Sadness Vale | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary, 4K

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG set in a Belle Époque France-inspired fantasy world. The narrative revolves around the "Gommage," a grim annual event where a mysterious Paintress erases people of a specific age. Players lead Expedition 33, a desperate mission to destroy the Paintress before the curse reaches their age, uncovering the fates of prior failed expeditions. Gameplay combines traditional turn-based JRPG combat with real-time actions like dodging and parrying, allowing for immersive battles and strategic character builds. Within this world lies Sadness Vale, a somber sub-area of Visages. Players access this perpetually rainy, melancholic zone by entering a large mask from the Plazza checkpoint. The vale is the final resting place of the ill-fated Expedition 39, marked by numerous graves and their improvised Rest Point. Lore pieces, like a journal found at the vale's highest point, reveal their demise at the hands of native Nevrons and grief-inducing mask magic. Sadness Vale features enemies common to other vales, but its flying Chapeliers inflict the "Exhaust" status, preventing AP gain upon defeat. An optional, formidable challenge is the Chromatic Ramasseur, a larger variant distinguished by Nevron limbs. This boss demands precise parrying to create openings, launching relentless melee combos and a devastating "mortal hit." The area offers valuable items, including the Glass Canon Pictos, boosting speed and damage at the cost of increased damage taken, and the Augmented Counter II Pictos, enhancing defense, critical rate, and counterattack damage. An Energy Tint Shard is also hidden within. The ultimate goal of Sadness Vale is to confront the giant, sorrowful mask at the path's end. Answering "Sadness" to its prompt triggers a boss battle against the Sorrowful Chapelier. This enhanced flying enemy periodically inflicts Exhaust, but parrying its smaller masks creates openings for crucial counterattacks. Overcoming this trial returns players to the central hub of Visages, having conquered the embodiment of sadness.
