Have you stumbled upon the mysterious locked door in the Flying Manor of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? Behind it lies a powerful, optional boss named Clea. If you're struggling with this fight, you've come to the right place. This guide will break down exactly how to beat Clea and claim victory.

Clea can be a tough fight if you're not prepared. The key to this battle is understanding her weaknesses and attack patterns. My first attempt at fighting her was a disaster because I went in blind. I didn't realize she was resistant to physical attacks, so my heavy-hitting physical characters were barely scratching her. It was a frustrating experience, but it taught me the importance of preparation.

How to find Clea

First things first, you need to find her. Clea is located in the Flying Manor, an optional area in the game. You'll come across a locked door that requires a key. To get the key, you'll need to solve a small puzzle involving pressure plates and statues. It's not too difficult, but it can be easy to miss if you're not exploring thoroughly. Once you have the key, you can unlock the door and face Clea.

Beating Clea in Expedition 33

Now for the main event. Here are the key strategies for defeating Clea:

• Exploit her weakness: Clea is weak to Void damage. This makes Maelle an essential party member for this fight. Equip her with a weapon that deals Void damage, like the Barrier Breaker or Lithum, to maximize your damage output.
• Slow her down: Clea has a nasty healing ability that can prolong the fight. Use abilities that slow her down to delay her actions and give you more time to deal damage.
• Use Rush: The "Rush" ability is your best friend in this fight. It allows your entire team to act more frequently, giving you a significant advantage.
• Learn her attack patterns: Clea has a few key attacks to watch out for. She can summon Nevrons to attack your entire party. You'll need to alternate between parrying and jumping to avoid taking damage. She also has a powerful three-hit combo that can be devastating if you're not careful. I remember the first time she used her three-hit combo on me, I panicked and tried to block all three hits, which resulted in my character getting knocked out. After a few tries, I learned to parry the first two hits and then dodge the final, most powerful, blow.
• Save your most powerful attacks: One of the most effective strategies is to save Maelle's "Gommage" attack until Clea's health is around 75%. If you're successful with the roulette, you can defeat her in a single hit.

By following these tips, you'll be able to defeat Clea and continue your adventure in Expedition 33.
