Battle-Tested Equipment

Each Battle-tested equipment can be obtained from two sources:

1. Purchasing or stealing from specific NPCs completing corresponding character's Chapter 4 stories. Additional Side Stories may also need to be completed. Only 1 of each may be obtained in this manner.
2. Challenging or provoking a specific NPC, typically of 10 strength. There is no limit to the number of each equipment one can acquire, however the drop rate is extremely low (estimated 2%).
Bewildering Grace

* **Octopath Traveler**
* Octopath Traveler II

**Game Sub-Pages:**

**Bewildering Grace** is a Dancer skill in *Octopath Traveler*.

## Effect

Causes one random result to occur. Some effects are positive, others are negative.

**Boost**: Each boost rolls an additional effect, up to a maximum of 4, and also changes what can occur, with more powerful positive and negative effects showing up the more you boost. The following is a rough summary of the odds of getting different effects at different levels of boost:

The complete effect table is as follows:

## Results

* Positive Effects
* Negative Effects

## Trivia

* The positive effect **Light cascades down from above...** does not count as a weakness when breaking enemies weak to
* The maximum health restored by the negative effect **You summon a monster. A foe was revitalized!** is 99999 HP.
* EXP and JP multipliers stack additively with the support skills  or  (and the analogous accessories,  and ); effectively, only the base EXP and JP value is multiplied.
	+ For instance, if an enemy typically yields 100 JP, the net result of a **JP x 2** boost with Hard Worker would be 100 x (2 + 0.5) = 250 JP, not 100 x 2 x 1.5 = 300 JP.
Ageha

**Ageha** is a character in *Octopath Traveler II* who served Mugen during his time as king of Ku.

## History

Not much is known of Ageha's early life, though at some point he entered the service of the Ku Clan and became a high-ranking member under Mugen.

During the war against the southern rebels, Ageha was seen alongside Mugen and Kazan observing the battlefield before entering the fray and assisting in dispatching a group of soldiers.

Three years after the war ended and Mugen's subsequent takeover, Ageha became his advisor and reported on the defeat and capture of the southern rebel's town. When Mugen ordered the death of all of the townsfolk, Ageha went to carry out the order, though reluctantly.

During Hikari and Kazan's assault on Ku, Ageha confronted the former outside the palace, demanding his surrender before he was suddenly accosted by Rai Mei, who engaged him in battle to allow Hikari time to get past him and his soldiers, where he was defeated and subdued before Hikari came out of the palace and announced Mugen's death.

At some point after Hikari ascended the throne, Ageha was captured by Kazan and taken to the Tranquil Grotto, the location of one of the Sacred Flames, where he was killed and sacrificed by Kazan using the Darkblood Blade to put out the Flame, but not before Kazan revealed his true identity of Oboro to him.
Aelfric's Auspices

### Description

[Divine Skill] For 3 turns, skills performed by a single chosen ally will trigger twice (this will not effect other divine skills).

**Aelfric's Auspices** is the Cleric divine skill in *Octopath Traveler*.

## Effect

Applies the  **Aelfric's Auspices** buff to the target for **3 turns**.

For the duration of the effect, *all* skills (except other divine skills) trigger twice. The additional cast is completely free, requiring no additional SP or BP expenditure.

Divine Skill: Can only be executed while at Boost level MAX, which requires the expenditure of **3 BP**.

## Synergies

### Skills

* Physical and Elemental attacks trigger twice, striking twice as many weakpoints for twice as much damage.
* The duration of all Buffs, Debuffs, and Ailments stack, doubling the duration (max. 9 turns).
* Stacking Buffs cast twice, doubling the number of stacks (max. 9 stacks).
* Recovery Skills are cast twice, doubling the amount of HP, SP, or BP restored. Over-healing via the support skill  only applies to characters who are below their maximum HP, so if the first cast brings the character above max, the second cast does nothing.
* Revival spells are cast twice, though the second cast will have no effect.
* provides BP to an ally (except the user), setting up for this divine skill. Likewise, applying the  **Aelfric's Auspices** buff to a Merchant causes them to provide twice as much BP.

Bandelam's Next Chapter

"*It won't be long till we say goodbye to this place for good...*" —

**Bandelam's Next Chapter** is a cut side story in *Octopath Traveler II*. This side story is not accessible in the final game.

## Resolution

The side story would have been resolved using one of two methods:

"*Item: Frigit Isle Map
Bandelam and the others fail to escape from prison. This ought to restore order to Frigit Isle.*"

"*Lead: Cubaryi
With a little help, Bandelam and his cohorts escape from prison. Where they go from here is anyone's guess.*"
## Trivia

* In the final game, there are several differences between the world and this quest's description:
	+ Bandelam is found at Crackridge Harbor: Anchorage, instead of the Winterlands.
	+ Cubaryi is deceased. In this quest, she would've been lead as part of one of the endings.
	+ Frigit Isle is shut down. The description for this quest implies it was originally going to be a still-active prison in the endgame.
