All Battle-Tested Weapons & how to get them in Octopath Traveler 2

The overworld in Octopath Traveler 2 is filled to the brim with rare and powerful weapons, but the Battle-Tested Weapons put all others to shame. This is quite the boast seeing as there are heavy hitters like the Forbidden Blade out there. Statistically, though, the Battle-Tested Weapons provide more power than anything else a character can equip in the game.

Where to find the Battle-Tested Weapons in Octopath Traveler 2

Battle-Tested Blade

After completing Hikari's main storyline in Octopath Traveler 2, players can revisit Bandelam from Montwise. He changes location to the hill that overlooks the port south of Crackridge. To actually get the weapon (and all the others in fact), it's important to either bring Partitio or a high leveled Throne. The latter can steal the item, while Partitio can just buy them.

Battle-Tested Spear

To get this weapon, players will need to reunite with Benkei, Hikari's loyal guard. Travel back to Ku and speak with Mikka, Ritsu's sister. Benkei will then appear, and players can buy the Battle-Tested Spear of him or just steal it.

Battle-Tested Dagger

Players will need to complete a small quest with Castti before getting this weapon. Travel to Winterbloom, head inside the mansion and speak with the little girl on the second floor to recieve the quest. All Castti needs to do is steal a letter from Plukk, the boss from her second Chapter. After taking the letter, give it back to the girl inside the mansion. Plukk will then hangout in the garden out front, and players can steal or purchase the Battle-Tested Dagger from him there.
