Alpione is a boss that you will encounter during Ochette’s storyline in Octopath Traveler 2. This will be while you are on your journey to find a Creature of Legend to save Ochette’s home.
However, Alpione will be standing in your way to stop you from going any further. She is also apparently a person of interest who knows about Cateracta’s fate, so defeating her and gaining information is vital.
Alpione is not going to go down easy. You will need to know her weaknesses and special attacks as well as a general strategy to defeat her in Octopath Traveler 2.

To stay a step ahead, you can also reveal Alpione’s weaknesses using previously captured monsters such as Mahina or Akala.

How to defeat Alpione in Octopath Traveler 2
Alpione boss only has 2 Shield Points so it is easy to get past her defenses and win the battle. The best strategy to gain victory against Alpione is to make use of your captured creatures.
From the Provoke menu, you go for Mahina to reveal Alpione’s weaknesses. Akala’s ‘Sharp Fang’ and ’Wild Mole III’s ‘Double Stab’ are also attacks that you can use to gain dominance.
You can also deal damage by using Light Revenant’s ‘Solar Ray Clock’ and to deliver the final blow you can make use of Akala’s ‘Finishing Blow’.
You also need to keep in mind that while facing Alpione you won’t have any party members so you need to equip yourself with a healing beast well before the battle begins.
Best party for Alpione
You encounter Alpione in the 2nd Chapter of Ochette’s Storyline so there isn’t any member in your party yet. You have to face this beast alone and make her meet her fate.
What else to bring to the fight?
There is not much that you need to bring to the battlefield while fighting Alpione except for the beasts that you have captured along the way. Make sure to put those beasts’ powers to good use as they will be your only support in this boss fight.
