Orphan Chroma is an optional boss in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, encountered by the squad in the additional location "Yellow Harvest". The enemy enters the battlefield with two of his fellows, each of whom has unique techniques. To defeat the monster, you will need to learn about its vulnerabilities and understand the most dangerous attacks.
In this guide, we'll tell you how to defeat Orphan Chrom, analyze his attack patterns, and provide battle tips.
Where to find Orphan Chrome
The easiest way to find Chrom the Orphan is to follow the final flag in the Yellow Harvest location - "The Yellow Spire Wreckage". Turn right and go outside, then turn right again. After ing the vases, climb onto the ledge of white stone and go a little further to reach the ramp.
Once in the cave, move forward to the battle arena. At the remains of a wooden structure and a balloon, you will find a trio of bosses who are repairing.
How to defeat Orphan Chrome
During the battle, you will have to defeat three Orphans at once. The mini-bosses on the edges have less health, while the enemy in the center is the main one: it is he who owns the elite enemy bar at the top of the screen. To gain advantages in battle, let's consider the vulnerabilities of monsters and mechanics that pose a danger to fighters in the squad.
Build for ground damage
All three Elite Neurons are vulnerable to damage from earth element. To deal increased damage to them, you can give one of the expedition a weapon with the appropriate elemental damage:
- "Golteram" for Verso or Gustave.
- "Benefactor" or "Chapelim" for Lune.
- "Tissenum" for Mael.
If there is no such item, or it is too weak, it is worth take Lune into the team, choosing the appropriate earth skills for it:
- "Tremors of the Earth."
- "Landslide".
- "Crackling bark."
- "Pulse of the Earth".
Try to keep Lune on the field at all costs so that she can deal high damage and end the fight faster.
Remove the status of Corruption by cleansing
Boss attacks apply to heroes status of Corruption, which reduces the characters' maximum health by 10% for each charge. Try to remove the debuff as quickly as possible so that the HP level does not fall to critical. This can be done using the following skills:
- "Restoration" by Gustave.
- "Healing Light" and "Tree of Life" by Lune.
- "Purification by Darkness" Ciel.
- Verso's "Full Restore", "Purification" and "Burden".
Also, if any of the characters wear a pictos or lumina "Cleansing Tonic", you can remove the debuff with a healing drink.
Dodge the spinning attack
One of the most dangerous and unpredictable attacks of the Orphans is rotation. The boss draws his weapon in front of him and begins to spin, approaching the expedition member. After fourth rotation the enemy hits the target, no matter how far away the enemy is. When hit, the hero suffers massive damage and is inflicted with Corruption.
The timing of the spinning attack is extremely difficult, so it's best to dodge first. Once the monster is ready to strike, it will make a characteristic sound, which stands out from the rest of the sound effects. Wait for it and immediately press the appropriate button to dodge or parry, as it is extremely dangerous to miss these blows.
Awards
For defeating the three opponents you will receive the following reward:
- experience ×54;
- "Kralim" weapon with electric damage for Lune;
- shiny chrome catalyst x6;
- lumina color ×15.
