What is the best order to fight all the bosses in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? There’s no shortage of wonderfully creative discoveries to happen across in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – but the most exciting for me were always the bosses. Delightfully designed creations, they are, and well worth tracking down so you can experience everything this magnificent game has to offer.

Still, if I’d level one criticism at Expedition 33, it would be the level scaling and pacing of these boss fights. A lot of the time, you may find that the story bosses – grand and dripping with lore though they might be – pale in comparison to that random Chromatic Nevron skulking away in the corner of a random cave. It makes it quite hard for players to figure out which bosses they’re ready to take on, and which are far beyond their party’s grasp for now.

In this guide, I’ve compiled dozens of hours of playtime and painstaking research to figure out the very best order in which to face all 165 of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s bosses. Below you’ll find comprehensive tables for all the main and optional bosses (and also all of the Endless Tower fights in Act 3), with our recommended order and party level for facing each one.

All Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 bosses in order

There is a grand total of 165 bosses in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (including Endless Tower fights). Most are optional bosses, which you will find either in the overworld of The Continent, or inside specific areas – usually well-hidden at the ends of optional side passages.

Once you gain access to the overworld and start exploring, you’ll quickly come across certain areas which are labelled as “DANGER” areas. If you see this warning, it means your characters don’t yet meet the recommended level for tackling the boss(es) within. But Expedition 33 doesn’t actually tell you what these recommended levels are, so we have to dive into the game’s internal data to find out the correct order in which to fight all these optional bosses.

Here is the full list of all bosses and their locations in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, ordered by their recommended level.

Where possible, I’ve taken the recommended levels from the game’s internal code, to make this list as accurate as possible. Of course, the strength of your party also depends on your Luminas, skills, and builds. So it’s definitely possible to tackle many of these bosses at a lower level than the recommended levels listed above.

It’s up to you to experiment, but this is our recommended order if you want to track down and defeat every single boss in the game.

All Endless Tower bosses

In Act 3 of Expedition 33 you can access an optional area on the west side of the map called the Endless Tower. This area is structured differently from the rest of the game: it’s a boss rush of sorts, where you can battle your way through 33 waves of boss fights, each of which is scaled to a higher level than the last.

The first fight in the Endless Tower is scaled to level 61. After that, each subsequent fight is one level higher. The only exception is the final three fights, which scale to levels 93, 96, and 99 respectively. This makes the final boss of the Endless Tower one of only two boss fights in the whole game whose recommended level is 99.

Here is the full list of all the Endless Tower bosses in Expedition 33:

Boss	Stage	Trial	Level
Gault, Luster, Ramasseur	1	1	61
Potier, Steel Chevaliere, Greatsword Cultist		2	62
