Summary
- A player shared a Lumina farming glitch in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, undiscovered by most of the community.
- Luminas and Pictos management is crucial in the game, and Verso's Contorso weapon glitch allows for increased enemy drops.
A Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 player has shared a technique to farm Lumina and XP in the game, which also serves as a glitch, and most of the community hasn’t heard of it. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has gained intense popularity since its April 2025 launch, with its turn-based RPG gameplay inspired by the Final Fantasy and Persona series. The premise follows Lumiere expeditioners who embark on a harrowing, emotional journey to defeat the Paintress.
The RPG is Sandfall Interactive’s debut game under Kepler Interactive’s publishing, and according to director Guillaume Broche, the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 team was assembled randomly, and members were encouraged to brainstorm silly ideas to see how they transpired during the development process. Another fantastic note from Sandfall’s team-building process is the fact that the developers were mostly made up of juniors, and everyone’s ideas were included regardless of their experience.
How To Get Perfect Chroma Catalyst In Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Perfect Chroma Catalysts are rare during the players' first Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 playthrough.
Posted on Reddit by Rapthalia_, a post-combat screenshot, showing the player’s winnings, was shared on the Expedition 33 subreddit, and the user explained how to farm Lumina with over 2 billion XP. The Redditor detailed the process involved in farming by visiting the Chromatic Danseuse in Old Lumiere, which spawns two clones. The goal is to get the boss to respawn the clones as many times as possible without killing the boss, combined with Verso’s Contorso weapon that doubles enemy drops due to a glitch. Additionally, the user had planned to continue longer into the clone fight to reap more, but noted the FPS dropped and they didn’t want to risk the game crashing on PlayStation 5, similar to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s overpowered Lumina combinations that can break the game.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Player Shares Lumina and XP Farming Glitch
A majority of the community already knew how to farm Colour of Lumina in Expedition 33, but most were blindsided to learn of the XP farm. One comment asked Sandfall politely to withhold patching this glitch so that they could try the farming for themselves, and another said that they only found out about the farming technique once they had entered New Game +.
Luminas are passive abilities in the game that are related to Pictos, and some Expedition 33 characters are better to give Lumina Points to than others. Luckily, there’s no limit to how many Luminas a character can equip, but the amount of Lumina Points needed to equip them is tethered to the character’s level. Managing Luminas and Pictos in-game is vital for rewarding combat, and the best way to gain Lumina Points is by leveling up or using the Colour of Lumina Tint item to increase the number of points gained.
