Quick Links
The journey across the Continent inClair Obscur: Expedition 33is seldom ever uneventful, as there are plenty of encounters and hidden secrets at every turn, whether you’re traversing the overworld or in specific locations. Thorough exploration is your greatest priority while progressing through the game, as not only do you want to capitalize onopportunities to level your characters, but also ones that can provide valuable items and tools.
A prime example of this inClair Obscur: Expedition 33is merchants, which you can find quite literally everywhere on the Continent. You’ll want to locate and buy from as many of them as possible, so here’s where to find them all.
Spoiler Warning:The following guide contains mild, location-based spoilers. Please read ahead with discretion.
How To Buy From Merchants In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Merchants(which are almost alwaysGestrals) serve as the go-to vendors of various items for your party inClair Obscur: Expedition 33. They’re easy to spot by theirhuge rucksack of items topped with a lit hanging lantern. They each have their own mostly unique series of items on offer, including some that you won’t otherwise find during exploration or battle, so finding as many of them as possible is a priority as you progress through the game.
In terms of purchasing from Merchants, they all useChromafor their transactions, which you can consistently earn during your adventures.
You cannot sell items from your inventory to these merchants.Only purchasing is allowed.
If you ever find yourself short on Chroma for certain high-value items such as weapons orPictos, you can always leave and return at a later time in the game once you have enough. The merchants willalways be in the same locations with the same items availablefor the same prices, so no need to worry about missing out on anything.
One other unique feature that these merchants have isthe option for you to fight them to unlock extra items in their inventory. You may notice certain items listed as “Fight The Merchant” (as seen above), and that means you’ll need to successfully defeat the merchant in a duel to make those items available for purchase. Theduel in question is a 1v1, meaning you need to choose one party member to go up against them. Some merchants later in the game (especially ones in high-difficulty areas) will be flanked by various Nevrons, so keep that in mind when choosing your duelist.
