Simeon, the Puppet Master is an enemy in Octopath Traveler. He is the second phase of the battle with Simeon and the final boss of Primrose's Chapter 4 and her story.

Battle[]

Simeon will fight alone during the second phase of his boss battle. At 50% health, he will increase his actions per turn to 3.

He will begin battle with 6 shields (4 when fought at The Gate of Finis), but will increase them by 2 after recovering from a break, for a total of 10 shields (8 when fought at The Gate of Finis). He will also change weaknesses after recovering from a break, in the pattern shown above.

Simeon will begin with all but one weakness locked. After each break, he will unlock another weakness, with Dark (the only weakness present in all sets of weaknesses) being the last weakness to unlock.

During the latter half of the battle, Simeon will use Future Denied, which conceals the party's turn order for the rest of battle. Simeon's actions will still be visible, and the amount of actions each party member receives is unaffected.

Simeon is able to inflict silence on the entire party. It is recommended to bring an Apothecary and equip at least one party member with an Articulate Stone.

    • Master of Silence: Debuff. Inflicts Status Silence Silence on entire party. Also used the action immediately after Simeon recovers from a break, You can spot a crack in Simeon's defenses...


Strategy[]

  • Focus on breaking Simeon's shields with physical attacks, and save your BP to do so. Because he will always use Master of Silence after recovering during his battle, your party won't take damage as long as you break his shield before his next turn. You can also avoid being debilitated by Silence for several turns by casting Sealticge's Seduction on an Apothecary to buff the entire party with Rehabilitate. You can also avoid this silencing debilitation by equipping Tressa with the runelord class and an articulate stone, casting transfer rune, and then using rest
