Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – Esoteric Ruins Maze Walkthrough & Collectibles Guide

The Esoteric Ruins is an optional location in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and it houses a passive Nevron that offers a unique quest. This mission revolves around finding a special item, but you’ll need to navigate a tricky maze first. This guide walks you through the entire maze, pointing out every collectible you’ll come across on your journey.

Where to Find the Nevron

As you approach the map’s only expedition flag, you’ll spot the Nevron appearing as a glowing blue orb. It’s hard to miss and signals the start of the maze challenge.


How to Open the Paint Cage

After climbing the handholds and golden thread just past the Lumiere’s Wreck expedition flag, head down the slope and you’ll run into a Paint Cage. You’ll need to break three locks to open it:

  1. Keep heading down the slope and check the alcove to your right.
  2. At the bottom of the slope, look past the statue of the seated figure.
  3. To the left, across a small gap, you’ll find the third lock.

Once the Paint Cage is handled, go back to the bottom of the slope. Follow the side path and drop down at the end to enter a corridor. There you’ll find your first Colour of Lumina.

Wrap-Up & Rewards

Use the grapple points nearby to climb back out and return to the blue orb (Nevron) at the start. Hand over the Wood Boards, and you’ll receive the Protecting Heal Pictos.

Bonus tip: If you choose to fight Portier after delivering the Wood Boards, you can snag extra rewards like more Colours of Lumina and a Chroma Catalyst. However, if you want the best reward possible, your best move might be to leave the Nevron untouched.
