Thinking of attacking Tisseur in Expedition 33? Here’s what you gain from the fight, how to reach the boss, and key tips to win—including countering Sirene’s Charm.
Should You Fight Tisseur in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?
Tisseur, fittingly named “The Weaver,” is a non-hostile Nevron boss you’ll find on Sirene’s Island in Expedition 33. When you encounter it, Tisseur is just quietly weaving away, completely absorbed in its work. Like other peaceful Nevrons such as Jar and Hexga, you get the choice: leave it be, or attack.
So… should you fight it?
Yes—Here’s Why Tisseur is Worth Fighting
Despite its peaceful demeanor, it’s highly recommended to take on Tisseur. Defeating this boss rewards you with the Anti-Charm Pictos—a crucial item for surviving the Sirene boss fight. Sirene has a nasty habit of summoning Widow Ballets to Charm your team and will also try to seduce your characters herself.
Getting Charmed means your expeditioners will skip turns or even attack their own teammates—not great. The Anti-Charm Pictos can prevent that chaos entirely.
When the game gives you the prompt:
“The Nevron does not seem hostile. It sews tirelessly, engrossed in its work. Attack anyway?”
Choose Yes if you want to prepare for one of the game’s trickier encounters.
Tisseur Rewards
On top of the Anti-Charm Pictos, beating Tisseur also gets you:
- Tissenum
- Resplendent Chroma Catalyst
- Recoat
All valuable items for progression and upgrades.
