Main Walkthrough

A silver-mining town in the south of the Wildlands, Oresrush is the closest you'll get to visiting the Old West in Octopath Traveler II. The home of Partitio, as well as the starting point of his journey, Oresrush serves as a waypoint as you make your way into the Leaflands, as well as further north into the Wildlands. It's not the most important town in the game, but you'll likely visit Oresrush a number of times.

Oresrush is located in the south of the Wildlands, part of a segment of the area that's by itself. If you're playing as Castti or Hikari you'll likely pass through Oresrush early in the game. Agnea is also relatively close.

Exits

  • In the south of Oresrush you'll find the Southern Oresrush Wilds, the connecting route between Hinouema and the Leaflands. 
  • On the east side of Oresrush is the Abandoned Silver Mine. Partitio will need to travel through this area a few times during his introductory chapter. Giff's Manse is at the end of the trail.
Services

Oresrush is a standard town, with an Inn and Provisioner on the main street and a Tavern and Armorer in the northeast.


Treasure
  • Inside Partitio's home, on the west side of Oresrush, you'll find a chest containing a Light Coin Pouch. The chest is inside Papp's office on the ground floor.

In addition to the NPCs listed above you'll find Roque, from Partitio's story, standing near Partitio's home once you complete his storyline. Roque is carrying a Silver Coin and a Battle-Tested Staff. You want this Staff, more than just about anything else in Oresrush.

(There were also a bunch of people inside the Foundry during Throné's storyline, but they vacate after her chapter is complete. I'm honestly not sure if they had any items on them or not. Check them all before you finish the chapter.)

  • You'll find Joe, one of Partitio's buddies, near the Provisioner's shop. He'll give you the Wanted: A Good Joke Side Story.
