Therion: Characters

Learn how to effectively use Therion's unique abilities, Steal and Pick Lock, in Octopath Traveler. Get tips on pilfering items and opening chests to maximize your loot and progress.

Alright, let's talk about Therion! He's got two really cool abilities that can get you some sweet loot if you use 'em right: Steal and Pick Lock.

First up is Steal. This is Therion's Path Action, and it lets you snatch items right from NPCs in towns. The best part? It's totally free! Just keep in mind it's a bit of a rogue move, and there's a percentage chance it'll work. If you mess up and fail a steal, your reputation in that town will take a hit. Also, some items just can't be stolen this way – you might need Tressa's 'Purchase' for those.

Then there's his Talent, Pick Lock. This is how you open up those locked chests you'll see scattered around, the ones that are colored purple. You absolutely need Therion in your active party to use this; otherwise, you'll just get a message saying you don't have anyone who can do it. These chests usually hide some really good equipment, so they're definitely worth going back for, even if it means a bit of backtracking.
