How to defeat the Chromatic Abbest boss in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

The Chromatic Abbest is certainly one of the harder bosses to defeat in Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and it can become a real pain if you’re not careful.

In general, bosses in Expedition 33 are hard to defeat and difficult to manage. You’ll have to take some time to understand how they operate and compose your team accordingly. However, the Chromatic Abbest takes the difficulty to a new level, but this guide will make it easy for you to manage the situation.

Best tips and tricks to defeat the Chromatic Abbest in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

There are two key elements when it comes to defeating the Chromatic Abbest.

• Observe and anticipate the attack patterns.
• Set up a team accordingly.

The attacks are a double-edged sword. They’re easy to anticipate and follow a repetitive pattern, which makes it easy for you to avoid and dodge the attacks, but you’ll have to get this right. Chromatic Abbest has deadly attacks that can create massive combos in Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Between parries and dodges, the latter is beneficial. It offers a bigger window, allowing you to avoid any incoming damage completely.

However, there will be times when a parry will be hard to execute. In such cases, you’ll have to resort to dodges. The main objective is to receive as little damage as possible since the Chromatic Abbest’s attacks are dangerous.

In terms of attacks, elemental damage is the way to go. Chromatic Abbest has incredible resistance to all forms of Physical attacks, so it makes little sense to go with it. However, it’s neutral to elemental damage. It’s best to go for longer combos that specialize in elemental damage to get the best results.

You’ll also want to bring characters who do Dark and Light damage. You’ll deal more damage by doing so, which will help eliminate the boss. You can take advantage of this method once you have cleared a certain amount of the story. If you’re yet to get such benefits, just concentrate on the correct attack type (elemental over physical).

Finally, try to shoot at the Chromatic Abbest’s middle eye to do a lot of damage. This move can be done once in the battle, so make sure to take advantage of it. This will be relatively hard (in my experience), so make sure not to worry too much if you can’t nail it. You can easily defeat the Chromatic Abbest even if you can’t land a hit on its eye.
