Main Walkthrough

The largest kingdom of the Leaflands, Timberain is also your final destination when exploring the forests of Agnea's home region. Castti's story wraps up in Timberain, and there are a bunch of Side Stories and important items to complete and collect if you pay the city a visit. 

Timberain is located in the northwest of the Leaflands. The distance to Timberain from Cropdale and Wellgrove is roughly equal, regardless of where you start. Make your way to the Northern Wellgrove Trail, then continue west to reach Timberain.

Exits

  • In the south of Timberain is the exit to the Southern Timberain Trail, the route you used to reach the city in the first place. 
  • In the north of Timberain you'll find the entrance to Timberain Castle, a Danger Level 45 dungeon that serves as the setting for Castti's final chapter. To reenter Timberain Castle later you'll need to knock the Soldier out front unconscious.

Services

Timberain offers the usual array of shops found in Octopath Traveler II's towns, with a Tavern in the east and an Armorer, Provisioner, and Inn in the west.

Treasure

  • There's a ladder to the east of Timberain's courthouse, in the northeast of the city. At the bottom is a dock. Canoe to the next dock, a short distance away, to get at a chest containing a Protective Necklace.
  • To the left of the entrance to Timberain Castle, in the Town Square, is a chest containing a Wind Soulstone (L).
  • On the west side of the Town Square you'll find an Elderly Soldier guarding a door. If you can defeat the man you'll find him guarding a small storehouse. Check the right side of the storehouse to find a hidden passage leading far to the east. At the end of the passage is a chest containing the Rusty Polearm, one of the items needed to fully equip the Armsmaster Job.
