This is part 4 of my segmented speedrun for Octopath Traveler, aiming to beat all 8 character's main stories and obtain all 12 jobs (All Main Stories + All Jobs).

Scroll down to the bottom for more general thoughts on this specific segment, but it was overall good.

Notes on fourth segment:

Ogre Eagle was the most troublesome boss in this segment because he can both Sleep and Confuse the party. We use Alfyn with Clarity/Wakeful Stones to prevent this as he can Defend and Concoct 1T of Rehabilitate to the party so they can cure themselves and act. This leaves his HP low as his accessory slots are used up, so we need the Vendetta Coat we got from Simeon earlier for the battle.

The issue is if you do this, you cannot use Injurious + Curious to Leghold Ogre Eagle, so you want double hunters w/ Rain of Arrows to chip the shields alongside Sorcerer to break Ogre Eagle. With that and some defensive buffs/debuffs, the rainbow turkey isn't too bad.

Darius and Esmeralda aren't particularly noteworthy. For Darius, I actually triggered the AI Loop glitch unintentionally, which did ironically help a bit toward the end.

Esmeralda is easy with Olberic's Bolster Defend. Wind concocts are cheap, and Miguel's Spear that we unlocked earlier gives enough accuracy to not miss her (it's the only accuracy spear in the entire game). A minor mistake was leaving Olb on Spear (his speed Sword gives Crit reduction against Five Strikes), but it's not that big a deal.

Overall a good segment. Hopefully we can finish next time with Cyrus/H'aanit's stories and the last two advanced job bosses (Winnehild and Steorra).
