Throné - Chapter 3: Mother’s Route - Octopath Traveler II Guide - IGN (2024)

Throné’s Chapter 3 story in Octopath Traveler 2 is split between Mother and Father routes, just like in Chapter 2. It’s time to confront the two leaders of the Blacksnakes, and in this route, we’re going after Mother. This walkthrough will take you through Mother’s base in Wellgrove as Throné tries to reclaim a piece of her freedom.

Wellgrove

You’ll need a nun’s habit to infiltrate Mother’s Garden – a training area for Blacknakes that’s disguised as an orphanage. Steal a habit from the nun near the Save Point in the middle of town.

Throné will notice a child pickpocket who may be one of the children being raised as a Blacksnake. Follow them by heading south toward the Road to Mother’s Garden.

Road to Mother’s Garden

This is a Danger Level 30 area that leads to your main destination. A number of monsters here are weak to Bow and Light damage, so you can bring Ochette and Temenos to deal with them. There are also a few hidden paths here, so follow the map below to avoid missing out on chests.

Mother’s Garden: Orphanage

When you arrive, you’ll see the orphan pickpocket from earlier, Mira, as she becomes a Blacksnake. After the scene, you’ll need to find a way to get to Mother. Walk up the stairs on the left side of the room and approach the quest marker to trigger another scene with Mira.

Walk back downstairs to steal the key to Mother’s room from Morozov, then approach the door at the end of the hall to enter Mother’s Garden.

Mother’s Garden

Mother’s Garden is a Danger Level 31 zone, so it’s a bit tougher than the road you took to get here. The monsters won’t change very much, so your current team should still work if you can target Light and Bow weaknesses.

Boss Battle: Mother

Mother won’t be alone in this fight, so it’s best to take out her aide first to get rid of extra worries. Mother uses various physical attacks and loves to inflict the Terror status, which prevents you from gaining BP.

Equip the Calming Stone that you found in Mother’s Garden to make one party member immune to Terror.

Mother and her aide don’t have any weaknesses in common, so you’ll need to endure Mother’s attacks for a little while as you take down the aide – there’s no way to break them both at once unless you split up your party’s attacks/targets.

However, even if only Throné attacks Mother, you’ll be able to use her HP Steal Dagger attack to hit twice per turn and break Mother’s shields while the others focus on the aide.

Near the end of the fight, Mother reveals that Tap to Reveal before she was murdered. And after the fight, you’ll get to see a flashback showing Mother’s betrayal.

Throné will finally kill Mother to end this chapter, which leaves only Father in Montwise. His route is also Level 31, so you should be able to complete it right away.
