It’s easiest to collect these Lost Gestrals along the way as you explore each area of the Continent. However, if you miss one, it’s not a big deal because you can always return later. You can get the first two in Act 1 in the main starting area outside Spring Meadows, butyou’ll want to avoid the Burgeon enemy outside Stone Wave Cliffs if you are under-leveled. Once you area able to swim and pass through corals, you’ll have access to Lost Gestrals 3 to 6, and you’ll need to be able to fly on Esquie for the final three.
All Rewards For Finding The Lost Gestrals In Clair Obscur
Gain Access To Paint Break & Receive The Pro Retreat Pictos
Since all nine Lost Gestrals are accessible from the main Continent overworld, you can wait until Act 3, just before theending ofClair Obscur, before trying to track them all down. However,it’s worth collecting at least four of them as early as possibleto get access to Paint Break, an exploration ability that Sastro teaches Verso at camp after collecting the fourth Lost Gestral. This ability allows you to break the strangely painted, tree-trunk-like obstacles that often block your pathway.
Paint Break comes in extremely handy, and you’ll even receive minor loot from breaking many of these. You’ll receive the following rewards for tracking down each Lost Gestral inClair Obscur:
The final reward for finding all Lost Gestrals is the Pro Retreat Pictos, which is an excellent passive Lumina ability that allows instantaneous flight from battle. Instead of waiting for all three party members to play to flee, you can escape immediately upon your first turn in combat. The Pictos itself has a nice balance between Health boost and Speed enhancement, increasing Health by 3,012 and Speed by 612 at Level 33. Overall, tracking down all the Lost Gestrals inClair Obscur: Expedition 33is well worth it, and you’ll unlock the “Lost Gestrals” trophy/achievement upon doing so.
