All Battle-tested Weapon Locations in Octopath Traveler
As you start completing the chapter 4 content in Octopath Traveler and start to face off against tougher enemies, you might also stumble across a couple of Battle-tested weapons here and there. In our experience, these are some of the very best weapons and equipment you can get in Octopath Traveler. Listed below are all of the ones you can get in the game, and where you can find them. When you find the corresponding NPC, you’ll need to either have Therion steal it off them, or get Tressa to purchase them and hope for a discount.
Battle-tested Blade
- Obtained from Erhardt in Wellspring after completing all stories.
- Stats: Phys. Atk. +400, Critical +150, augments physical abilities

These weapons provide tons of nice perks for your characters, and while they’re not absolutely necessary for beating the game’s toughest bosses, they will make things a lot easier on you. Most of these weapons can only be obtained in the post-game phase, so we highly recommend picking them up before attempting the final post-game dungeon.
If you have any information on the location of the missing dagger, do sound off in the comments. In the meantime, be sure to check our wiki for more information on Octopath Traveler.
