In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, certain skills can only be unlocked by fulfilling specific conditions... And diving is no exception to the rule, but is not unlocked as the story progresses, like other skills. So where do you find the Esquie stone for diving, and how do you get it to explore submerged areas? We tell you all about it!

In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, scuba diving can't be improvised... It's a skill to be unlocked! Sandfall Interactive 's turn-based role-playing game features a map to be explored via various linear zones, some of which are underwater.Esquie 's character can dive into these areas, but only after acquiring a specific skill not included in the main story. A skill linked to one of the character's stones, which must be found... Well, that's in theory, since this one doesn't unlock the skill like the others.

Scuba diving in Clair Obscur Expedition 33: tips for getting it right

How do you get it? You'll simply need to strengthen your ties with Esquie in the camp, on level 6, after defeating the painter. This is an essential step in exploring the seabed and its resources. Note that you can get ahead throughout the adventure, strengthening your ties with Esquie as the story progresses.

This means spending time with him, mainly around the fire, when you return to camp. So don't miss a single interaction, even after the game is over. As the relationship progresses, you'll unlock a secondary quest in which you'll have to fight François to retrieve a stone called Sourrie. Once this mission is completed, Esquie will obtain the stone and automatically unlock the expected ability.

What's the point of diving into Clair Obscur?

The "scuba diving" skill is essential for collecting lumicolors, resources that increase your characters' lumina points. Each diving zone (around ten throughout the game) gives access to five lumicolors. This gain represents a significant strategic lever for optimizing your team. Acquiring this skill also unlocks a trophy or achievement called " Plane, Train and Submarine ". Get ready!
