Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Chapter Three P4 – "The Colours Stolen, the Manor Awakes"

The Expedition reaches the mysterious Flying Manor, a place filled with echoes of power, stolen colors, and foes twisted from canvases. To free the woman trapped inside, we must bring back her paints but the path is blocked by Nevrons, dangerous enemies, and bosses waiting in every corner.

In this part, we explore the Central Plaza, face new threats, discover powerful Pictos and catalysts, and battle the fearsome Goblu to unlock his display case. Along the way, we meet merchants, uncover secrets, and gather the fragments of color needed to unravel the Manor’s mystery.

Step into the heights of the Flying Manor with us every rope climbed, every grapple taken, and every boss conquered brings us closer to the truth hidden inside.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a 2025 turn-based role-playing game from French developer Sandfall Interactive and published by Kepler Interactive. Set in a hauntingly beautiful dark fantasy world inspired by the Belle Époque, the story unfolds on the isolated island of Lumière, where each year a mysterious event known as the Gommage erases all citizens whose age matches the number painted by a spectral entity known only as The Paintress.

To stop this annual erasure, the people of Lumière send forth a group of volunteers Expedition 33 on a desperate mission to slay the Paintress before another number is marked, and more lives are lost.

Gameplay blends classic turn-based combat with real-time mechanics such as timed actions and quick-time events. Players guide a party of characters from a third-person perspective, exploring richly detailed environments rendered in Unreal Engine 5.

The concept was born during the COVID-19 pandemic by Guillaume Broche, a former Ubisoft developer, who assembled a 30-person core team and a network of subcontractors to bring the vision to life. Inspired by legendary JRPGs like Final Fantasy and Persona, Sandfall set out to craft a high-fidelity, story-rich experience a genre they felt had been overlooked by modern AAA studios.

Released on April 24, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 earned universal acclaim, selling over 3.3 million copies in just 33 days.
