Final Superboss Galdera Octopath Traveler II

He's somehow back... after a shoehorned side quest series, we can fight Galdera but he's way tougher than he was in Octo 1.

To get this quest line, you need to help Al outside of your first character's town, then turn in three books to the library, and finally teach Al how to decipher languages. This will make an island near where you get Arcanist be the Gate of Finis, which you can go from there and beat Galdera. No boss rush, convenient save point and all that.

For the first stage of the fight, my strategy relied on using Divine Protection under Sealctige's on Hikari to make me invincible. I had two Dancers for that reason, so I could easily reapply even if the eye took away my buffs. I also relied on Ochette's Provoke Beasts skill to keep breaking shields easily. And of course Cassti's medicine really helps here.

For the second stage, I rely on Temenos using his literal nuke skill to clear the way to the boss, having way too many close calls in the process. Thanks to an excessive sum of money, both phases can be handled by spamming the most expensive hidden Hired Help, as it deals damage and heals. Despite Geldera's massive shields, I'm able to just keep whirling away and keeping myself alive.

Also of note: I had Partitio Hire the 10 star priest for initial ivulnerability. I had Temenos hire the Tutor for a little shield breaking and meat shielding. Ochette had a Ku Officer which gives a bunch of buffs that I did not have to use. And Agnea had Benkei, whose dance ability gives plus one BP to target.

Just like in the original, your prize is an item that completely eliminates random encounters. The fight was super hard as Galdera's HP is way higher than before, but I am glad I finally beat it. Phew.
