Once all the coating is gone, stick it in a big pot of boiling water. Watch it until it stops curling, then count to 30 (usually around 5 minutes, but differs with size) - then turn the heat off and let it sit for about 3 minutes.

We usually steam ours though, it preserves the flavor better in my opinion. But unless you have a good steamer that lets you dangle the octopus, it might be hard to do.
and that is my lesson for today >.>''

In the shadows beneath the trees he waits.
In the darkness under the moon he plots
In the silence of the night he kills.
