So, you might’ve gotten the vibe that the Sandfall folks were channeling some Souls energy when they cooked up Clair Obscur. But let me tell you, the Dualliste boss fight is like the epitome of Souls-game vibes. It’s all about those long combos, a second phase, and a whole lot of dying—like, seriously, a whole lot. If you’re thinking of taking this guy on without any prep, well, good luck with that. Hope you’ve got a good handle on Clair Obscur’s dodge/parry system because you’re gonna need it, and there’s no safety net here to bail you out. But hey, that’s where we come in to save the day.
Who to Bring to the Party
Now, when it comes to taking down the Dualliste, the key is Light Magic. Lucky for you, you’ve got Verso on your side, dealing exclusively in Light attacks. So, make sure he’s in your party no matter what. And don’t forget about Lune, your healer. Keep her focused on healing and racking up those Light Stains. Once you’ve got enough, unleash Mayhem and watch the Dualliste’s health bar plummet. Just be warned, if your squad is built around Fire or Sciel’s Twilight skills, you’re gonna have a harder time dealing damage. But hey, that’s where Maelle comes in handy to keep the burn going and pave the way for Virtuose Mode.
Taking Down the Dualliste
When it comes to the actual fight, you’re gonna want to rely heavily on Verso for offense. Stack those Light attacks and keep Lune on healing duty. And remember, dodging and parrying are your best friends in this battle. You’ll need to survive the Dualliste’s combos and capitalize on every chance to strike back. And just when you think you’ve got him beat, surprise! He’s got a second phase. Because of course he does. But hey, no big deal, right?
Second Phase Shenanigans
After you chip away at his first health bar, the Dualliste whips out his second sword and kicks things up a notch. Now you’re dealing with a whole new set of attacks, including some pesky hooded minions and a move that turns healing into damage. But hey, you’ve come this far, so just keep your wits about you and try not to die. And when you finally put the Dualliste in his place, you’ll get some sweet loot and a well-deserved sense of accomplishment. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is out now, so grab your controller and dive into the action.
