PS5
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 allows extensive post-story cleanup, but some platinum opportunities happen in Lumière. The prologue Mime and certain camp scenes deserve attention; the Old Key now has an additional recovery pickup in the final area thanks to patch 1.5.0. This roadmap accounts for that distinction so an outdated key warning does not trigger an unnecessary restart. After Act 3, exploration and party development can progress together before you deliberately decide whether to begin NG+.
PS5 base-game roadmap. Platinum collections and requirements are separated from indiscriminate completion of every added activity.
- Required difficulty: Choose your preferred difficulty; Professional still requires a damage-free boss victory.
- Missable trophies: Check the prologue Mime, camp scenes and Maelle’s relationship. Since patch 1.5.0, the Old Key also has a final-area recovery pickup.
- Online: The base-game platinum route does not require multiplayer.
Check the Mime and use the updated key recovery
Fight the Lumière Mime before confirming progression from the first prologue section; the requirement concerns that specific encounter. Taking the Old Key with a festival token is still convenient, but missing it no longer automatically blocks every journal. Official patch 1.5.0 added a second pickup in the game’s final area. If you need the key after the story, check that recovery option before starting New Game Plus.
- Check the prologue Mime; obtain the Old Key at the festival or through patch 1.5.0 recovery.
Visit camp between major objectives
Inspect camp interactions during Act 2 and after the Axons instead of saving every conversation until the ending. A piano scene involving Verso and Maelle awards a record; in Act 3, also attend to Maelle’s relationship progression. Do not skip a scene merely because that character is outside your combat trio. Relationship requirements and your preferred battle formation are different categories.
- Recheck optional scenes when an act changes or an Axon is defeated.
Separate journals, records and Monoco’s skills
Keep separate lists for journals, music and skills. For Monoco’s skills, use the character in the relevant encounters and check what has actually been learned. Esquie’s abilities open new map routes: record an inaccessible area and return when you have the appropriate movement option. That prevents confusing a traversal barrier with a missable item or repeatedly searching an already-completed area.
- Compare the missing collection with your traversal abilities and active party.
Prepare damage output before optional bosses
After the Paintress, inspect Painted Power and the associated Lumina learning so the party can exceed its previous damage limit. Before Simon and other demanding challenges, test the build in a manageable encounter: verify effects and synergies rather than only character levels. For Professional, retaining an early Chromatic boss lets you return with a stronger team, but it is not the only possible opportunity.
- Verify that the required Lumina are learned and equipped before major optional bosses.
Clean up on the established save before NG+
Loading after the final boss returns you to the pre-fight point and allows continued exploration. Use that save for the tower, bosses and unfinished collections. New Game Plus is not mandatory for the platinum and can reset collection progress, so do not start it as the first response to a missing journal. If a prologue requirement really was missed, plan the recovery deliberately and keep a summary of the first campaign.
- Compare every collection before selecting New Game Plus.

Frequently asked questions
Must I complete New Game Plus?
No. The platinum can be completed in the first campaign if missables are respected. Use cleanup before restarting collections.
Does a later Mime replace the opening one?
No. A Peculiar Encounter concerns the Mime in Lumière’s prologue.
Can I explore after the ending?
Reloading returns you to before the final boss so you can resume exploration without starting NG+.
