Unlocking Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Secrets: 10 Essential Tips
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is captivating RPG fans, but its innovative systems leave some players in the dark. This article shines a light on 10 crucial tips to enhance your adventure.
Don't Skip the Prologue!
The prologue isn't just a tutorial; it's packed with valuable items and optional battles. Engage with NPCs and fight the mime near the shore—it's tough, but the rewards (including practice with vital counters and dodges) are worth it. Grab all three tokens from vendors to maximize your early game advantage. Remember, you can retry encounters until you succeed.
Rest Wisely
Resting at Expedition Flags fully heals your party, but it respawns enemies. Consider using Chroma Elixirs for healing without this drawback; their limited uses replenish with each rest. Flags also allow attribute allocation and fast travel (though not all are fast travel points).
Follow the Lights (or Stray from Them)
Confused about navigation? The main path is always well-lit. Explore optional areas by venturing into the unlit paths. This game rewards curiosity!
Mastering Luminas and Pictos
Pictos offer passive stat boosts and special combat benefits. Unlocking the benefit for your whole party requires four victories with a Pictos equipped, but activating it requires allocating Lumina Points in the Luminas menu. Strategically distribute these to maximize effectiveness, avoiding redundancy.
Gun Shots: When to Use and When Not To
Each bullet costs AP. Prioritize weak points. Empty clips only against flying/floating enemies who evade melee attacks. However, guns excel at quickly eliminating enemy shields!
Breaking Shields and Enemies
Shields absorb hits. Use status effects (like burn) or multi-hit skills to break them. Gustave's Lumiere Assault is a powerful option. Watch for the yellow meter under enemy health bars; fill it to use Break skills for stunning and increased damage. Mastering Breaks is essential for optional mime battles.
Conquer Optional Bosses for Rewards
Optional bosses yield fantastic loot, including powerful weapons and Pictos. Strategically engage or avoid them based on your party's strength. Some loot might be accessible without battle, though proceed cautiously!
Help the Nevrons
Not all Nevrons are foes. Assist white-painted ones by finding specific items for them. This often leads to additional rewards and resources.
Weapon Upgrades Arrive Later
Hold onto your resources—Colours of Lumina and Chroma Catalysts have their uses, but unlock later in the game.
Experience Clair Obscur's Stellar Voice Cast
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 boasts a remarkable cast including Charlie Cox (Daredevil), Andy Serkis, and Jennifer English (Baldur's Gate 3). Their performances elevate the already compelling narrative and characters.
