Although the combat system inClair Obscur: Expedition 33is turn-based, the real-time feature makes it unusual for its genre. Other than determining which move to make to hurt the enemy the most, players must stay on their toes to dodge and parry the enemy’s hits. Failing to avoid the enemy’s attacks will cause great struggles, as the game is meant to be unforgiving if players get hit constantly.
Thankfully, in battle, players can use potions to heal, revive, or restore AP, opening the window for a second chance. Later on,restoring these Tints can be done by resting at a checkpoint, which not only recovers the team’s health and bottles, but also triggers asave inExpedition 33.
How To Save In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
To save inExpedition33, players must rely on theautosavefeature—there’s no manual save button. When the game autosaves,there will be an indicator saying “Save in progress…” on the bottom left, meaning players can see when the game is saving and when it’s not.
Players can head to an Expedition Flag’s Rest Point, then pressRestto trigger an autosave andrestore their team’s health and potion counts, a mechanic used in some soulslike games. Similarly, doing this will alsocause enemies to respawn, so make sure to only Rest if you’re ready for enemies to reappear.
How To Trigger Save In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Although there’s no way to manually save inExpedition 33, players can force the game to autosave by performing certain actions. For example:
If you’re trying to trigger autosave by changing your character’s appearance or equipment, make sure the autosave indicator appears, because sometimes the game doesn’t trigger the save.
Additionally, the following things may also trigger autosave:
Forcing an autosave is handy if players don’t want to walk certain distances, but keep in mind that it doesn’t heal the team or restore the potion bottles, unlike using the Rest feature at the Rest Point.
To load inExpedition 33, simply open the menu, then chooseLoad Previous Saves. There will be a list of autosave files, and players can scroll down to see which one they want to reload. Unfortunately, the save files only have a time marker on them, so players may need to try loading several times to return to the point they wish to go to.
