Completing Relationship Levels in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

The main characters in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have a strong connection, which remains constant as you play through the game. However, you can enhance your relationships with most of them. The game includes a relationship level that reflects your bond with each companion.

This feature isn’t available from the beginning. When it is introduced, the game doesn’t provide a thorough tutorial explaining this new element; it simply notes that your relationship with a particular character has improved. There’s more to understand, so here’s a breakdown of how it works.

When Are Relationship Levels Introduced?

Worrying about relationship levels isn’t necessary until you reach Act Two. This is because the levels pertain to Verso’s interactions with other characters, and he doesn’t become part of the crew until the end of Act One.

How Do You Raise Relationship Levels?

Improving your relationship levels is fairly straightforward. Simply talk to your companions at camp.

When you approach them, you can engage in a short dialogue, and sometimes the game will prompt you to spend time with them. If you choose ‘yes’, you’ll participate in a scene that boosts your relationship level.

To achieve a level six relationship, you must complete a brief quest for the character, as this is the only way to progress beyond just talking.

What Are The Rewards For Raising Your Relationship Levels?

Spending time with your companions allows you to learn more about them, but enhancing your relationships offers additional benefits.

You can also unlock Gradient attacks, Achievements or Trophies, and various other items. Here’s a summary of what you can unlock:
