Changes I’d Make To Ochette’s Story
The following contains massive spoilers for Octopath Traveler 2. Proceed at your own risk.
Long ago, a mighty beast rose from the blackest depths of the ocean: the Darkblood Beast. The creature, fueled by malice and hate, set its furious gaze upon the island of Toto’Haha. From its tainted flesh, monsters descended upon the isle, threatening to snuff out all life that dwelt there.
Destruction seemed certain, until three legendary creatures from the distance corners of Solistia emerged. Glacis, Guardian of the Skies... Tera, Guardian of the Land... Cateracta, Guardian of the Seas...
The three guardians quelled the tide of monsters and repelled the Darkblood Beast, before returning from whence they came. Thus, the island was saved, and calamity averted...
We’re getting rid of the Night of the Scarlet Moon. The calamity will instead be replaced by the Darkblood Beast.
The Darkblood Beast was a creature twisted by Vide’s influence, whose hatred could manifest as monsters.
The Three Guardians were created by the gods(?)
The Darkblood Weapons were created from the remains of the Darkblood Beast(?)
Petrichor, the Dark Hunter, wants to create another Darkblood Beast from the captured Malamaowl/Lajackal.
Roi was actually the first attempt; Petrichor wanted to use his broken faith in the church as a basis, but his morals proved too strong and so he was an imperfect Darkblood Beast.
Cateracta’s chapter can remain more-or-less the same, but rather than fighting Alpione, Ochette befriends her with meat. Also we can remove the preachy bit of Alpione rambling about the greed of men, since it was the Dark Hunter who felled Cateracta.
In Tera’s chapter, I think the humans actually should be a little more openly hostile towards Ochette. Crackridge is home to a number of Moonshade cutlists, as shown in Temenos’s story.
Pom can be a guard whose entire purpose is guarding the entrance to Tera’s layer. However, after being provoked by Ochette, he easily concedes due to not being a fan of fighting. Upon learning that Ochette plans to take Tera away, he resigns his post with the goal of becoming a farmer instead.
No one is really guarding Glacis’s peak anymore, since the blizzards would make it perilous to traverse anyway.
Heig was not a part of the original hunt for Glacis, though his nephew was.
Heig still wants revenge for the death of his nephew, though he didn’t know about the broken eggs.
Once Ochette saves Heig and calms Glacis, the two makes amends. The old hunter and the sacred beast come to a mutual understanding over the fact that they’ve both lost kin, and choose to set their grudges aside.
Ochette befriends Heig with jerky in the shack, after which he tells her about his nephew being recruited by the Dar Hunter.
Ochette returns to the island with the three sacred beasts in tow. At first, the people of Cohazeh’s village are wary of the monsters, as well as the fact that the Beastlings seem to be preparing for battle. Just as tensions begin to escalate between Beastlings and humans, however, new abominations appear, attacking both sides.
Humans and Beastlings are forced to fight together as monsters swarm the island. Juvah deduces that this must be the work of the Darkblood Beast.
Ochette, Juvah and the Guardian Beasts fight their way through the swarm. Along the way, Alpione, Heig, and even Pom arrive to lend a helping hand. They ventured to the island to help fight the coming calamity that Ochette told them about.
Ochette finds the Darkblood Beast deep within the jungle, and is horrified to find that it resembles the Lajackal/Malamaowl that she didn’t choose so many years ago.
Glacis and Tera note that this creature is different from the Darkblood Beast they fought long ago, but are repelled by arrows fired from the shadows.
The Dark Hunter appears, revealing her name to be Petrichor. She explains that this is indeed a new Darkblood Beast, born from nurturing the hatred and contempt in a rare beast she found long ago.
Ochette questions Petrichor’s motives, but the Dark Hunter only states that violence and cruelty is the natural state of all living creatures. Ochette provokes Petrichor into a battle to prove her wrong, and the two set all their beastly companions upon each other.
Petrichor is defeated, but the Darkblood Beast is not. Urged on by its maker, the Darkblood Beast devours Petrichor, consuming her strength and acquiring a new, more ferocious form before knocking Ochette into the ocean.
From there the finale more-or-less plays out the same.

Crick Wellsley, Osvald V. Vanstein, and Pirro from Octopath Traveler II here!! Looking for pretty much any Octopath Traveler kins (so that includes other Octopath games, but ot2 is preferred) except Hikari as I already have one, and I definitely don't wish to speak to Harvey, Captain Kaldena, Deputy Cubaryi, "Mother," or "Father."
Doubles for any of my kins are encouraged to interact. I'm 21, so no one under 18 please.
Reblog or comment with your kins in the tags/body text. I will not respond to likes, I've encountered people in the past who liked previous kin calls I've sent without knowing what they were, for whatever reason. (In other words. Not the people I was looking for.)
Anyways, looking forward to hearing from you!!
