In Act 3 of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 , here is what you should do and expect:
- At the start of Act 3, your character Esquie gains the ability to fly, opening up the entire world for exploration. This act is much less linear and allows you to visit many new areas and optional dungeons
- Your first priority should be to return to camp and talk to all party members to watch their bond events. Increasing bond levels unlocks powerful Gradiant attacks and exclusive dungeons and bosses, which are useful for leveling up before the final challenges
- Explore the new Act 3 areas such as The Fountain, Flying Casino, Sacred River, Gestral Beach, Dark Gestral Arena, Endless Night Sanctuary, Crimson Forest, and Sky Island. Some of these areas contain tough enemies and unique bosses, providing good opportunities for farming experience and resources
- You can tackle the big tower called the Endless Tower and other optional dungeons. Avoid red-marked areas if you want to stay away from extremely difficult enemies
- If you want to finish the story quickly, fly to Lumiere, the final dungeon. Entering Lumiere leads to the ending, but you can leave Lumiere at any time to continue exploring. Enemies there are not significantly stronger than those at the end of Act 2, so heading straight there is a viable option
- Act 3 has no strict point of no return. You can explore as much side content as you want before or after finishing the main story. There are also very challenging danger zones with superbosses for players seeking extra difficulty
- For efficient leveling, some spots in Act 3 are recommended for farming XP and resources, such as areas with Nevron enemies and the Dark Gestral Arena where you fight one party member at a time
In summary, in Act 3 you should:
- Talk to all party members and increase bonds
- Explore new areas and optional dungeons
- Farm XP and resources in recommended spots
- Decide whether to proceed to Lumiere for the story ending or continue exploring
- Take on challenging superbosses if desired
This approach will prepare you well for the endgame content and give you a full experience of Act 3 in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
