Here's everything you need to know about how to distribute your Attribute Points in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Side Quest Achievements / Trophies

These are awarded for completing optional objectives and finding collectibles throughout the game.

Achievement/Trophy

Requirements

Tip(s)

A Peculiar Encounter

Defeat the Mime during the Prologue.

Look for the Mime in an alcove off ofthe market square. You'll need to parry its attacks until Gustave can break its wall with an Overcharge.

Curious

Witness any optional scene at camp.

Go to the campfire and choose "Check up on the others."

Paint Cage

Open any Paint Cage

All Paint Cages have three locks that you need to shoot. Look for areas of distortion nearby. Sometimes they're hidden around corners or inside breakables.

Connoisseur

Find every Music Record.

There are 33 in total.

Lost Gestrals

Find every Lost Gestral.

There are 9 in total, and all of them are on the Continent Map.

Follow The Trail

Find every Journal.

Most areas have multiple Journals, so explore thoroughly.

Carreau Parfait

Defeat the Chromatic Petank.

The Chromatic Petank is in the large forest near the southeast corner of the Continent Map. You can only get there by flying, restricting this award to Act 3. Chase it south, across the sea, and along the opposite coast to corner it at the magnet at the far end of the trail.

Aiding The Enemy

Help all the White Nevrons.

Blanche, the final White Nevron, attacks you if you've killed any White Nevrons, including the one that asks to die. Be sure to spare all of them.

Gestral Games

Win all the Gestral Games.

Visit every Gestral Beach and Arena throughout the world.

Sprong

Defeat Sprong.

Sprong is the giant monster in the ocean; you'll see it long before you're strong enough to fight it, so come back in Act 3 before trying to bring it down.

A On

Defeat Serpenphare.

Serpenphare is the flying serpent over the first island. You can't reach it until you gain the ability to fly in Act 3, but even then you'll want to level up before trying to fight it.

Endless

Complete the Endless Tower.

You'll need to have mastered fighting every type of Nevron. You get as many attempts as you need at each trial, though, and heal between fights.

Clea

Defeat Clea.

Clea is in the Flying Manor northwest of Forgotten Battlefield. She's very tough, so don't try to fight her until you're at least Level 80.

Peace At Last

Defeat Simon

Simon is in the Abyss below Renoir's Drafts, the undersea caves that you can reach once Esquie learns to dive. He is the hardest boss in the game.

Combat Achievements / Trophies

These are awarded for specific feats during combat, usually requiring mastery of each character's fighting styles.

Achievement/Trophy

Requirements

Tip(s)

Professional

Win a boss fight without any character taking damage.

Parry or dodge every attack, strike aggressively to defeat the boss as quickly as possible, and use Shields to prevent damage.

Time To Spill Some Ink

Break an enemy.

You need to use a Breaking Attack like Overcharge or Fleuret Fury on an enemy whose Meter is full - just any attack won't do.

Overcharge

Have Gustave Break an enemy with Overcharge while his meter is at 10.

You can get Time To Spill Some Ink at the same time, as early as the Mime fight in Lumiere to also get A Peculiar Encounter.

Perfect Flow

Have Lune empower spells with Stains four turns in a row.

Set up her Skills to generate Stains that will feed the next one; when in doubt, Light Stains are wild.

Synergy

Have Maelle use Percee in Virtuose Stance against a Marked enemy.

Swift Stride is the easiest way to get into Virtuose Stance for most of the game.

Maximization

Have Sciel consume 20 stacks of Foretell from an enemy during Twilight.

The Foretell doesn't have to have been applied during the same Twilight. Use Moon Skills that consume all the Foretell on their target in one go rather than one at a time.

Perfection

Have Verso reach Perfection Rank S.

Using Assault Zero repeatedly with Gaulteram equipped is the fastest and safest way to get to S, unless you're very confident in your parrying abilities.

Wheel Control

Have Monoco use Skill that match the Mask on his Bestial Wheel four turns in a row.

Be sure that Monoco is equipped with at least one Skill for each Mask, ideally cheap ones so that he can cast them regardless of how much AP he has.

Chroma Proficiency

Use any character's Level 3 Gradient Attack.

Level 3 Gradients are unlocked by reaching the maximum relationship level with them in camp. Verso's is unlocked by befriending Esquie.
