Encounters
Big Joe can be seen/encountered during the bandits attempt take the Flora Lake area as ransom to purge money from Flora Town. The player is able to fight him briefly until he makes a daring escape by swimming away from the scene when more bandits overwhelm the player. Off-Screen it is said that he had a scuffle with a man named Cole, afterwards the remaining bandits rushed off, fleeing from the fight.
The second encounter is optional for the player to trigger, where Joe can be found in a room after breaking the locks within the Strong Hold. He will appear in both events, whereas he kills Cole, the other being him escaping the StrongHold before the player faces with Dasum. After the events, the player is told Big Joe was almost captured and with the arrest of Dasum, Big Joe could be planning to take over as Dasum's successor.
