- "I... am the Bestower of All. Peace. Happiness... Even desire... I provide them all." —Before confronting the Ringbearer Chosen
The Bestower of All is an enemy in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. A singularity, fusion of Sazantos and his sword Fisteralda (imbued with Finis' ashes) with Orsa and the Divine Rings, serving as the final boss of Bestower of All arc and the Side Orsterra storyline.
Story[]
After Sazantos' defeat, the latter expressed he wasn't ready to die yet. His now demonic sword Fisteralda, granting his dying wish, absorbed him alongside Orsa and the seven rings, merging into a new, otherworldly form.[1] It points out Sazantos' hypocrisy of wanting to create a greedless world while he was drowning in greed. Naming itself "Bestower of All", it claims it will grant mankind's boundless wishes before battling the Ringbearer Chosen.

Trivia[]
- Alongside Galdera and Vide, the Bestower of All is one of three characters who lacks an overworld spritesheet, instead being directly represented through particle and 3D effects (in the Bestower of All's case, eight orbs—the seven rings and Sazantos—moving in a circular orbit). All three of these characters are forces beyond human comprehension and serve as the final bosses of their respective games.
- While the final bosses of the main games are masterminds and causes of many of the events in their games, Bestower of All is born as consequence of Sazantos' greedy actions.
- The Bestower of All is the second entity who self-proclaims as "it," with Finis being the first one using it on himself.
- Its battle background is an endless void, which fits with the main theme of the game: mankind's greed being a bottomless abyss.
- In the first four phases, the "wind" in the background is moving towards the Chosen One, which can be interpreted as the odds being against them. This changes in the last phase, where the wind comes from the traveler's side instead.
- The Bestower of All's defeat animation is exploding in several rays of light before turning the screen white. This animation would be later used for Side Solistia final bosses.
- "The power of the rings and the thoughts of Sazantos. The result of the fusion of the demon blade Fisteralda and Orsa. Fisteralda is a demon blade refined with the ashes of Finis, so it's depicted as an extraordinaire being who combines both the Mother of All and the Father of All's existences."[2]
