Why Parrying Is Your Only Way to Win
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!

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!
