Octopath Traveler II introduces EX Skills, which are powerful abilities that are unique to each character.
These skills can be used to turn the tide of battle in your favor, and can even be upgraded to become even more effective. In this guide, we will be taking a look at where to find every EX Skill in Octopath Traveler II.
Octopath Traveler II – Ex Skills:
First, it’s important to note that each character has two EX Skills. The first one is unlocked by completing their respective job’s story, while the second one is unlocked by visiting their primary job’s altar after completing their story.
To start, we’ll take a look at where to find each character’s primary job altar:
- Alfyn: Apothecaries’ Guild in Wellspring
- Olberic: Warriors’ Guild in Cobbleston
- Primrose: Dancers’ Guild in Sunshade
- Therion: Thieves’ Guild in Bolderfall
- H’aanit: Hunters’ Guild in Clearbrook
- Cyrus: Scholars’ Guild in Atlasdam
- Ophilia: Clerics’ Guild in Flamesgrace
- Tressa: Merchants’ Guild in Grandport
Once you’ve located the primary job altar for each character, you can visit them to unlock their second EX Skill. It’s important to note that you must have the character in your party to unlock their EX Skill, and secondary jobs cannot learn these skills at all.
Now, let’s take a look at where to find each character’s first EX Skill:
- Alfyn: Concoct – Unlocked by completing Apothecary’s Chapter 1
- Olberic: Challenge – Unlocked by completing Warrior’s Chapter 1
- Primrose: Allure – Unlocked by completing Dancer’s Chapter 1
- Therion: Pick Lock – Unlocked by completing Thief’s Chapter 1
- H’aanit: Provoke – Unlocked by completing Hunter’s Chapter 1
- Cyrus: Scrutinize – Unlocked by completing Scholar’s Chapter 1
- Ophilia: Guide – Unlocked by completing Cleric’s Chapter 1
- Tressa: Purchase – Unlocked by completing Merchant’s Chapter 1
In addition to these EX Skills, there are also four Hidden EX Skills that can be unlocked by completing certain side quests. These quests are given by the NPC, Meryl, who can be found in various towns throughout the game. The Hidden EX Skills are as follows:
- Second Wind – Restores all BP to a single ally
- Eye for an Eye – Counterattacks physical attacks with a physical attack
- Encore – Revives all incapacitated allies and restores HP
- Inner Strength – Reduces the BP cost of abilities for a single ally
