The Curator - Training Fight | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG set in a Belle Époque-inspired fantasy world. It centers on the "Gommage," a yearly event where the Paintress erases people of a specific age. Players lead Expedition 33, a group trying to destroy the Paintress before the cursed number reaches "33." Gameplay combines traditional turn-based combat with real-time elements like dodging and aiming, offering deep character customization and a focus on immersive battles. One pivotal early encounter in the game is the training fight against The Curator. This mysterious, tall humanoid is first met in The Manor, a strange mansion in the Flying Waters. Gustave and Lune discover The Manor and reunite with Maelle, who reveals The Curator has been helping her despite its unsettling appearance—a smashed-in face with a black hole. Although silent in a conventional sense, Maelle understands its intentions, and Lune notes its unique chroma, distinct from common enemies. After Maelle rejoins the expedition, The Curator initiates a battle, serving as a tutorial. This isn't a high-stakes fight but a learning opportunity, introducing the "jump mechanic" and Maelle's combat stances. The Curator primarily uses "Jump Flare" attacks, unblockable moves that require precise jumps to evade. Successfully timing these jumps unlocks "Jump Counterattacks," allowing players to punish The Curator. Though it has a health bar, this encounter is designed as a guided lesson, not a true challenge. Following this instructional bout, Maelle invites The Curator to join the team. The creature considers the offer, then disappears, leaving a note suggesting it will appear at the expedition's camp. Indeed, The Curator later becomes a crucial NPC at the camp, offering vital upgrade services for weapons, Lumina (skill points), and other resources, using various catalysts. This seemingly helpful figure is later revealed to be Renoir Dessendre, Maelle's father and a major antagonist, using the Curator persona to guide the expedition for his own ends.
