Hey, Tamriel warriors! Struggling to defeat Chromatic Ramasseur in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? This boss is a nightmare—the hardest I’ve faced in the game so far! I’m not great at parrying or dodging, so if I can beat this beast, you can too. The Chromatic Ramasseur doesn’t have fancy mechanics, but it’s a brutal test of your parry skills. I’ll break down its attacks, share my parry tips, and show you how to crush this boss with light damage. Let’s dive in and take this thief down!

Why Parrying Is Your Only Way to Win

Here’s the deal: to defeat Chromatic Ramasseur, you have to parry—there’s no dodging your way out! Dodging just delays the inevitable, and this boss hits hard enough to one-shot you. Each parry lets you counterattack, filling the yellow Break Meter under its health bar. Once it’s full, the boss gets stunned, and that’s your window to unleash heavy skills. I started by applying Burn with my first turn, then focused on parrying every attack to build that meter fast!

Attack 1: The Combo Hits – 4 or 8 Strikes

The Chromatic Ramasseur in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has two combo attacks signaled by the message “Performs a Com Voc.” One’s a 4-hit combo, the other’s an 8-hit combo. The rhythm is quick: two fast hits, a pause, then two more (repeating for the 8-hit). My pro tip? Always assume it’s the 8-hit combo so you’re ready for extra strikes. Time your parry for each hit in the rhythm—it took practice, but it’s a game-changer once you nail it!

Attack 2: The Mortal Hit – Don’t Get One-Shotted

When you see “Performs a Morta Hit,” brace yourself—this one’s a one-hit kill, no matter your level! The trick is to parry it. Watch for the boss’s jerky swing motion—wait for the second swing, then parry right as it lands. I found this easier than the combos because the timing’s more predictable. A successful parry here lets you counterattack and keep that Break Meter filling up!

Boost Your Parries With the Right Picks

Since parrying is your only strategy, stack picks that boost your parry game! Grab any picks that give benefits on successful parries—like extra AP or damage buffs. I struggled at first (I’m not a parry pro!), but these picks made a huge difference. Once you break the boss, it’s stunned—unleash your strongest light-damage skills (it’s weak to light!) to deal massive damage. I needed a few rounds of parrying, but eventually took it down with my heaviest hits!

My Winning Strategy: Break, Burn, and Bash

Here’s how I finally beat the Chromatic Ramasseur: I applied Burn early to chip away at its health, then focused on parrying every attack to fill the Break Meter. When it broke, I used my strongest light-based skills to deal huge damage. It took a couple of stun phases since I’m not great at parrying, but the boss went down! If you’ve got high-damage skills, you might finish it in one stun phase—go for it!
