Where to find lustrous rocks in the Expedition 33 Hexga quest
Like Jar’s light, the lustrous rocks aren’t too far from Hexga’s position. However, they can be hard to miss, mainly since the game doesn’t track your quests or provide map markers. Let’s break down each lustrous rock location inClair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Lustrous rock location #1
Go past Hexga and enter the cave ahead. Then, use the grapple to cross over and use the rope to lower yourself down. You’ll see the first lustrous rock as you fall straight ahead, but the problem is that there are a few enemies right next to it. You’ll likely need to get rid of them to access it, or you can try to sneak through. Once you do, strike the glowing rock and pick up the Rock Crystal.
Lustrous rock location #2
While at the first Rock Crystal, travel towards the center to climb a small hill. Follow the path to discover the next item. If there’s an enemy near it, you may circle around the hill to get off its radar.
Lustrous rock location #3
For the last one, walk over to the right side of the cave to spot the noticeable Rock Crystal. Be warned; if you approach it, it will turn into an enemy known as “Rocher.” You must defeat Rocher to gain the final lustrous rock for Hexga. Fortunately, this creature won’t be too challenging to take down compared to other enemies in this cave. Most attacks work on this enemy, but fire is the only element it is resistant to. So, just avoid using any fiery abilities.
With all three lustrous rocks, use the nearby rope and return to Hexga. You’ll have to help them insert the Rock Crystals on its back, filling up the empty spaces in its body. When Hexga gets up, you’ll see your reward where they previously sat. After claiming your reward, you can talk to Hexga again to learn more about their mysterious past or choose to attack. Just know the fight is absolutely brutal. It might be the smarter move to talk instead, as Hexga shares some fascinating lore about the Paintress that adds clarity toClair Obscur: Expedition 33‘s deep and compelling story. You can also continue down the cave to discover one ofthe Manor’smany doors.
What does the Auto Shell Picto do in Expedition 33?
The newPicto, Auto Shell, grants your character a protectiveShell for three turnsright at the start of the battle. It’s like turning the enemy’s shield tactics against them, giving you a solid defensive edge before anyone even moves. This is especially useful when enemies strike first, letting you absorb early damage and stay standing long enough to strike back.
The Shell also grants anextra 411+ Health, making you nearly unstoppable. It’s a strong early-to-mid Picto, especially for characters with low defense. If you want more robust Pictos, check out our guide onGestral Gambler’s riddle.
