Before embarking on the epic quest to challenge a goddess in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, protagonist Gustave finds himself at a farewell celebration on the docks. Sharp-eyed players will notice three merchant stalls, each offering unique items in exchange for tokens. While Gustave starts with just one token, there’s no need to make a difficult choice between the available goods – you can actually collect all three tokens with a little extra effort.
Ace Antoine’s Knowledge Challenge
The first additional token can be earned by engaging with Antoine, a distinctive bald man wearing a formal suit. He challenges Gustave to demonstrate his knowledge of the game’s lore through a three-question quiz. For players who have been attentive to the story details, the answers should come naturally.
When Antoine inquires about when the world fractured and the luminous city was cast into the ocean, the correct response is “67 Years Ago.” For his question regarding which expedition first departed for the continent, you’ll want to select “Expedition 0.” Finally, when asked to define what a Lumina is, the proper answer is “Abilities you internalize by using a Pictos in battle enough times.”
Don’t worry about making mistakes during this challenge. Antoine allows unlimited attempts with no penalties for incorrect answers. Simply speak with him again to retry any questions you miss. Upon successful completion of all three questions, he awards Gustave with a second token.
Prove Your Combat Skills Against Maelle
To obtain the final token, seek out Maelle at the far end of the dock. When Gustave approaches, she issues a combat challenge that must be won to receive the reward. Unlike Antoine’s quiz, this encounter offers no prize for defeat – victory is mandatory.
Maelle employs the same fighting style demonstrated during the tutorial section, but with the absence of guided instructions, this relatively early battle might prove challenging. Don’t hesitate to utilize Gustave’s consumable items during this fight, as all supplies will be replenished when the expedition officially begins. After reducing Maelle’s health to zero, she acknowledges Gustave’s skill and presents the third token.
Claim Your Pre-Journey Treasures
With all three tokens collected, return to the merchant stalls and redeem them for the complete set of available items: “An Old Key,” “A Weird Pictos,” and a stylish bun hairstyle for Gustave. While these rewards might not seem immediately critical for the upcoming confrontation with The Paintress, they provide additional options that could prove valuable during your adventure.
After all, who knows? Perhaps an unexpected hairstyle change might be the goddess’s unexpected weakness.
