The Octopath Traveler 2 Ancient Necklace accessory can be helpful in boosting your stats in the early game. While it may not be the most exciting item to equip in Octopath Traveler 2, you should take any stat boosts that you can get when your characters are at low levels.

If you are wondering how to get the Ancient Necklace though, all you need to do is read the rest of this guide below for all of the details, including its stats and effects.

How can you get the Ancient Necklace?

The first place that you will likely find the Ancient Necklace is within the Underground Passage of Frigit Isle Prison in Osvald's first chapter. Head down to the second floor once you reach the Underground Passage, and there should be a standard chest with the item waiting for you inside.

It is very helpful within this first chapter, as its boosts should help you take down some of the tougher enemies in this area - especially considering that you're all on your lonesome.

It can also be found later on in the game, across various chests and armoury stores. However, it will likely not be much use beyond the early game, as its stats are quickly overtaken by other more impressive pieces of equipment.

Equipping the Ancient Necklace will give a 30 HP and 10 SP boost to your character. While this will quickly become rather insignificant the more that you progress through the game, it can make a big difference in the early stages where you have far less HP.

Furthermore, SP boosts for magic-based characters like Osvald are always going to be welcome, as you need to ensure that you've always got juice in the tank to make the most of your powerful abilities.
