I picked up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and I have to say it is probably the best JRPG style game I played in 2 decades. I have not finished it so I guess things can change but so far the story is amazing, the characters are amazing, the music is amazing and the game mechanics are amazing and super fun!
I would say this is a must have game for any RPG fans out there!
I wanted to steam the game but alas my internet connects decided otherwise. So I thought I would try something new and record boss fights and post them to make a sort of boss guide.
First few hours of the game on Stream
Boss Fight in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
I’m going to break this up into two types. Story bosses and optional bosses. The story bosses are the ones you have to fight to continue the story and the optional bosses are of course optional and can be skipped.
Spring Meadows – Eveque
This is the first story boss you will run into. There are two other optional bosses before this. A Mime and something else. I’m still learning how dodge good at this point. I noticed if I focus o the sound of the attacks that helped.
Flying Waters
Bourgeon
This is an optional boss and the video can be found at time stamp 2:10:35 on my day 2 stream video above. This one checked me when it ate Maelle and took her out of the fight.
Chromatic Troubadour
Chromatic Troubadour is an optional boss in the Flying Waters region. But its worth attempting it because you get the most powerful Luna weapon at this point in the game. This one hits hard so avoiding attacks is a must.
Goblu
This is the second story boss it looks like. I felt like it was fairly easy. But I had just fought the Chromatic Troubadour right before this and it hit a lot harder. I heard of you don’t take care of the flowers they turn into some kind of shield. I’m not sure I just seen them and assumed it was bad so I took them out as fast as I could.
Ancient Sanctuary
Robust Sakapatate
This did not really feel like a boss to maybe. Maybe a mini boss? But I would say its a story boss because you have to fight it to continue in the game. It’s week to fire and resistant to lightning.
Ancient Sanctuary Mime
This is an optional boss and its the same as other Mime I seen so far. So nothing special here.
Ultimate Sakapatate
The last story boss in Ancient Sanctuary. This was a fun fight. It’s week to fire, resistant to lightning, and it has an attack you have to jump to avoid.
Gestral Village – Arena Battles
This was fun. I used Maelle because I was thinking she would be strong solo. The battle rewards a weapon to whoever you use in the last round.
Esquie’s Nest
I really liked Esquie and François here so I recorded more then just the François boss fight.
Stone Wave Cliffs – Lampmaster
Major spoiler after this fight.
Abbest Cave – Chromatic Abbest
Yellow Harvest – Glaise
Forgotten Battlefield
Chromatic Luster
This was a hard fight for me. I use a lot of fire damage and fire healed this boss. So I had to change tactics quickly.
Dualliste
Monoco’s Station – Monoco
I like Monoco. He is entertaining to listen to like Esquie.
Old Lumiere – Renoir
Spoiler Alert: A lot happens here so I keep the video going for a while after the fight.
Visages
Falling Leaves – Scavenger
This fight took a little longer then it should have. I ran into a bug that was giving me unlimited turns and I played with that for a bit so that I could record it in an attempt to send it to the developers. I’m not sure how to contact them so I sent them a message on X. I guess we will see if they reply. https://x.com/sysjoltcom/status/1948838386632196271
