Clair Obscur Expedition 33 – How To Defeat The Chromatic Lancelier

The Chromatic Lancelier is an optional boss in Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Defeating it unlocks a new weapon for Gustave. Let’s see what you must do to take down this mighty foe!

The Chromatic Lancelier Boss Guide

You will fight this boss in the Spring Meadows. The location is between the Grand Meadow and Abandoned Expeditioner Camp. From the Spring Meadows checkpoint, go a bit further and you will soon spot the boss.

Preparation

The Chromatic Lancelier poses a serious challenge. To make things a bit easier, you should follow the main story and defeat Eveque. The extra levels and better gear will make a difference when facing the optional boss.

This is the recommended Pictos and Lumina setup for the encounter.

Gustav

• Pictos: Critical Burn and Burning Shots.
• Lumina: Dead Energy II and Dodger.

Lune:

• Pictos: Dodger and Dead Energy II.
• Lumina: Critical Burn.

Chromatic Lancelier Encounter Strategy

The boss is weak against Ice attacks. Its weak point is the green orb at the top of its head. Hitting the weak spot inflicts a lot of damage.

The boss uses the following attacks:

• Lance Thrust Attack (slow). The boss jumps at you spinning its lance. A thrust attack will follow. You can parry this attack.
• Fast Lance Attack (quick). The boss gets close to you and does a quick thrust using the lance. You can parry this attack.
• Double Attack. The boss performs two attacks: a Lance Thrust followed by a Fast Lance attack. Dodge twice to avoid both attacks.

Lune’s Ice Lance skill will be useful in this battle. If you are using the Burning Shots Lumina or Pictos, you may apply Burn for extra damage. As soon as the battle starts, you can do some Free Aim range attacks on its weak point.

The focus of this battle is to build Overcharge with Gustave’s Lumiere Assault. You don’t need to build 10 charges to launch Overcharge. Use Lune’s Immolation to apply Burn. You can apply Mark with Gustave’s Marking Shot. With Mark applied, target the weak spot to deal significant damage. The best defensive strategy is parry. If that doesn’t work, you should dodge. You can build AP if you are using the Dodger Pictos or Lumina.

The rewards for taking down the boss include:

• Lanceram weapon for Gustave.
• Augmented Attack Pictos.
• Colour of Lumina x5.
• Chroma Catalyst x2.
• 540 Chroma.
• 180 XP.
