2 - Defeat War Wolves

The Dreadwolf will constantly summon two War Wolves that will protect some of its weaknesses. Try to defeat these immediately as soon as they are summoned to gain access to all of the Dreadwolf's weaknesses.

Utilize Fire Attacks

Octopath Traveler 2 - Utilize Fire Attacks

The War Wolves will protect most of the Dreadwolf's weaknesses except for its fire weakness. In addition, the War Wolves are also weak to fire. Utilize multi-target fire attacks such as the Scholar's Fireball and Fire Soulstones to constantly deal damage to and decrease the shield value of all enemy units.

If you have a Conjurer in your party, utilize Conjure Flames to have all of your attacks embedded with the fire element.
