The Crimson Forest is one of the smaller side areas players can explore from The Continent in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. While some locations are easy to maneuver and the boss is waiting at the end with the reward, you need to solve a small puzzle before attempting to fight the boss hiding in the Crimson Forest. Three sword statues must be found to summon the area's boss.
The Chevaliere sword statue can be activated in any order.
Although the Crimson Forest doesn't contain many items, there is, however, a decent weapon for Verso waiting at the end after defeating the boss. This guide will list the collectibles available in Crimson Forest in Expedition 33, along with how to summon the boss.
Crimson Forest Location In Expedition 33
The Crimson Forest is located northwest of the Crushing Cavern, near the Endless Tower in Expedition 33. You can only reach it by unlocking Esquie's flying ability. It is recommended to be at least level 50 before attempting to explore the Crimson Forest and defeat the boss found at the end.

Polished Chroma Catalyst.
Colour Of Lumina
Before jumping down to the second sword statue, hop to the floating platform to reach the other side and pick up a Colour of Lumina.
Shortcut
Unlock the shortcut and rest at the Crimson Perch expedition flag if desired.

Chromatic Gold Chevaliere Boss
Once you examine the area and choose Yes, the Chromatic Gold Chevaliere boss will appear alongside a Clair and Obscur. They're mainly there to buff the boss and debuff the expedition team in Expedition 33, while the Chromatic Gold Chevaliere deals high fire and ice damage.

Chevalam weapon. The Crimson Forest objective is complete, and players can leave to explore another area.
