Octopath Traveler Bosses Guide

Octopath Traveler has a ton of bosses to find and defeat over the course of your adventure. Similar to other enemies in the game, bosses also have weaknesses that you have to know to defeat them quicker. Otherwise, you will only be putting your characters at risk

The following tables will tell you the location of each boss in each chapter of Octopath Traveler, their shields, weakness, as well as the loot you will get after defeating them.

Keep in mind that some bosses change their weaknesses with each phase of the fight. This has been pointed out below.
