With the latest update for Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent, 12BET Mobile notes that Lionel and H’aanit have arrived, while several older progression concerns have returned to the spotlight. The most frequently discussed issue is Advanced Hunts. To get straight to the point, players should clear their first Advanced Hunt as early as possible. Once the initial level 66 difficulty battle is cleared even once, the system begins granting one Advanced Hunt attempt per day automatically.

That first clear works like a start button, and daily hunt attempts begin accumulating from that day forward. If players never clear it, the count never begins. Many 12BET Mobile users may find Advanced Hunts difficult at first, but once the opening battle is overcome, they can spend the next six days preparing more cautiously while attempts build up. Since up to seven attempts can be stored, players can focus on leveling characters and upgrading equipment before trying again, making the next clear much easier. Normal Hunts can be skipped automatically, but Advanced Hunts are better played manually because certain achievements are tied to manual clears.

For higher-difficulty Hunts, five-star characters should be used as much as possible. Gold Guidestones are especially hard to obtain, so players should avoid wasting them on four-star characters. Advanced Hunts can also drop the Sacred Seal, a key item used to evolve 4.5-star characters into full five-star units. Even when players purchase extra Hunt attempts with rubies, Sacred Seals do not appear easily, but consistent players have reported real success over time.

Progress then leads into the Nameless Town content, where players must carefully choose the order in which buildings are unlocked due to the shortage of Memory Shards. The basic rule is to unlock first and upgrade later. In particular, upgrades should be delayed until the tavern becomes available. On Basement Floor 1 of the Tower of Remembrance, players can read books, and tapping bookshelves with exclamation marks grants 30 shards per book. There are roughly eight books in total, and each takes less than a minute to collect, so they should not be ignored.

At the NPC exchange inside the tavern, several items can be traded for 300 shards, and since all three require shards, the best choice depends on each player’s situation. Influence level is also very important because it directly affects negotiation success rates. Three-star characters should be raised to at least level 45, while four-star characters should reach level 65. Z’aanta is also often described as an essential character, and once fully awakened to level four, he becomes a key unit in repetitive content such as Caits farming.

When used with a fourth-awakening accessory, he becomes part of a core auto-battle mechanism. Against most monsters before Main Story Chapter 1 and before arena boss battles, this setup is efficient enough to clear many fights within one to three turns. In manual skill settings, passive skill activation can be adjusted from the lower menu, while equipment requires attention not only to stats and attributes but also to the blue bar known as grade. However, this does not become especially sensitive until the Bestower of All version arrives.

The currently upgradeable Innocent series is slightly stronger than the Battle-Tested series, but its value compared with the investment required is relatively low. It may be wiser to buy stronger equipment from the weapon shop once the Bestower of All version opens. By the end of Arena Season 1, many 12BET Mobile users had already cleared the content, and the main strategy involved placing Z’aanta in the front row to draw enemy targeting while protecting damage dealers. As the saying goes, if you cannot jump from the first floor to the third, take the stairs; with steady progress and well-timed healing, this challenge is absolutely within reach.
