How to Defeat Lampmaster Boss in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 (Without Losing Your Mind!)
defeat Lampmaster Boss in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 | Phase One
Lampmaster’s First Phase Attack Patterns
During Phase One, you're stuck in a dark cave, and the Lampmaster’s gonna throw these nasty moves at you:
Jump Attack: Classic leap-and-slam that hits hard if you don’t dodge.
Lantern Barrage: Four of his lanterns shoot random projectiles at your team.
Sword Dizzy Combo: A fast three-hit sword attack that leaves you dizzy if it connects.
Purple Energy Blast: Builds up dark energy and blasts your whole party.
Pro Tips to Survive Phase One
Shoot the Lanterns! You can actually destroy the lanterns shooting at you—even though the game barely hints at it. Breaking them not only stops the attacks but hurts the Lampmaster too!
Counter His Big Moves: Especially when he charges up the purple blast—counter it for massive damage.
Avoid Light Element Weapons: He's super resistant to light, so don’t waste your best light gear here.
Save Your Items: Phase Two is even worse, so don’t blow all your healing items too early.

New Phase Two Attack Patterns
Now that you’re out of the cave, visibility is better—but the Lampmaster’s attacks hit even harder:
Flying Combo: A nasty four-to-five-hit air combo.
Sword of Light: A massive sword swing that hits your whole team.
Each Arm Attack: A fast, sweeping four-hit combo.
Vast Ball of Light: Big light ball launched at everyone.
How to Beat Phase Two
Here's the key to winning: Watch the ritual!
Every so often, the boss will pause and light up his lanterns in a specific order. When you get control back, free-aim and shoot the lanterns in that exact sequence.
Nail the Sequence = Major Damage: If you hit the right lanterns, you deal a chunk of free damage and prevent the deadly Sword of Light attack!
Mess up = Pain: Miss the sequence and you're eating a ton of damage.
Aside from the ritual moments, just keep hammering him down. No elemental weakness here either, so just focus on raw DPS (damage per second) and clean dodges!
