**Dreisang** is a character in *Octopath Traveler*. He is an optional boss at the end of the Archmagus Shrine. Once defeated, he will bestow the Sorcerer job.

## Story

Dreisang is one of the gods of the Orsterra pantheon. The tome *Trial of the Twelve, Volume VII* describes how the twelve gods sealed away a “terrible power,” the thirteenth god Galdera.

## Battle

## Strategy

Dreisang’s attacks consist primarily of the spells used by the sorcerer class (Ignis Ardere, Ventus Saltare, Tenebrae Operire, etc.) Each one hits three times for elemental damage of its respective element.

Considering that, Dreisang can be defeated easily by having a Dancer use Sealticge's Seduction on a Cleric, and having said Cleric use a **MAX** **boosted** Reflective Veil. This must be done after the status enhancement lock from Divine Majesty has worn off. If your Cleric is able to cast Aelfric's Auspices before hand you can double the Reflective Veil up to 8x per cast. With the Merchant skill Donate BP you can double this up to 16x before the buffs wear off (the max stack is 9x however).

However, note that you can prevent Divine Majesty outright by investing heavily in Speed on a Dancer, a Starseer, and one other ally so that they act before Dreisang can cast it.

1. Have one ally use either a Energizing Pomegranate (M) (any ally), a Boosting Balm (Alfyn), or a single-boosted Donate BP (Merchant) onto the *Dancer*.
2. Have the *Dancer* cast Sealticge's Seduction on the *Starseer*.
3. Using the *Starseer* to apply Celestial Intervention to your entire party. If your *Starseer* is Ophilia, they can immediately follow this up with Reflective Veil.
