So, you’ve wrapped up the emotional rollercoaster that is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — congrats! But if you thought the game ends with the story, think again. There's a ton of post-game content waiting to be explored. Whether you're a completionist, a power gamer, or just not ready to leave this beautiful, surreal world behind, here’s everything you can do after finishing the story.
1. Break the Damage Cap: Go Beyond 9,999
After defeating the Painter, you unlock the Picto Power: Overpainted. This game-changing upgrade lets your characters surpass the 9,999 damage cap. Level it up and equip it on your other party members for some truly over-the-top damage output.
2. Hunt Down Optional Bosses
Think you’ve fought every boss? Think again. Optional bosses like the Mimes and Petanks offer tough challenges and unique loot. Some are only reachable using Esquie’s flying ability, so revisit old areas to find what you missed.
3. Collect All Pictos & Weapons
Did you collect every Picto and weapon in the game? If not, now’s the time. Completing your inventory means exploring every corner of the map, beating optional enemies, and completing missed objectives.
4. Finish Side Quests & Mini-Games
5. Unlock All Character Skills (Especially Monoco)
Monoco can absorb abilities from defeated creatures. Go back and collect all his possible forms. Don’t forget to max out skills for your other team members too — this is key for 100% completion.
6. Fully Unlock Esquie’s Abilities
Many of Esquie’s traversal abilities, like diving underwater, require high relationship levels. Max out those bonds to explore hidden locations and access rare items.
7. Max Your Relationships
Relationships in Expedition 33 unlock Gradient skills, lore-filled dialogues, and sometimes even music tracks. Spend time at your camp chatting and sharing moments with your crew.
8. Jump into New Game+
Ready for a harder challenge? New Game+ lets you replay with your characters, weapons, and skills intact. Enemies are tougher, loot is better, and you can unlock the second ending.
9. Max Out Weapon Levels
Some weapon upgrades are locked behind New Game+. Collect rare resources and hit max level to turn your weapons into true powerhouse tools.
10. Collect Expedition Records & Lore Logs
Find Lumiere records to play tunes on your camp's gramophone. Pick up every Expedition log to uncover the full backstory and lore that makes this world so compelling.

11. Unlock the Second Ending
Yes, there are two endings. Depending on your choices, you may have only seen one. Dive back in via NG+ to unlock the second ending and piece together the complete narrative.
12. Earn All Trophies
Platinum hunters, this one’s for you. Some trophies are tied to story, others to optional content like mini-games or maxed-out relationships. If you're going for 100%, this is your checklist.
