I'd just like to thank everyone who has viewed & also donated a super chat on this video. It's unbelievably kind and totally unexpected. This video has been more popular than I ever thought it would be and I'm glad so many people have found it helpful. Thank you. 😃👍
You an absolute legend for posting this and deserve all the flowers you get. Seriously one of the biggest life savers for one of biggest hurdles to Platinum I've ever seen.
I must say that this is not only a great guide for this boss, but one of the best guides that I've seen on this platform. All the explanations were scrupulous. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!!! I was able to defeat Galdera in OT1 on my own but I hit a wall trying my best in OT2. Made it to the second phase but the party wasn't ideal so with this video I got it done. Thanks again.
Wow thank you for this, it's very kind of you and much appreciated. It's my first ever Thanks donation. 😁 I'm really pleased you got the platinum trophy as it's an awesome game and a fun platinum to go for, But the jump in difficulty for the final boss compared to all the others was nuts lol.
I'm really pleased it worked for you. I to spent over a week trying to defeat this boss, compared to all of the other bosses in the game this one was by far the most problematic to figure out.
List of most frustrating bosses in the game: 1: Galdera 2: Thurston 3: ... Nobody else comes close lol Galdera really does have a million different gimmicks that'll completely rock you if you let him move at all, doesn't he? I struggled a bit with him in the first game, but it didn't take me long to come up with a good strategy for beating him on my own. Octopath 2 Galdy seems undefeatable unless you come at him with immense efficiency and enormous power.
I have seen a few guides but this one is the best so far in terms of organization and step by step on how to react even when the characters are not in order. Thank you for the detailed guide.
The absolute best guide I found. Almost none of my party members were in order, and still managed to beat it. Very good job on this guide, much appreciated!
I was worried about this boss my whole playthrough. Followed this guide - and the fight could not have been easier!... Thank you for taking the time to make this guide.
Thank you so much for making this guide! This is really helpful! I am still preparing for my fight with Galdera.

Thanks for the guide. Adapted it a bit and used for example just one forbidden elixir. And after I beat this boss, I still had to run around and knock like 50 people down for plat. Felt strange but also nice running around and giving everyone a high five with Throne.
Yeah I intentionally took my time so people could follow, Also I was following my notes and did not want to mess up which is part of the reason I went slow. 😜 I'm glad you managed to beat it. 👍
I'm glad it worked for you. This fight was a nightmare for me until I switched to Temenos. I tried Throne and Hikari as damage dealers in phase two and kept getting destroyed, until I switched to Temenos. 😂
Hikari and Ochette were Lv70, rest were between Lv60 and Lv65. I thought I had no chance when I tried the fight. First, after some adjustments to my gear, I got through phase 1 no problem. Then came second phase. My Temenos was nowhere near as strong to oneshot the arms. So I got destroyed. Then I found this video. The use of Alpiones Amulet and Forbidden Elixier on Temenos was brilliant. I really thought my Temenos was underleveled (Lv63) and I would never survive beeing at 1HP. So I followed your instructions step by step. And suddenly he nuked everything with 99999 before Galdera could even blink. Thank you, for this amazing guide!
Nice one. I'm glad you managed to beat it. 👍 I love hearing how the video has helped people as I found this boss to be a nightmare at first. Temenos was always my healer, until I found out he was a monster damage dealer and does indeed destroy this boss if set up correctly. 😂
This Guide is spot on, had to jump back and forth depending on whose go it was in the first phase, but it all worked as you said. You beauty. appreciate the time and dedication you put in to getting us lot through it. thanks.
WORKED LIKE A CHARM. Some turns had a different turn order but as long as i followed what you did with each character it all panned out. Thanks a lot man
Nice one I'm glad you beat it, hope you got the platinum trophy. 👍 Yeah the turn should not matter that's why I put the text on the screen. Since only one character is the damage dealer per stage all the others are just there to buff or debuff you and the boss.
Thank you very much, That's very kind of you indeed. I'm pleased it has helped you out. I only made the video as I was suck on this fight for a long time and thought others might be to, however I never expected so many people would be stuck lol. 😁👍
Wow thank you. It blows me away that people have donated their hard earned money to me for making this video. It's really very kind of you to do that & It's very much appreciated. 😃
@@GGGx3 You are most welcome, thank you for the very thoughtful guidance and video. I hope there is enough for me to shout you a pint of beer in the UK. I referenced the the beer price in Glasgow. :D
Unbelievable tutorial. Thank you so much! I was stuck on this boss for a week or two and couldn't beat him. With normal strategies I had been able to beat the first boss but the second one was annihilating me every time. Using Temenos as the main damage dealer for phase 2 and Agnea Windy refrain to keep skipping the bosses turn was genius. I had most all of these items already but couldn't put all the strategies together. My wife thanks you too 😆 I put nearly 130 hours into this game. She will be glad to see it laid to rest
Thank you for this guide! it really help me out, my line up when I was in battle wasn't quite like yours due to my characters speed was all different so I had to be very caution and try to follow what you do but in a different order loll
Absolutely brilliant guide, thanks a mile, I was struggling versus the boss a lot but this strategy worked flawlessly. Did some octopuff/cait farming just to be sure and spent all my nuts onto hikari/temenos for good measure. Temenos was hitting 99999 with each tick lol.
It took a few tries as my Temenos was not strong enough but after leveling him up a bit more this guide worked like a charm. Thank you for putting this together for us.
Dude, thank you so so much for this. Been trying to fight this guy for over a week and have tried using other guides, but they all rely heavily on some form of RNG (Turn order or relying on Dreadwing beast move to 1HKO the arms), or requires finite materials (Reinforcing/Rejuvenating Jam) that I had 0 of by the time I made it to this boss. The way you've set this up where you can still follow it regardless of who starts first, and without multiple Battle-Tested weapons/job licenses/rare jams, is incredible. Took him down within an hour of watching your vid. Thanks again and good stuff👍👍
Hi, Yeah I had been trying for almost 3 weeks to beat this boss and I kept failing over and over. I looked at some of the guides online and they all kept using Hikari in phase two to defeat the boss, but it just did not work for me. I then tried Throne in the second phase and again I just could not do enough damage to the boss and it just wiped the floor with me. So I went through ever bit of gear I had and thought Temenos may have better nuke damage and thankfully it worked. Since each phase only needs one damage dealer it was easy to make it work no matter which character went first. 😀
Yeah it's a really tough fight, you get past the first phase only to be destroyed by the second stage lol. Well done on beating it, I do hope we get a third game as I think both 1 & 2 are awesome. 👍
Thanks so much. I had the same issue. For some reason though I had the giants club and my Hikaru is level 90, he needed 2 attacks to skip the elemental phase. So instead of defending, I attacked a second time with the fully boosted Lion’s Axe attack. Then I followed the rest of your instructions for the win. Your guide was the only one that worked for me.
The GOAT. I'm 140 hours into my play through, have done everything else, and was getting flashbacks to the 20 hours I spent to beat Galdera in the first game... So this was much appreciated, thank you!!
Thank you so much GGG for this guide, I followed your guide to the teeth and finally beat the boss at my second attempt. I failed for the first time because my attention slipped for a moment. The second time, there was also a bit of uncertainties as I messed up one or two steps, but I try to go back to the path you were leading and I won! I finally finished the boss that I have been putting off for a few months. This experience made me realise 1) brute force without strategy simply won't work in some cases 2) with the right strategy, you will will win without even being scratched 3) always seek guidance from others when you feel lost and confused and 4) keep calm and carry on when things go wrong, do not give up right away.
Yeah this boss was such a step up on all other fights in the game. When I first fought Galdera aka the boss I was so frustrated that I could not beat it after multiple attempts as the second phase constantly defeated me. I also looked for guides on RUclips but couldn't find anything that worked for me. So I sat down and tried to work out a strategy, based on what other people had done that worked for me & this is what seemed to work. I decided to make a guide because if I though it was difficult then I guessed a lot of other people would to. However I never expected this video to get as many views as it has lol.😂 Well done on beating the boss I hope you got your platinum trophy. 👍
Excellent guide. Wroked very well, thank you. My Hikari was slightly under leveled I guess. The wide Spear attack didn't clear all the arms the 2nd time for some reason. Luckily I was able to sneak in a Drafendi's bow attack from Ochette (instead of defending last round) and then Hikari finished the eye.
Thank you, frustrated to face this almighty boss, been searching for so many guide in yt and didn’t work untill I see your guide and voila IT WORKS! Finally can put my controller down and finish my last side quest 😊🙏🏻
Thank you for this guide! After trying many other methods and failing (usually on the second phase) this one finally got it. For anyone wondering, I had Temenos at level 67 and Hikari at 68 before starting the fight. But that said, I invested a few Magic Nuts on Temenos to get his Elem Atk up a bit higher, so that may have helped.
I attempted a similar strategy a few times before seeking help, I was using armasters Hikari and arcanist Temenos but I couldn't get past the first phase. You helped me out lots simply with Ochette summons, they honestly were the key! Thanks lots!
Thank you SOO MUCH for this walkthrough. I wanted to 100% the game but have been putting off fighting Galdera. Thanks to your video I was able to defeat the boss in one shot! Thank you!! 😁😁
Hey, I only played the game now, and I didn't have to use a guide for any other boss. That being said, I am really not good at the game and Galdera already traumatized me enough in Octopath 1, so I wasn't ever gonna go through that again in 2 without help. Thank you so much for relieving me of the trouble. I have to again stress I am really not good at these games, so your video was massively appreciated.
To be honest I was the same as you, the only boss that gave me any issues was this one. Hence the reason I made the guide as I thought it was such a jump in difficulty.
I'm so glad I found this. I struggled with this boss for almost 2 months straight!! I had mostly the same jobs on each of my characters, but I was initially trying to do basically the opposite teams for phase 1 and 2. Doing your strategy instead I had a much easier time. My characters were slightly less leveled than yours so on phase 2 I ended up needing 1 extra turn, having to use 3 forbidden potions and casting Sacred effulgence 3 times during the fight but still beat it almost as quickly
Thanks. That was a great help. I wouldn't do it without this guide. I just had to improvise a little in the first phase as the boss had elemental weaknesses too, but with Hired Help > Beastlings it did the job to remove shields.
Glad it helped and grats on the defeating Galdera. Yeah I did the guide to bypass the elemental phase as it becomes a tad more complicated to beat the boss, but nice work. 😃👍
Thank you so much for the easy to follow guide. I had to improv the first phase a bit as my Hikari was not strong enough to skip the elemental phase (lower level + accidentally sold Giant’s Club). Using a boosted “Beastling” Hired Help and a large soulstone let me break all the limbs again, then I tried my best to keep Hikari’s BP high so he could get off the max Warlord Spear swing again, defeating the limbs a second time. The second phase worked perfectly though; cool strategy and very satisfying to pull off. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this guide. This strategy is awesome… the usage of monsters’ capabilities is so smart and well prepared! I could kill this secret boss it on my third try. The trick on my side was to equip finisher claws on Hiraki instead of Temenos. Temenos used Fang of Ferocity. I then used all my attack/crit nuts on Hikari and all my elemental attack/SP nuts on Temenos to boost their stats. Nailed it. You’re the Octopath Traveler 2 legend… THANKS !!!
This guide really is as exact as possible when it comes to the stats, My temenos had 531 elemental attack compared to their 532 and it wasn't enough to destroy all the limbs.
Thank you so much for this awesome guide. It detailed everything perfectly. My first attempt my Temenos was quite where he needed to be so on the 2nd attempt when one was defending I fed Temenos some elemental atk boosting food and that did the trick it seemed
Nice one I'm glad you finally beat it. 👍 Yeah I'm guessing you can give Temenos attack food with a character that is defending, but you might need to be careful that it does not heal his health up as this may reduce the effect of Alpione's Amulet.
This was incredible. I beat Galdera in the first game on my own but this go around I couldn't get past the first round. This was exactly what I needed!
Most useful guide on how to defeat Galdera by far, thanks! My Hikari was not powerful as yours, so I made a couple of small adjustments, I cast another Axe of the Lionheart before the limbs regrew using one of Aelfric's bonus turns, and then I actually killed the first phase a turn later b/c I used an item to restore my SP. Overall, super useful!

Hi, Yeah I had been trying for almost 3 weeks to beat this boss and I kept failing over and over.
I looked at some of the guides online and they all kept using Hikari in phase two to defeat the boss, but it just did not work for me.
I then tried Throne in the second phase and again I just could not do enough damage to the boss and it just wiped the floor with me.
So I went through ever bit of gear I had and thought Temenos may have better nuke damage and thankfully it worked.
Since each phase only needs one damage dealer it was easy to make it work no matter which character went first. 😀
I spent 4-5 hours getting destroyed by Galdera and decided to follow your vid to the tee… beat it first try. Absolutely brilliant strategy.
Nice one. I'm glad you managed to beat it.

So instead of defending, I attacked a second time with the fully boosted Lion’s Axe attack. Then I followed the rest of your instructions for the win. Your guide was the only one that worked for me.
Nice one, I'm glad you beat it. 😄👍
Perfect guide! Thank you!
Glad it helped. 👍
The GOAT. I'm 140 hours into my play through, have done everything else, and was getting flashbacks to the 20 hours I spent to beat Galdera in the first game... So this was much appreciated, thank you!!
I'm glad it worked for you, So grats on beating Galdera. 👍
This is very helpful especially since I’ve already built my Hikari and Temenos similarly as damage dealers. Thank you for the guide
Glad it helped.
Man, best tutorial ever! Thank you very much! Finally i was able to beat this beast
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped.
Well done on beating the boss. 👍
YOUR the goat man. Happy holidays and thank you
Glad it helped.
Happy Christmas to you to. 🎅🎄
Amazing guide! Thank you pal!
Thanks, Glad you found it helpful.
For anybody wondering: this still works on PS5 as of November 30, 2025. I just beat the boss right now.
There is no reason it shouldn't work. 😁
Thank you so much GGG for this guide, I followed your guide to the teeth and finally beat the boss at my second attempt. I failed for the first time because my attention slipped for a moment. The second time, there was also a bit of uncertainties as I messed up one or two steps, but I try to go back to the path you were leading and I won! I finally finished the boss that I have been putting off for a few months. This experience made me realise 1) brute force without strategy simply won't work in some cases 2) with the right strategy, you will will win without even being scratched 3) always seek guidance from others when you feel lost and confused and 4) keep calm and carry on when things go wrong, do not give up right away.
Yeah this boss was such a step up on all other fights in the game.
When I first fought Galdera aka the boss I was so frustrated that I could not beat it after multiple attempts as the second phase constantly defeated me.
I also looked for guides on RUclips but couldn't find anything that worked for me.
So I sat down and tried to work out a strategy, based on what other people had done that worked for me & this is what seemed to work.
I decided to make a guide because if I though it was difficult then I guessed a lot of other people would to.
However I never expected this video to get as many views as it has lol.😂
Well done on beating the boss I hope you got your platinum trophy. 👍
Excellent guide. Wroked very well, thank you.
My Hikari was slightly under leveled I guess. The wide Spear attack didn't clear all the arms the 2nd time for some reason. Luckily I was able to sneak in a Drafendi's bow attack from Ochette (instead of defending last round) and then Hikari finished the eye.
I'm glad you managed to beat it.
Thank you, frustrated to face this almighty boss, been searching for so many guide in yt and didn’t work untill I see your guide and voila IT WORKS! Finally can put my controller down and finish my last side quest 😊🙏🏻
Nice one, I'm glad it worked for you.
Well done on beating it and hopefully getting the Platinum Trophy. 👍👏
You are a legend! Thank you so much for this!
You're welcome, I'm glad it worked for you.
I've tried multiple strats and this is the only one that worked!!
I'm pleased it worked for you. 👍
Thank you for this guide. I just beat Galdera 10 mins ago because of this. I made a few adjustments but everything worked out!
Great to hear, congrats on defeating it.
This helped me so much. I couldn't for the life of me beat this guy. Thank you!!
Nice one, I'm glad it helped you out and congratulations on beating the boss. 👍
Thank you for this guide! After trying many other methods and failing (usually on the second phase) this one finally got it. For anyone wondering, I had Temenos at level 67 and Hikari at 68 before starting the fight. But that said, I invested a few Magic Nuts on Temenos to get his Elem Atk up a bit higher, so that may have helped.
Nice one I'm glad it helped.
Well done on beating the most annoying boss in the game. 😃👍
Awesome game and great guide, tried it for almost a week without real progress after watching the video and some grinding did it with the third try.
Glad it helped and grats on beating the boss. 👍
I attempted a similar strategy a few times before seeking help, I was using armasters Hikari and arcanist Temenos but I couldn't get past the first phase. You helped me out lots simply with Ochette summons, they honestly were the key! Thanks lots!
Yeah Ochette is pretty important for the first phase.
Glad you beat it. 👍
Completed it & got my Platinum Trophy! Thanks so much for this guide!
Nice one, Grats on getting your Platinum. 🏆👍
Thank you so much. You made my day!
I finally beat him like couple of times. What a massive boss!
Awesome I'm glad you beat it.
Congratulations on getting it done, hopefully you can now obtain the Platinum trophy.
Thank you SOO MUCH for this walkthrough. I wanted to 100% the game but have been putting off fighting Galdera. Thanks to your video I was able to defeat the boss in one shot! Thank you!! 😁😁
Hi, I'm glad you found it useful and congratulations on getting the win and hopefully your Platinum Trophy.
Thank you, I love you for this guide!
Glad it helped. 👍
Thx buddy, I almost put the game down cause of this, I’m super glad you had our backs on this one, I really appreciate you very much.
Glad It helped, Well done on beating the boss.
Hey, I only played the game now, and I didn't have to use a guide for any other boss.
That being said, I am really not good at the game and Galdera already traumatized me enough in Octopath 1, so I wasn't ever gonna go through that again in 2 without help.
Thank you so much for relieving me of the trouble. I have to again stress I am really not good at these games, so your video was massively appreciated.
To be honest I was the same as you, the only boss that gave me any issues was this one.
Hence the reason I made the guide as I thought it was such a jump in difficulty.
I'm so glad I found this. I struggled with this boss for almost 2 months straight!! I had mostly the same jobs on each of my characters, but I was initially trying to do basically the opposite teams for phase 1 and 2. Doing your strategy instead I had a much easier time. My characters were slightly less leveled than yours so on phase 2 I ended up needing 1 extra turn, having to use 3 forbidden potions and casting Sacred effulgence 3 times during the fight but still beat it almost as quickly
Nice one, I'm glad it helped and well done on beating the most annoying boss in the game.
Thanks. That was a great help. I wouldn't do it without this guide. I just had to improvise a little in the first phase as the boss had elemental weaknesses too, but with Hired Help > Beastlings it did the job to remove shields.
Glad it helped and grats on the defeating Galdera.
Yeah I did the guide to bypass the elemental phase as it becomes a tad more complicated to beat the boss, but nice work. 😃👍
Thank you so much for the easy to follow guide. I had to improv the first phase a bit as my Hikari was not strong enough to skip the elemental phase (lower level + accidentally sold Giant’s Club). Using a boosted “Beastling” Hired Help and a large soulstone let me break all the limbs again, then I tried my best to keep Hikari’s BP high so he could get off the max Warlord Spear swing again, defeating the limbs a second time. The second phase worked perfectly though; cool strategy and very satisfying to pull off. Cheers!
Nice one I'm glad you managed to beat it. 👍
Thank you so much for this guide. This strategy is awesome… the usage of monsters’ capabilities is so smart and well prepared!
I could kill this secret boss it on my third try. The trick on my side was to equip finisher claws on Hiraki instead of Temenos. Temenos used Fang of Ferocity. I then used all my attack/crit nuts on Hikari and all my elemental attack/SP nuts on Temenos to boost their stats. Nailed it.
You’re the Octopath Traveler 2 legend… THANKS !!!
Really glad it helped and well done on beating it.
It's the most annoying boss in the game for me as the jump in difficulty was just nuts.
This guide really is as exact as possible when it comes to the stats, My temenos had 531 elemental attack compared to their 532 and it wasn't enough to destroy all the limbs.
Well I hope you managed to be it, as it is one annoying boss. 👍
Mine was 250 higher and I couldn't destroy all the limbs either.
Thank you very much. This guide is awesome.
Glad it helped you.
Beat him first try with this, didn't even need to follow turn for turn once I understood Ochette & Temenos' roles. Thanks so much
Nice one I'm glad you managed to defeat the boss. 👍
Amazing guide, worked like a charm on first try. Thank you!
You're welcome, I'm glad it worked for you. 👍
Thank you so much for this awesome guide. It detailed everything perfectly. My first attempt my Temenos was quite where he needed to be so on the 2nd attempt when one was defending I fed Temenos some elemental atk boosting food and that did the trick it seemed
Nice one I'm glad you finally beat it. 👍
Yeah I'm guessing you can give Temenos attack food with a character that is defending, but you might need to be careful that it does not heal his health up as this may reduce the effect of Alpione's Amulet.
@@GGGx3 it was an elemental attack and sp recovery. Was some sea food dish. Thank you again, subbed and liked :)
This was incredible. I beat Galdera in the first game on my own but this go around I couldn't get past the first round. This was exactly what I needed!
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Congrats on defeating the boss. 👍
Most useful guide on how to defeat Galdera by far, thanks! My Hikari was not powerful as yours, so I made a couple of small adjustments, I cast another Axe of the Lionheart before the limbs regrew using one of Aelfric's bonus turns, and then I actually killed the first phase a turn later b/c I used an item to restore my SP. Overall, super useful!
Hi and thanks.
I'm glad you found it useful.
Well done on beating the boss & hopefully you got your platinum achievement. 👍
Thank you for the guide. Well made, easy to follow.
You're welcome, congrats on beating the boss. 👍
This video really saved my jerky. Thanks!
With some minor deviations on Phase 1, but a smooth Phase 2
Nice one, I'm glad you beat it. 👍
This is an excellent guide on how to beat galdera. Temenos and Hikari were definitely op with this setup
Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful.
Yeah they are both pretty powerful with this particular build. 😃
