Vados Boss Fight - Octopath Traveler II
0As part of Temenos’ investigation into the corruption behind the church, he arrives at Canalbrine. There, he learns the identity of the man who murdered the pontiff, and it is none other than the cathedral’s architect, Vados. Once he’s cornered, he’ll put up a fight that will light up the night sky, so let’s delve into how to beat Vados the Architect in Octopath Traveler 2.

Techniques: Summoning elementals, magic attacks.
Weaknesses: Spears, Daggers, Ice, Light.
Of all of the Chapter 2 boss fights in Octopath Traveler 2, Vados the Architect is actually among the easier ones to manage. First and foremost, this dapper gent deals exclusively in arcane magic, so you’ll want to ensure your party is optimized to sponge up elemental attacks. Specifically, you’ll be receiving a lot of Fire and Dark offensives.
When Vados starts chanting, you’ll want to divert all of your efforts towards Breaking him before he can complete his incantation. He will lock two of his weaknesses to slow you down, so if you are ill-equipped on the weaponry front, consider dipping into your collection of Soulstones before his next turn.
Unlike most other bosses who will unleash a strong attack if left unchecked, Vados summons two larger, stronger elementals. Whereas stacking your defences and effective healing can prevent a party wipe from an ultimate attack, you will really struggle to keep up if these elementals enter the battle.
Again, however, the architect’s sense of strategy is somewhat dubious, and he may end up wasting these elementals in a projectile shot, as well. If that happens, you can resume chipping away at his health as normal.
