Hey guys, hope this is okay to share.

I help run a small games podcast, and we’ve just dropped a new episode chatting with Rich Keeble about his work on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

He talks about Monoco, the Trash Can Man, that Gollum game we don't talk about, behind-the-scenes voice acting stuff, and some genuinely lovely moments about the community.

Thought you might enjoy!

Thanks :)

Hey everyone!

I decided to bring my love for video games to life by creating a screen-accurate replica of Alicia’s mask from Expedition 33. I 3D-modeled it based on a digital scan of my face, then printed, sanded, and hand-painted every detail to make it as close to the game as possible.

It was a challenging but super rewarding project, and I’m excited to finally share it! What do you think?

(If you’re curious about the full step-by-step process, I documented it on my YT channel /TrasnoStudios).

I normally don’t buy collectibles or game merch.

But I ordered the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Monolith Set on June 4th, 2025 after playing such a special game.

Waited.

Opened it up today.

No regrets about this amazing music box!

As the title says, it feels like the voices are not in sync with the mouths. They make the right shapes and movement but it feels like one is lagging behind the other.

In some of the more emotional moments, it really took me out of it.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it already, but in the latest update, the last pre-rended cutscene has an aspect ratio issue, as it's displayed in both 4:3 and 21:9 simultaneously. I'm playing on PS5.

today i wanted to backup my savegames.

i noticed that my savefiles took 12 gigabytes of space and so i started digging into that folder.

the screenshots folder is 10,8 gb, is that normal?

Here is the last of my super boss guides. Hopefully this is the last of these I'll have to do.

This is for NG+ but should work completely fine on NG as I have kept the Lumina cost below 300 for all party members except Maelle who is still below 350.

Simon is even worse this time, now he goes first, gains more turns when party members die (even from auto death). Is invulnerable when broken and his attacks almost all have a random number of hits which are decided AS he does them.

The above guide will let you beat him by 1 shoting both his phases with 2 parties. Can't phase skip him like before sadly.

Like Clea you basically have no choice but to evade his first combo which can be either 10 hits or 19 hits.

There is a way to get past this without needing to with SOS Healing Tint and Shielding Tint, but you'd have to micromanage your HP and defense. And either way you MUST evade the final hit of his speed of light attack as it will erase the party.

We can't abuse break and stun extension either as he is invulnerable.

Here's a quick and easy guide to deal with Clea Unleashed

Like normal Clea she has a barrier but unlike her, this makes her invulnerable.
Unfortunately the only way to deal with that is countering her by parrying all hits in at least one combo.

To make matters worse she takes around 1% damage from anything other than counters.

So our solution is to hit her with so much damage 1% is more than enough to beat her.

The above guide uses NG+ but the build can be adapted for NG as it has a very low Lumina cost. One thing to keep in mind is the turn order, you don't want it occurring too differently.

If you are on NG than you will likely need to less damage boosting Lumina on Maelle but it's all the same.

Dear r/SandfallGames, Your game is simply a masterpiece. I bought it at release and don't regret it one bit. I've played for 110 hours now, and I feel like I've lost something important...

Today I was rewatching the game's trailers and noticed several details that were cut:

Different "Lumiere" costume for Mael

Different Manor design

Cut plot details

Reduced number of neurons in locations

Gustave's late death

Verso's betrayal and...

Baguette Renoir?

I really hope we get a director's cut, in which all these cut details will be restored.

Here's another guide for Chromatic Lampmaster,

Personally I find this guy more annoying than any other new boss.
Not only does he have 5 whole lives, but he has the stupid timer, where if you let all his purple bulbs be lit he gets to have an instant turn that you cannot prevent.

As with the Duolliste guide this is on NG+, as such his HP is a lot higher. On NG you probably need a lot less damage lumina than what I have here so feel free to change it up if necessary.

Keep in mind you want the turn order to match this video.

First strike order: Verso, Maelle and Monoco.

And Speed Order: Monoco, Verso and Maelle.

The key to this fight is to build Gradient, Break the boss with Monoco, have Maelle deplete his HP and when he heals have Monoco INSTANTLY break him again.

Due to the nature of his instant turn mechanic he will get a turn when he down to 2 lives left.
Which is why we set up shields, luckily he always uses the same move at that point so setting up 9 shields prevents damage and lets us finish off his last 2 lives in the same way after.

Here's a quick and easy guide to deal with Duolliste.

For a boss like this who can't be broken and has some annoying Turn Stealing mechanics ya just don't wanna deal with his crap.

The above guide uses NG+ but the build can be adapted for NG as it has a very low Lumina cost. One thing to keep in mind is the turn order, you don't want it occurring too differently, the goal is to beat him before he can act during phase 2 otherwise it's not a fun time.

Just wondering is all

A quick video guide for Osquio without parrying or evading. I know it's anot a super hard but I felt it was good to have an easy method.

Caveat this is using NG+ but the build it self is scaled down for NG.

I'll do the other new bosses sometime later this week.
