Disclaimer the title is a bit misleading as some characters have multiple chapter 2s that can tackle so I just chose to go with the lowest leveled options. For example Throne has two options for chapter 2 which split off into their own chapter 3 routes. Castii also has a split chapter 2 but with a much larger level discrepancy. Ochette can tackle her tasks in any order so I just voted to go for lowest leveled first. So ultimately some characters have more chapters than others, sort of, so I'll just be trying to play it by ear when deciding what video goes. Ochette and Osvald lacked a proper dungeon boss for this chapter so I just went with their minibosses. Now as for how to deal with the bosses:

Vados - As mentioned in his video Vados isn't too difficult to take care of if RNG chooses to be nice. His attacks will be determined by the elements he summons and sacrifices. However, he isn't very bulky so the fight shouldn't be too difficult.

Reinforcement Guards - Consider... using an attack

The Slaver - really more of an interactive cutscene than a boss just make sure to pay attention to which choices have the blood splatter as those lead to a game over.

Bergomi - Actually a fairly mechanically involved boss either buffing up his men or debuffing you. He'll use his men to lock out his weaknesses and even change his weaknesses up after recovering from his first break. However once his men are gone his defense seems to drop significantly making the battle much easier.

La'Mani - I had to rerecord this fight because of my computer but even with the whacky stick doing crazy damage he still isn't difficult. He has some of the lowest HP for any chapter 2 boss and the only real gimmick is the dancers buffhing him while he sends out wind elemental screen nukes, if you have the wind brooch or armor here's a good place to equip it.

Sand Lion - OH MY GOD! Ok thankfully it has a lot of weaknesses and doesn't change those but with over 22,000 HP it will take a while to go down unless you have unlocked Castti's EX skill which does more damage the more debuffs an enemy has. Either way be mindful of when it abducts a party member, you're on a time limit to break the Sand Lion (whose shields keep increasing by the way)

Garnet - 23,000 Hp seems like a lot but you'll always have partitio, since it's his story, and should have amassed a decent amount of wealth by now, just unleash the power of capitalism to win easy.

Alpione - You can only use your monsters for this fight but Mahina will break anything that has an elemental weakness, after that just use the monsters you've swiped int he game.

Bandelam - Far an away the toughest boss of chapter 2 with him sporting two health bars to signify the different phases, keep in mind the only octopath 1 bosses that did this were Simeon and Galdera... a final boss and true final boss. Thankfully his weaknesses will stay the same in his second battle but now he'll alternate between locking out the odd and even weaknesses and will keep increasing his shields being the first of them to enter double digits. I don't know why they listed this as recommended level 15 It should've been 19 at least.
