When progressing through the main story, you will eventually need to visit Old Lumiere in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. However, exploring The Continent might help you uncover a new secret that will further aid players in battles against enemies.

There are some White Nevrons found in random locations on The Continent in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, like Portier. They're harmless creatures that you can help to gain some sort of reward. Players might find some that have a cryptic request, and they simply need to explore the area until they discover what they're looking for.

How To Complete The??? Orb Quest In Expedition 33

Right next to Old Lumiere is a small snowy area called Esoteric Ruins, which is where players will find a strange??? Orb in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Speak with the Orb to discover that it doesn't know what it is and is just wandering around aimlessly. When you suggest that it's a Nevron or a Spirit, the strange ball doesn't know what either term means. The??? Orb tells you that it's yearning for something to protect its fragile core and would appreciate the help.

As players progress further inside the Esoteric Ruins, they will encounter a Paint Cages as well as a maze puzzle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. You must solve the puzzle if you wish to complete the Orb's quest. Once the puzzle is solved, proceed further to find an item just ahead called the Wood Boards.

As the door through which you came in is now closed, use the grapple hook above to return to the Orb's location. Speak with it and give it the Wood Boards to complete the quest in Expedition 33. The??? Orb transforms into a Nevron known as Portier.

Portier will thank players and give them the Protecting Heal Pictos in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. After that, players will get a chance to either kill Portier or leave without hurting the Nevron.

Should You Attack Portier In Expedition 33

It's best if players don't attack Portier in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Killing the White Nevron might lock you out of a reward you will get later on. So, if players are interested in obtaining this reward, try to leave Portier alive. If you choose to fight the Portier, you will get three Colour of Lumina and a Polished Chroma Catalyst.
