This character guide for Agnea serves to highlight her story and her unique functions. It explains the actions unique to Agnea, including Path Actions and Abilities.
Agnea’s Unique Actions
Agnea’s Unique ActionsEach Traveler has unique abilities specific to them, referred to as Path Actions, which they get two, one for each time of day. These can accomplish a variety of goals from accessing new areas, and information on the world, or providing additional items.
Path Actions are only available to the character that starts with this job, in this case, Agnea. They must be in your party to perform the Path Actions below.
Day Path Action: Allure
Allure allows Agnea to use her charms to be able to convince NPC to follow her. Once in battle, Agnea can Summon these allies for a variety of effects ranging from damage to supportive buffs. The chance to Allure a target is determined by level.
New to Octopath Traveler 2, Agnea’s companion will enhance her dance skill with additional effects. This can empower her role as a support or increase her potential as a damage dealer.
An attempt at Alluring is considered a rogue Path Action, as such failure can lower your reputation within a town. Five failures in total damage your reputation, but this can be fixed by speaking to the Tavernkeeper in the town and paying them a modest fee.
Some NPCs require a higher level to Allure, which can be lowered by gaining information from specific NPCs. In some situations, you may also be able to use Cleric’s Path Action ‘Guide’ in place of Allure if you’re not at the required level to allure the NPC.
Night Path Action: Entreat
Entreat Allows you to obtain items from NPCs. What items you’re allowed to receive is determined by level. The items you can get range from sellable junk to some of the best healing items and weapons in the game.
Entreating is level-based Path Action. This means you cannot fail the action or have your reputation in a town damaged as a result.
Since this Path Action is determined by level, you may find NPCs in the world that can enhance this Path action. This will result in a lower required level when Entreating items.
Entreating can be a good substitute for the Scholar’s Mug action, which is the alternative Path Action that can acquire items at night. While this will not grant any form of experience, there will be some cases where it’s easier to Entreat an NPC, rather than Mug them.
Talent: Dance Session
When Agnea uses her Allure ability and has an NPC following her, the NPC will provide additional effect to her dance skills. These effects can restore HP or SP, provide additional buffs, or even cleanse negative effects.
These additional effects are only single target. This means using Agnea’s Latent Power All Together Now or the Dancer’s Divine Skill Sealticge’s Seduction will not apply the bonus to all affected party members. It will apply the effects to a single member, chosen at random.
Skills like Dagger Dance, which deals damage to foes but is still considered a dance, will instead apply the bonus to Agnea herself. This can allow her to keep herself consistently buffed, or restore HP/SP with each use of these skills.
Latent Power: All Together Now
Latent Powers are a new feature to Octopath Traveler 2, which gives each traveler an ability that’s completely unique to them. These skills are earned by building the Latent Power Gauge by receiving damage and breaking foes. Using a Latent Power expends the gauge to provide its effects and do not require SP.
Agnea’s Latent Power is called All Together Now. Activating this Latent Power allows Agnea to spread the effects of any single-target skills, including damage skills but excluding Divine Skills and self-cast skills.
All Together Now allows Agnea to take skills that can be lackluster on their own and makes them much more potent. This includes her own buffs and attacks, allowing her to quickly apply a max duration buff to her entire party for a single set of BP.
One particularly potent combo with this Latent Power is to use it to spread the Dancer’s Ruinous Kick skill. This will deal heavy damage to all enemies and reduce their shields by 1. If this breaks foes, this can also substantially refill her Latent Power gauge.
Agnea’s Dancer Skills
Agnea’s Dancer SkillsAgnea’s starting job is Dancer. With that comes a set of active and passive skills that complete the character. Dancers are a supportive class that buffs their allies with their dances. Dancers also deal decent physical damage, though generally less than other jobs focused on damage dealing.
For more information on Agnea’s job as a Dancer, check out our Dancer Job Guide. This covers all the skills of the Dancer in-depth as well as any synergies that Agnea and the Dancer job have with the other jobs available in the game.
Agnea’s EX Skills
EX Skills are a new feature of Octopath Traveler 2. Each Traveler has two skills unique to them that the other Travelers cannot get. These are often powerful attacks or skills with powerful utility.
Windy Refrain
- Skill Type:
Wind, Buff - SP Cost: 18
- Effect: Deal wind-based damage to all foes and cause your allies to act first next turn.
- Boost Effect: Increase Damage per BP spent.
Wind, Buff
While this skill won’t deal a ton of damage, it provides a useful secondary effect that can be incredibly good when used well. Having your whole team move first, instead of say a boss, ensure you’ll be able to recover from any damage taken the previous turn. It also just in a better position overall for combat.
Where to Unlock Windy Refrain
Windy Refrain can be obtained by taking Agnea to the Altar of the Lady of Grace. She is required to be in the active party, or she will not receive this skill.
This Altar can be found on the Northern Wellgrove Trail. Right near where the path split between heading north to Timberain or East toward Cropdale. Tucked behind the tree and a fallen log is a cave, in which resides the altar room.
Song of Hope
- Skill Type: Buff
- SP Cost: 32
- Effect: Extends the duration of a single ally’s positive status effects by 1 turn. This does not affect Divine Skills.
- Boost Effect: Increases the number of turns effects are extended by an additional turn per BP spent.
Song of Hope is a niche skill, despite it being a fairly strong effect. It can be incredibly powerful when used alongside Castti and her Remedy EX SKill. It really only shines when extending certain effects that are costly to re-apply or otherwise cannot be reapplied.
Where to Unlock Song of Hope
As her second EX Skill, Song of Hope is unlocked during the final encounter of Agnea’s final chapter in Merry Hills. She’ll be able to use it in that boss encounter, but it’s not worth planning around.
Agnea’s Story
The sections below are details on Agnea’s Story in Octopath Traveler 2. As such, there are many spoilers below.
Overview
Agnea is a dancer for a small village tavern, working to earn and save up enough money for a journey of her own. She wishes to leave her small village, to see bigger cities and larger crowds.
Agnea wants to be a star, just like her late mother was and is determined to set out to do so. Thanks to a generous contribution from the local tavernkeeper, she manages to earn enough money to be able to set out on her journey.
Chapter 1
Agnea works as a dancer in a tavern for a small village. She aspires to be a famous dancer and singer, like her late mother. Since the death of her mother, her Father Garud has opposed her dream and have given Agnea a proposition: Earn 10,000 leaves and he’ll allow her to go on her journey.
Thanks to her dancing and the generous tavern patrons and Tavernkeep Gus, she finally earns enough to be able to go on her journey. However, before she leaves, she wants to put on one last show for the upcoming festival in town.
The next day, she assists with getting things prepared for the festival that night. In the middle of helping with the setup, Gus appears and tells her that her sister Pala went into the forest to gather barriers and has yet to return.
She starts to immediately head to the forest, but Guss tries to stop her, warning her that footprints of a duorduor were spotted in the forest. This only hastens Agnea’s desire to head into the forest and find her sister.
Agnea and Gus search the forest for her sister, and eventually run into the duorduor, a very large, boar-like creature. Gus wants to flee, but Agnea want to fight the beast, to prevent it from getting to the town and disrupting the festival.
They take on the beast, and manage to take it down. Pala then appears, apologizing profusely about taking so long to get berries, totally unaware of the danger she was in. They return to town, with Agnea’s dress that she was going to perform in now ruined.
Upon their return to town, they meet up with Galud who proud, in his own way, presents Agnea with her mother’s dress, but fitted for her. She happily accepts it and puts it on for her performance at the festival, where she performs her mother’s song in her honor.
The following day, Agnea sets off on her journey to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a star.
