The Dark Gestral Arena in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was created by some Gestrals that thought the basic arena in the Gestral Village was too boring. By speaking to the Gestral Pots, you can take on a couple of solo challenges to earn some rewards (just don't tell Golgra about it).

This Dark Gestral Arena guide will inform you about the opponents you'll be up against and the rewards you'll get for completing the side area in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. And of course, we'll show you where to find the hidden arena.

Where is the Dark Gestral Arena in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

Not Far from Gestral Village...

You'll probably pass underneath the Dark Gestral Arena as you make your way to the Gestral Village as part of the main story path. Still, you will not be able to access it until you have Esquie's flying ability (which happens towards the end of the game).

Once you do have the power of flight, you can find the arena on a floating rock just west of Gestral Village and northwest of the Hidden Gestral Arena (another place to get some nice rewards).

What's to Come...

Once you make your way to the arena, go ahead and approach the middle Gestral in the pot and speak to them. For each fight in the arena, you will need to do it solo. You won't be able to rely on your favorite team comps of Expedition 33, so make sure to choose the fighter you're best with.
