How to complete Will Research for Money in Octopath Traveler 2

Octopuff research, that is.

Will Research for Money is an Octopath Traveler 2 side story you can find in Montwise. It’s from an Octopus Researcher who’s looking for someone to fund his studies in Octopuffs. Where do you find an equally eccentric person to invest in this man’s research?

Where to find an Octopuff investor in Octopath Traveler 2

You won’t find your Octopuff investor in Montwise. This is a town of scholars. The man you’re looking for is having the time of his life in Conning Creek (Harborlands). He hangs out in the local tavern. Allure (Agnea) or Guide (Temenos) him to Montwise. Speak with the Octopus Researcher again to complete the quest. The Octopus Enthusiast will agree to fund the research after seeing a picture of an Octopuff, calling it “cute.”

The researcher will reward you with an Octopuff Pot for your efforts—an accessory that increases the chances of an Octopuff appearing in battle. If you haven’t seen one, they’re orange-colored Octopi that drop a lot of EXP when defeated. They flee quickly though!

If you Inquired or Scrutinized the local NPCs, you’ll actually find out that Conning Creek is famous for everything Octopi-related. There’s even a family here who runs an Octopus restaurant and merchants who sell Octopi-related goods. Naturally, it attracts people who like Octopus.

You can actually try to bring the Octopus Researcher other scholars or wealthy men to see if they’re willing to invest in his studies. Most of them have unique dialogue attached, an attention to detail we really love about Octopath Traveler 2. For example, if you haven’t completed Stage Actors in Tropu’hopu yet, know that it’s one of our personal favorite quests because of all the unique dialogue you can get.
