1. Lumière

The Lumière achievement is awarded early in the game and is linked directly to completing the prologue. Since it’s part of the main storyline, it can’t be missed.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Start a New Game

Go through the early tutorial segments. These introduce you to core mechanics, characters, and basic combat.

2. Time to Spill Some Ink

To earn the Time to Spill Some Ink achievement in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you need to break an enemy by filling their Break Gauge. This is a fundamental combat mechanic and can be achieved early in the game.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Start an Encounter
You’ll get the opportunity to trigger this achievement early in the game. One of the best times to do it is during the first few fights in the city of Lumière.

2. Pick the Right Target
A great early target is the Mime enemy found near a small stage with dancers. This enemy provides a safe environment to practice the Break mechanic.

3. Focus on Filling the Break Gauge
Use regular attacks and skills that rapidly increase the Break Gauge. Abilities that deal consistent pressure or multiple hits are especially useful.

4. Utilize Gustave's Overcharge
Build up 10 AP with Gustave and unleash his Overcharge skill. This not only deals significant damage but also pushes the Break Gauge closer to full very quickly.

5. Trigger the Break State
Once the enemy's yellow bar fills completely, they’ll enter the Broken state. The achievement will immediately pop once this happens for the first time.

💡 Extra Tips

• Achievement Combo Opportunity: If you use Gustave’s Overcharge to break the enemy, you may also earn the Overcharge trophy at the same time.
  
  
• Monitor Enemy Patterns: Learn enemy behavior so you can attack at optimal times and avoid getting interrupted while trying to break them.
  
  
• Improve Your Toolkit: As you unlock more skills and gear, your ability to manipulate the Break Gauge improves—making this easier if you didn’t get it early on.

3. Overcharge

To unlock the Overcharge achievement, you’ll need to deal the finishing blow to an enemy’s Break Gauge using Gustave’s Overcharge skill when it’s charged to the maximum of 10 AP (Ability Points). The break happens when the yellow gauge under an enemy’s health bar is completely filled, rendering them vulnerable and stunned temporarily.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Charge Gustave’s AP to the Limit
Engage in battle and use regular attacks with Gustave to build AP. Successfully parrying enemy moves will also help accumulate AP. Avoid spending AP until you reach the full 10 points needed to activate Overcharge at full power.

2. Choose the Right Opponent
Find an enemy with a visible and manageable Break Gauge. A great early-game choice is the Mime enemy located near a stage in Lumière. This fight provides a perfect opportunity to attempt this trophy.

3. Watch the Break Gauge
Keep an eye on the enemy’s yellow bar (Break Gauge) as you whittle it down.
Your goal is to use Overcharge just before the gauge fills completely to ensure the ability triggers the break.

4. Activate Overcharge
Once Gustave has 10 AP, open his skill menu and select the Overcharge move.
Aim it at the enemy when their Break Gauge is nearly full for the best chance of success.

5. Break the Enemy and Earn the Achievement
If your Overcharge fills the last of the gauge and breaks the opponent, the Overcharge achievement will unlock immediately.

💡 Extra Tips

• Timing is Key: Using Overcharge too early may not break the enemy, so wait until their gauge is nearly filled.
  
  
• Dual Achievement Opportunity: If this is your first time breaking an enemy, you can unlock both the "Overcharge" and "Time to Spill Some Ink" achievements in one go.
  
  
• Practice in Easier Battles: If you’re struggling, try using this technique in less challenging fights to get used to the timing and flow of building AP.

4. Spring Meadows

This achievement is part of the main story and will unlock naturally as you advance through the Spring Meadows zone. It serves as a milestone that marks your progress through one of the game’s early major regions.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Enter Spring Meadows
After finishing the prologue in the city of Lumière, your journey will lead you into the lush and expansive region known as Spring Meadows.

2. Make Your Way Through the Area
Follow the main route through the region, overcoming various obstacles and fighting enemies.
Use traversal tools like the grappling hook and climbable surfaces to reach new areas and progress further.

3. Face the Area Boss
Near the end of Spring Meadows, you’ll come up against Évêque, the area’s major boss.
Defeating this boss is required to move forward and is a key moment in the story.

4. Reach the Indigo Tree
After defeating Évêque, continue onward until you come across the Indigo Tree, a significant landmark.
Arriving at this location will automatically grant you the Spring Meadows achievement.

💡 Extra Tips

Explore Thoroughly:
Take your time to look around for hidden items such as new weapons, collectible journals, and Pictos, which are scattered throughout the area.

5. Paint Cage

Your first opportunity to earn this achievement will come in the Flying Waters area. As you explore, you’ll encounter a floating, ornate structure—this is your first Paint Cage.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Locate the Paint Cage
In the Flying Waters region, progress through the area until you come across a suspended, locked chest-like structure surrounded by glowing energy. That’s the Paint Cage.

2. Find the Three Hidden Seals
Each Paint Cage is sealed by three distinct locks positioned in the surrounding area.
These locks aren’t always obvious—they may be tucked behind rocks, hidden on cliffs, or embedded in nearby architecture.

3. Use Your Ranged Ability
Aim your ranged attack (often a projectile ability) at the locks.
When you aim near one, it may glow or highlight, indicating it's interactable.
Shoot each lock to deactivate it. You must hit all three to break the cage’s seal.

4. Open the Cage
Once all three locks are destroyed, the Paint Cage will open on its own.
Inside, you’ll usually find valuable items like Luster, Chroma, or other useful loot.
The achievement will unlock as soon as you open your first cage.

💡 Extra Tips

• Scan the Entire Area: Use elevation to your advantage—climbing to higher spots can reveal hidden seals you couldn’t see at ground level.
  
  
• Look for Subtle Visual Clues: Glimmers of light or odd-colored spots may indicate a nearby lock.
  
  
• Don’t Forget Your Ears: Some locks make a faint humming or glowing sound, which can guide you if you’re close by.

At the beginning of the game, during the Prologue in Lumiere, you’ll make your way through a bustling market and arrive at a spacious town square. To the right, near a small stage where dancers perform, you’ll find the Mime. Defeat the Mime to earn this achievement.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Advance Through the Prologue
As you begin your journey in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you'll progress through a series of story events that eventually lead you to Lumière. This is still part of the opening chapter of the game.

2. Find the Mime in Lumière
While exploring the streets of Lumière, make your way to a large arch structure resembling a ruined Arc de Triomphe. Below this monument are two horse statues. Nearby, you’ll spot a stage where NPCs are dancing. Just off to the side of that stage, a silent figure dressed as a Mime is standing motionless.

Approach the Mime and interact with them to initiate a combat sequence. This enemy is an optional mini-boss and not part of the main quest, but it poses a moderate challenge.

17. Perfection

Verso's combat system involves progressing through ranks, starting at D and advancing up to S. The most effective way to earn the related achievement is during a boss battle, where the fight lasts long enough to build up your rank.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Maintain Aggression
Keep your attacks flowing during battle. The more consistent you are with offense, the quicker your rank improves.

2. Perfect Your Timing
Learn enemy behavior and patterns so you can dodge or parry at just the right moment. Avoid getting hit, as even one mistake can cause a rank drop.

3. Equip the Right Abilities
Customize Verso’s skill loadout to match his combat rhythm. Choose talents that reward aggressive, precise gameplay and help keep your combo streaks alive.

4. Keep an Eye on the Meter
Watch Verso’s performance gauge closely to know when you're close to S-Rank. Adjust your strategy if you see it stalling.

5. Practice in Easier Encounters
Choose fights that allow room for experimentation. Training in less punishing environments can help you refine your timing and improve faster.

💡 Extra Tips

19. Monoco's Station

This achievement is awarded as part of the main storyline when you travel to and complete the events at Monoco’s Station. It's a key narrative moment that also adds Monoco to your party, so you cannot miss it during a standard playthrough.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Head Toward Monoco’s Station
Once you finish the Forgotten Battlefield section of the game, your next story destination will be Monoco’s Station. The area is located in a cold, mountainous region, and you'll use Esquie's traversal skills to access it.

2. Explore the Area
Inside the station, follow the linear path along train tracks and hallways. You'll face enemies and environmental obstacles as you move through. Be sure to rest at Expedition Flags when you see them—these function as checkpoints where you can recover and adjust your setup.

3. Prepare for Battle
Several challenging battles occur here, including a key encounter tied to Monoco himself. Before entering this zone, make sure your party is in good shape, both in terms of level and equipment.

4. Confront and Recruit Monoco
After advancing through the station and facing a boss encounter, Monoco will join your party. This marks a turning point in the narrative and finalizes your progress through this chapter.

5. Achievement Unlocks Automatically
Once Monoco officially becomes part of your team, the "Monoco’s Station" achievement will be granted automatically.

💡 Extra Tips

• Stay Equipped: Before entering Monoco's Station, ensure your gear and abilities are upgraded to handle tougher fights.
  
  
• Don't Rush: Take time to explore every corner of the station—hidden items and story lore may enrich your experience and give you a combat edge.
  
  
• Follow the Main Path: This is a core part of the storyline, so as long as you stick with the main quests, you'll get this achievement without needing to do anything extra.

20. Professional

To unlock Professional, you must successfully complete a boss fight without receiving any damage at all. This includes avoiding damage from enemy attacks, environmental hazards, and status effects. Mastery of the game's defensive systems—dodging and parrying—is essential.

🧩 Best Bosses to Attempt This On

Some boss fights are easier to manage due to predictable behavior and smaller movesets. Here are a few good options:

🔹 Évêque (Found in Spring Meadows)

This is an early-game boss with simple, easy-to-read attacks, making it an ideal choice for this achievement. Spend time learning its rhythm and cues.

🔹 Chromatic Lancelier (Mini-Boss in Spring Meadows)

This foe is flagged by Lune as a special threat but has limited attack variety. With patience, it’s one of the more forgiving enemies to attempt a no-damage run against.

🔹 Goblu (Located in Flying Waters)

Goblu telegraphs its moves clearly, giving you time to respond with dodges or blocks. It’s a manageable fight once you understand its attack flow.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Learn Their Patterns
Before attempting the no-hit run, spend a few rounds studying how the boss behaves. Pay close attention to animations and sound cues that warn of attacks.

2. Use the Right Character and Gear
A recommended strategy is to use Maëlle paired with the Medalum weapon. This setup gives her a head start in battle by activating Virtuoso Stance, increasing damage output significantly.

Consider Equipping:

• Picto: Immaculate – Boosts damage while reducing defense (risk/reward).
  
  
• Picto: Glass Cannon – Increases power at the cost of health—use only if confident in dodging.
  
  
• Picto: Inverted Affinity – Allows creative strategies for elemental resistances.
  
  
• Luminas like Healing Counter or Energizing Parry – These add bonus effects when you successfully parry or evade.

3. Save Before You Fight
Always create a manual save file before starting a boss encounter. If you get hit, reload and try again.

4. Try Soloing
Some players find it easier to control one character instead of juggling a full party. This reduces unpredictability during the fight.

5. Level and Gear Up
Ensure your weapons are upgraded and that your stats are distributed wisely, prioritizing agility, speed, and damage output.

💡 Extra Tips

Don’t expect to earn this achievement on your first try. Repeat the battle as often as needed to develop a solid rhythm and reaction time. Eventually, you’ll be able to anticipate every move and avoid all incoming damage.

21. Perfect Flow

In Expedition 33, Lune has special abilities tied to elemental Stains—remnants from elemental attacks that can either be generated or consumed. To unlock this achievement, Lune must consume a Stain for four consecutive turns without interruption.

🧰 Setup Requirements

1. Equip Lune with the Trebuchim Weapon

• This weapon is essential because it causes Lune’s Free Aim attacks to generate a random elemental Stain.
  
  
• You can acquire Trebuchim during your journey through the Ancient Sanctuary area.

2. Choose Abilities That Use Stains

• Ensure Lune has at least one skill that consumes a Stain, such as Thermal Transfer, which also generates Action Points (AP)—helpful for stringing together multiple turns.

3. Prepare for Multiple Turns

• Stock up on items that replenish AP or enable Lune to act more frequently. This will help her maintain the four-turn streak.

🎮 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Start the Right Fight
Pick an encounter that will last long enough to allow four full turns from Lune. Ideal choices are durable foes like Mimes, Pétank, or certain mini-bosses.

2. Generate a Stain
Use Lune’s Free Aim with Trebuchim to create a random elemental Stain on the battlefield.

3. Consume the Stain
On her next turn, use a skill that consumes the Stain. It’s important that she actually uses up the Stain to count toward the achievement.

4. Repeat for Four Turns
Repeat the cycle: create a Stain, then consume it. Use AP-restoring items or manage your party’s turns to make sure Lune acts four times in a row.

💡 Extra Tips

• Manage Turn Order: Keep Lune at the front of the action queue. Use skills or delay other characters to keep her turns consecutive

Back to Lumière

This Trophy unlocks automatically at the start of Act 3 when you return to Lumiere.

Maximization

To obtain this trophy, you must use Sciel to consume exactly 20 Foretell stacks from a single enemy during the Twilight phase. This involves some planning and the right setup, as it requires precise timing and control of Sciel’s abilities.

🔍 What You Need to Know First

• Foretell is a status effect that Sciel can apply to enemies through specific abilities. It can stack multiple times.
  
• Twilight refers to a specific state or condition in battle where certain powers are enhanced.
  
• Consuming Foretell means using an ability that removes all active Foretell stacks on the target and triggers their effect, typically for increased damage.

🧰 Preparation Checklist

• Use the Chation Weapon for Sciel
  Equip Sciel with this weapon as it enhances her capacity to build and manage Foretell stacks efficiently.
  
  
• Choose the Right Skills
  Only use abilities that add Foretell stacks without triggering their consumption. Avoid any skills that automatically use up the stacks upon casting.
  
  
• Find a Tanky Enemy
  Pick a durable opponent that won’t go down quickly. You’ll need several turns to apply all 20 stacks before consuming them.

⚔️ Step-by-Step Execution

• Start the Fight Under Twilight
  Ensure the battle begins or transitions into the Twilight phase before applying Foretell. This is essential for the trophy to register.
  
  
• Apply Foretell Methodically
  Use only stacking abilities and watch the number of stacks carefully. Work your way up to exactly 20 stacks—no more, no less.
  
  
• Don’t Trigger Consumption Early
  Until you reach the full 20 stacks, avoid any abilities that could consume them, or you’ll have to start over.
  
  
• Consume at 20 Stacks During Twilight
  Once you hit the 20-stack mark, use a move that consumes Foretell during the Twilight condition. This will activate the full effect and meet the trophy criteria.
  
  
• Trophy Pops!
  If everything is done correctly, the Maximisation Trophy will unlock right after the 20 stacks are consumed.

💡 Extra Advice

• Watch Your Stack Count: Use visual indicators or abilities that help track how many Foretell stacks are active.
  
  
• Keep Twilight Active: Plan your turns so Twilight is still in effect when you trigger the consumption.
  
  
• Trial and Error May Be Needed: It might take a few tries to get everything to line up perfectly—don’t get discouraged.
