One of the best additions thatOctopath Traveler 2makes over its predecessor is that of Crossed Paths. These are short extra chapters that involve two of the travelers teaming up for their own, smaller adventures. There are four Crossed Paths in the game to pursue, and they must all be complete if you want to unlock the true ending of the game.

One of these Crossed Paths involves Osvald, the Scholar, and Partitio, the Merchant. As you might expect, going by their personal stories, this Crossed Path involves technological revolution and physical violence.
Part 1: New Delsta
Thanks to the recommended level of only eight for this section, you can rest assured that this section of Osvald and Partitio’s story will not be very challenging.
Head to New Delsta and begin the Crossed Path story. After the cutscene, in which you meet Regulus, head to the Tavern, which is up the stairs near you. During the cutscene, you’ll learn that you need ametalworking tool, a mirror, and a precision lensfor Regulus’s telescope. Regulus gives you 600 leaves for this, but you’ll need to supply your own money in the end.
The table below details the items and their owners. You’ll need to find them in New Delsta andpurchase the items using Partitio’s Path Action.
250 leaves
200 leaves
Precision Lens
The Woman in the street between the weapon and item shops.
300 leaves
Once you have those items, bring them to Regulus, who can be found in front of the theater. Hand him the items and this part of the Crossed Path will end. You’ll unlock the next part after completing Osvald and Partitio’s stories.
Part 2: Montwise
Head to Montwise and begin the second half of this Crossed Path. When you regain control, you’ll be inMontwise Library. Head to the right and up the steps to findRegulus’s laboratory.
After the scene, you’ll be in Montwise proper.Head to the house to the right of the libraryand confront the three men standing outside. You’ll be thrust into a fight.

Olive of Life (M)
This battle is very easy - none of the Thugs pose a threat and they don’t take long to beat down. Osvald’sLightningattacks should make short work of them.
After the battle, head inside the house. A short cutscene will play out, and you’ll be thrust into another very easy battle.

Spears, Axes, Staves, Light
Healing Grape (M)
In addition to the Thug Leader, you’ll be up against aThug I and a Thug II, identical to those from the previous fight. Again, this should be a quick one.
After the fight, the last thing to do is toMug the Moneylender with Osvald’s Path Action. The Moneylender can inflict nasty status ailments, like Poison, but is another easy battle to cope with. Hisweakness to Lightningis easily exploited by Osvald. With that done, you’ll recover the Improved Telescope. After a few scenes, the Crossed Path ends.
