Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Golgra boss guide
(Image via Sandfall Interactive) Clair Obscur Expedition 33 challenges the players with a few rivals, like Golgra , the Gestral Village's chief. To fight her is not a small feat, as she is a brutal duelist with massive health and some devastating attacks. The duel demands strategy, precision, and proper preparation to deal with her attacks. Here is how you can tackle her and claim the rewards. Understanding Golgra and the challenge Golgra is not an average boss but a warrior chief. She is a pure physical fighter who relies on the fast and high-damage combos instead of the elemental tricks. She has no resistances or weaknesses, meaning only raw damage output will be your key. As it is a solo duel, you cannot rely on your teammates; you can only rely on your build and reflexes. If you are not prepared, Golgra's raw physical attacks will obliterate you, making it a true test of late-game mastery. Golgra's attacks escalate when her health drops below 50%. It adds delays and some extra hits in her combos. One mistake means instant death. So, it is important for you to maintain aggression and memorize her patterns. Equip Painted Power Pictus (unlock it by defeating Paintress ) to break the 9,999 damage cap and then maximize your offense. Note: If you feel you are under-leveled, retreat and then grind. This is not a fight to rush things. Pre-fight preparations: Build, Gear, Luminas, and more Begin by acquiring Painted Power Pictus. Once it is unlocked, pair it with some damage-boosting Luminas like the Glass Cannon (high risks and rewards) for a better offense. You can even choose Empowering Parry for the counterplay, but only if you can do it well. A Cheater will further let you act twice in every turn, and therefore, it will be ideal for the buff before you attack. Next, give priority to the Luminas, which can synergize with the solo play. Augmented First Strike and First Strike will deliver the great opening damage. Roulette (50% chance for the double damage) further will add the risk and reward burst potential. Make sure to avoid the defensive passives, as they are useless against Golgra's one-hit kills. Additionally, your build must even maximize the DPS while dodging flawlessly. Pro tip: If you are confident with Dodging, Empowering Dodge will be the solid pick. The Last Stand and Solo Fighter Luminas also shine as you are fighting alone. How to counter Golgra attack patterns to defeat her? How to beat GOLGRA Boss (Build Guide) | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 The move set of Golgra revolves around 3 lethal combos. Fast Combo stars as the 3-hit strike but gains the delayed 4th hit after her health drops down below 50%. Parry early and then adjust the timing post-buff. The Earth Shake pattern will force you to jump and fail. You will be stunned by the follow-up strike. Make sure to always counter immediately after you land. Long Combo is the third and the deadliest move of Golgra. It's a 6-hit sequence with the erratic delays. Memorize rhythm, or you will risk an instant death. Also, to tackle it, practice dodging sideways for the first 3 swings and then parry the final blows. The phase transitions demand adaptability. So, stay calm and punish the openings. What will be the best time to fight Golgra? Do not fight Golgra early on. With millions of HP, she is designed for the endgame builds. Make sure to return only after you have unlocked some top-tier gears and have leveling key stats. To provoke Golgra prematurely will waste your resources. Note: Dialogue of Monoco will trigger the fight instantly. So, save beforehand. If you postpone the duel, you will be able to farm some XPs and optimize Luminas. The rewards like Recoat , 2.25 million XP, and Grandiose Chroma Catalysts are totally worth the grind. Also, once you win, you will be granted a unique weapon that will be tailored to your character and will boost your future battles. Final tips for Duel with Golgra Make sure to master parrying. Golgra's combos are deadly. Go all in on the offense, as the defensive builds will not guarantee a win. Retry, if it's needed. The fight is tough, but the rewards are worth it. Remember, Golgra is the true test of your skills in Clair Obscur Expedition 33. So, prepare well and stay sharp. With it, you will be able to claim victory against the Gestral chief.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's battles are best when you break them
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has flashy, thrilling battles, but the best thing about them is how you can twist the game's many systems to your advantage. The turn-based RPG combat might feel familiar, but it offers a lot of ways to customize your approach to battles so that you can do absolutely devastating amounts of damage. In Expedition 33, you play as a group of Expeditioners who aim to destroy The Paintress, a mysterious being that erases everyone of a certain age every year. In battles, you can have up to three of your party participating in a fight, and should they all die, you can call in your teammates who are in reserve to try and finish off the enemies. To show you how deep the rabbit hole can go in customizing your team, here's my approach to building out just one character, the fencer Maelle. Every character can equip three 'Pictos,' which offer passive buffs like giving you the defense-boosting Shell status at the start of a fight. But after you win a few fights with a Pictos equipped, other characters can also equip the Pictos as a 'Lumina' by using 'Lumina Points,' which you accumulate through leveling up and by using a resource you can find in the game. Image: Kepler Interactive When you mix and match Pictos and Luminas to stack complimentary bonuses, things really get going. For my version of Maelle, I set a combination of Pictos and Luminas that could let her deal potentially enormous amounts of damage, especially if a lucky critical hit and a coin-flip 200 percent damage buff went through. But as a counterbalance to Maelle's huge power, some of the Pictos and Luminas also increased the amount of damage she received , so I added defensive ones that helped her better withstand hits. Read More The best Black Friday 2023 deals you can still get In battle, each character also has a unique mechanic that, when used properly, lets you make their attacks more effective. Maelle, for example, relies on different 'stances' that you can shift into: an offensive stance that increases the damage you give but also the damage you receive, a defensive stance that reduces the damage you take, and a 'virtuous' stance that does 200 percent damage but can be harder to set up. With Maelle, you can move into the different stances based on which of your six different 'skills' you use in battle — and like with Pictos and Luminas, those are also customizable and have their own traits and potential synergies. It can be a lot to manage, and the game often helps in battles by adding a little sparkle to suggest a move for your current situation. But even within the first few hours of the game, I was able to grasp the potential of what was possible with the battle system. And with Maelle, when I nailed the combination of setting up the right stance and a lucky break from my Pictos and Luminas, I regularly could absolutely demolish my foes by dealing thousands of points of damage. (A late-game Pictos that let me exceed 9,999 points of damage in a single hit was particularly welcome.) That's just my approach with one character; each of the other party members has their own playstyles to experiment with and potential skills to use. Your equipped weapons are an element to consider, too. The game shines when everyone's abilities and skills line up perfectly for a series of explosive hits, and it's especially satisfying when things come together to melt down a tricky boss's health bar.

Once I found a combination of characters and skills that I liked, I rarely deviated from them. But I have lots of ideas on how to try things differently for a hard mode run — I'm sure there are a lot more ways to absolutely break the game.
