Octopath Traveler 2 armsmaster rusty weapons locations

ArmsmasterOne of two secrets jobs is in Octopath Traveler 2To unlock these skills, you will need to gather items. Notably, you’ll need to grab Rusty WeaponsA blacksmith can reforge you. This job is highly sought-after, as it allows you to strike really hard and do lots of damage.

For them to use the appropriate skill, they must have these weapons equipped. For example, if you don’t have the Dancer’s Blade equipped, you cannot use the dagger skill.

Most of these weapons are just hanging out in chests, but a few of them are being protected by big boss enemies that you’ll have to defeat in order to get the weapon. If there’s a dungeon that isn’t used in the game’s story, there’s very likely a rusty weapon in there, guarded by a boss.

Like the inventor’s items, your character will also have to be able to take NPC items and knock down NPCs. Again, we recommend Agnea and Throné.

We have listed below where you can find rusty weapons, and what boss weaknesses are related.


Rusty Sword (Conqueror’s Sword) location

First, you’ll need to nab a Sturdy pickaxeFrom a former Orerush miner. These can be found in the weapons shop.
