Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – How to break Paint Spikes
By Ryan Woodrow
Paint Spikes are a frustrating roadblock you’ll encounter in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. These strange objects look like roots that have a blue glow to them, and they’re often blocking the way to secrets and rewards. They can be broken, but not right away. We’ll explain what you need to do to gain the ability to shatter these paint spikes.
How to break Paint Spikes
To break paint spikes, you need to find four Lost Gestrals and return them to the big gestral in your camp. You’ll get a variety of rewards as you hunt them all down, but after returning the fourth, you’ll gain the ability to break the spikes. If you're having trouble finding them, we have a full list of every Lost Gestral location in Expedition 33.
Once you’ve been shown how to you it, you can use your attack on R1/RB in the overworld or while exploring areas to break any paint spikes that appear in front of you.
