  "textContent": "Octowpus is a common Anomaly in Neverness to Everness (NTE) that appears across three Anomaly Commissions tied to a recurring \"octopus trailer/truck\" event in the open world. It is hunted under the Bureau's Anomagram system, scales to the player's Hunter Level, and rewards a fixed bundle of materials on first clear.\n\n**Quick answer:** Octowpus shows up in three commissions across different districts: _Invasion! Octopus Trailer!_ in Unheard Shores, _Shadow of Whitetail Tree Circle Mountain Highway_ in Miguel District, and _Ghost Boulevard Wild Rally_ in New Herland District. Each clear pays out 160 Hunter EXP, 20 Annulith, 8,000 Fons, 80 Bronze Carrota, 15 U-00NE, 4,000 Beetle Coins, and 3 Anomaly Material Selection Box I. None of the three drop a weapon Arc.\n\nImage credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@OnGame MultiGaming)__\n\n* * *\n\n### What Octowpus is in Neverness to Everness\n\nOctowpus is classified as a common (non‑High‑Risk) Anomaly. The encounter is built around a mobile octopus‑themed truck/trailer that has to be tracked down and resolved in the field. Like every common Anomaly in NTE, the fight scales to your current Hunter Level, so the commission can be cleared at any point after it appears in your Anomagram.\n\nOctowpus does not have a High‑Risk variant in the current commission list, which means there is no replayable boss‑level version with elevated rewards. The only payouts come from the three first‑clear commissions tied to the anomaly.\n\n* * *\n\n### All Octowpus commission locations\n\nThe same anomaly type drives three separate commissions. Each is found in its own district and is opened from the Anomagram on the World Map.\n\nCommission| District| Anomaly| Arc Drop\n---|---|---|---\nInvasion! Octopus Trailer!| Unheard Shores| Octowpus| None\nShadow of Whitetail Tree Circle Mountain Highway| Miguel District| Octowpus| None\nGhost Boulevard Wild Rally| New Herland District| Octowpus| None\n\nTo start any of them, open the World Map, switch to the Anomagram tab, and select the commission to mark its rough location. Travel into that area and the trigger point appears in the world without further pre‑requisites.\n\nImage credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@OnGame MultiGaming)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Rewards per Octowpus commission\n\nAll three Octowpus commissions share the same reward template. Clearing all three nets triple the values shown below. There is no Arc weapon attached to any of them, so they are not priority targets if you are farming S‑rank weapons.\n\nReward| Per clear| All three combined\n---|---|---\nHunter EXP| 160| 480\nAnnulith| 20| 60\nFons| 8,000| 24,000\nBronze Carrota| 80| 240\nU-00NE| 15| 45\nBeetle Coins| 4,000| 12,000\nAnomaly Material Selection Box I| 3| 9\n\n****Tip:**** The Anomaly Material Selection Box I is the most useful drop here, since it lets you pick the specific anomaly material you need rather than relying on RNG drops from the world.\n\n* * *\n\n### How to clear an Octowpus commission\n\n**Step 1:** Open the World Map and switch to the Anomagram. Select the Octowpus commission for the district you are in (Unheard Shores, Miguel District, or New Herland District) so the marker is pinned.\n\n**Step 2:** Fast travel to the closest waypoint and move into the marked area. The octopus trailer/truck is the visible trigger object in the world; approach it to start the encounter.\n\n**Step 3:** Resolve the encounter against Octowpus. Because the fight scales to your Hunter Level, any properly built party that handles standard field combat in the same district will work; there is no fixed level wall.\n\n**Step 4:** Confirm completion. The commission is finished when the Anomagram entry switches to a cleared state, and the reward bundle (Hunter EXP, Annulith, Fons, Bronze Carrota, U-00NE, Beetle Coins, Anomaly Material Selection Box I) lands in your inventory.\n\nImage credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@OnGame MultiGaming)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Notes on prioritization\n\nIf you are early in the game and short on Annulith or Hunter EXP, the three Octowpus commissions together are a clean source of 480 Hunter EXP and 60 Annulith with no level gating. They are also useful for stockpiling Anomaly Material Selection Box I for character ascension materials.\n\nIf your goal is weapons, the Octowpus commissions can be deprioritized. Arc weapon drops in NTE come from commissions like Ride Assault (Raging Flames), Rhythm Master (Blow up the Crowd), and Deep Blue Sorrow (Song of the Whale), none of which involve the Octowpus anomaly.\n\nThe reward is a one‑time payout per commission, so once all three are cleared the Octowpus chapter of the Anomagram is fully closed unless a future patch adds a High‑Risk version.",
