Tired of walking and swimming everywhere in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? Good news—once you unlock flying, the whole world map becomes your personal playground. No more awkward detours or blocked paths. Here’s how to take to the skies with Esquie.
How to Unlock Flying
You won’t be soaring through the air early on, so don’t bother looking for hidden buttons. To unlock Flying, you need to defeat the Paintress in the main story.
Yep, it’s that simple—and that late. Once you finally take down the Paintress, Esquie remembers he can do more than just swim and smash coral. After the battle, you’ll gain the ability to fly across the world map.
Flying lets you skip over obstacles, reach previously locked areas, and explore dozens of hidden zones you couldn’t access before.
What You Can Do Once You Unlock Flying
Reach high cliffs and floating islands.
Skip long winding paths on the ground.
Discover secret areas packed with loot and upgrade materials.
Most importantly, feel superior to your past, non-flying self.
Final Blurb
Flying in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is your reward for surviving the Paintress and all the drama leading up to it. Once you unlock it, the world finally opens up... just in time for you to wonder why Esquie didn’t remember he had wings a little earlier. But hey, better late than never.
