Stalact - Boss Fight | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary, 4K

*Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* is a turn-based RPG set in a Belle Époque-inspired fantasy world. Released on April 24, 2025, the game follows Expedition 33 on a desperate mission to stop the "Gommage," a mysterious event where a being called the Paintress erases people of a specific age each year. Gameplay blends traditional turn-based combat with real-time actions like dodging and parrying, offering a unique, immersive experience. The boss fight against the Stalact serves as a crucial tutorial for the game's "Gradient Attack" mechanic. Encountered in Monoco's Station after a duel with the shapeshifting Gestral, Monoco, the Stalact is a formidable quadrupedal creature composed of spiked ice with a fiery core. The Stalact dynamically switches between Fire and Ice stances, indicated by its glow. In its blue-glowing Ice stance, it's vulnerable to Fire damage but absorbs Ice. Conversely, its red-glowing Fire stance makes it weak to Lightning or Ice, while absorbing Fire. Hitting its current weakness forces a stance change, demanding strategic elemental attacks. This battle introduces powerful character-specific Gradient Attacks, charged with AP. Monoco provides a free charge at the outset, encouraging players to utilize this new, high-damage ability. The Stalact's attacks include "Earthquake," requiring timed jumps to avoid shockwaves and enable counterattacks, and a slow-wind-up four-hit "paw" combo that necessitates precise parrying. As its health dwindles, the Stalact "heats up," gaining six shields and preparing for a devastating explosion, which players must prevent by defeating or breaking it. Successful strategies involve equipping Fire-based weapons for an initial advantage and consistently exploiting elemental weaknesses to force stance switches. Verso's "Exposing Attack" can apply "Defenceless" for increased damage, and Lune, with her versatile elemental spells, is particularly effective. Defeating the Stalact yields a Polished Chroma Catalyst, Chroma, experience, and unlocks Monoco’s "Stalact Punches" skill.
