Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 may go down as one of the best games in recent memory, and it's not just for any one reason. It doesn't just redefine the turn-based RPG gameplay formula, or offer a star-studded cast, or just an incredible soundtrack, or just include an open world full of boss fights and discoveries, or just have an incredible and emotional storyline with unexpected twists and gut-wrenching reveals. It has all of those things, but we're here to talk about the ending of the game and discuss what happened and what it means. Here's my interpretation and recollection of Expedition 33's harrowing, emotional ending sequences. MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING: Do not read any further unless you wish to read about the ending of the game. Table of contentsExpedition 33 ending spoilersWho is the Paintress in Expedition 33?Who is Renoir in Expedition 33?Who is Verso in Expedition 33?Who is Maelle in Expedition 33?Who is Clea in Expedition 33?Expedition 33 Monolith and Paintress's Countdown, explainedExpedition 33: Act 3 and multiple endings explainedExpedition 33: Destroy or Save the Canvas?Expedition 33 ending spoilers Screenshot by Destructoid There are multiple endings in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but let's save that for later. First, let's discuss the game's biggest twist: the end of act two and beginning of act three shock with the reveal that the world and most of the characters of Expedition 33 are creations inside of a magical painted world known as a Canvas. In the real world, Painters and Paintresses with painting powers can use a Canvas as portals into their own painted, created worlds that can be lived in and explored for some time, but not for too long, because it will kill them. Lumière and most of its inhabitants, including Gustave, Lune, Sciel, Monoco, and many others, are just creations within the Canvas. The game implies the existence of other Canvases that Painters can create and manipulate, but Lumière and the game world you play in, along with the characters within it, were all made by Verso, who is the real-world counterpart of the painted Verso we know and play as. In summary, there are light and dark versions of certain characters. Clair Obscur translates to chiaroscuro, which is "the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting," and a large theme within the game's story. Much of Expedition 33's story revolves around one family, their connections to the painting, and issues with each other. Who is the Paintress in Expedition 33? Screenshot by Destructoid The Paintress is a woman named Aline Dessendre. She is the wife of Renoir Dessendre and mother of Alicia Dessendre, Clea Dessendre, and the deceased Verso Dessendre. Within the Canvas, Aline and Renoir came to blows and created the Fracture, which sent Lumière into the sea, created the Monolith, and gave birth to the need for Expeditions in the first place. The Paintress's motivations in the Canvas appear to be to keep her son alive, hence giving Verso immortality within. When the Paintress is defeated, those created within the painting all disappear, including Lune and Sciel, who only exist within the Canvas. Who is Renoir in Expedition 33? Screenshot by Destructoid Like the others, Renoir (played by Andy Serkis) has two versions in Expedition 33. There's the one that players are introduced to early on (dark or "Obscur"), and then there's his real-world counterpart, who you also meet in the early events of the game, known as The Curator. The dark or "Obscur" Renoir created by the Paintress does not paint the man in a positive light, whereas the real Renoir is "much warmer." His ambitions are to save what's left of his family, including Aline the Paintress who has succumbed to the world she has created to deal with her grief of losing Verso. Who is Verso in Expedition 33? Screenshot by Destructoid The Verso that we know in Expedition 33 is a creation by the Paintress. The real-world Verso died in a terrible fire, which also left his sister Alicia disfigured, scarred, and unable to speak. This event defines the tragic story of the game and the Dessendre family's individual actions. Verso's death and the grief those around him feel are the lifeblood and reasoning behind the game's events. The real Verso created the Canvas that the game takes place in, and he used it as a place to play, paint, and imagine fictional entities like Esquie, the Gestrals, and others. Some time after his death, Aline and Renoir entered the Canvas and fought as Aline dealt with the grief of losing her son by recreating him within the painting. Who is Maelle in Expedition 33? Screenshot by Destructoid Maelle is the Canvas's reborn version of Alicia, her real-world counterpart. In an attempt to retrieve her sparring mother and father from the Canvas, Alicia got stuck in the painting and was reborn as Maelle, living her own life within the painting. After the events of act two, Maelle learns of her (Alicia's) memories and abilities as a Paintress, and sets out on a path to save the Canvas from Renoir destroying it for good, which he aims to do to protect his wife and family from getting lost within it. In the end, Maelle chooses herself over her real-world counterpart Alicia, who is blamed for the tragedy that befell real Verso. She's seen as a pariah, disfigured by the fire that ruined her family, unable to speak, and generally just living a difficult existence. And so she attempts to save the Canvas and those within it by expelling her father, just like she expelled her mother, the Paintress. Who is Clea in Expedition 33? Screenshot by Destructoid Clea is the sister of both Alicia and Verso, and daughter of Aline and Renoire. Clea's motivations are to help Renoir defeat Aline within the Canvas because she has been in there for such a long time, and Renoir's efforts are to rescue her. Clea created the Nevrons to help her father retrieve her mother, as the Nevrons were preventing Aline from gaining all of her Chroma back to maintain the Canvas as it stood. Now that we know the main players of the overarching story, let's discuss how it all ends. Expedition 33 Monolith and Paintress's Countdown, explained Here's the best way I can describe the meaning of the Monolith and the number on it. The Paintress was using all of her power to try and prevent Renoir from expelling Aline from the canvas. The countdown on the Monolith was a warning to the people of Lumière of her waning power, as she was trying her best to hold back Renoir from "rescuing" his wife and thus ending the world. Each year, as her power lessened, Renoir was able to Gommage more and more people, and that's the meaning of the number on the Monolith. Aline, the Paintress, was attempting to live in the Canvas forever as it contained the last remnants of her late son Verso's soul. But Renoir wished to retrieve her from within because it was killing her real body on the outside, and so they fought, creating the Fracture, and the battle continued over the decades within the Canvas. Expedition 33: Act 3 and multiple endings explained Screenshot by Destructoid After the revelations to begin act three, the Expedition comes together on one final mission. Maelle, using her Paintress powers, paints Sciel and Lune back to life, and they regroup with Verso, Monoco, and Esquie to take the fight to Renoir, whose plan is to destroy the Canvas and get his family back. Using the Chroma from defeated expeditioners before them, Maelle raises an army of them to launch an attack on Renoir and his creations in some of the most epic scenes in the game as the expeditioners battle around you while you move through Lumière. Eventually, the group reaches Renoir. Before they battle him, he explains his stance that his family has been shattered by the tragedy of Verso dying, as Aline has lost herself in the Canvas, Clea is all by herself, and Alicia has become a ghost. The fight begins, and Renoir enlists the help of the massive Axons from the story to aid him in his fight, but the Expedition is also aided by Aline (the Paintress), who returns to even the odds. Screenshot by Destructoid Renoir is defeated, and he shows what his real life on the outside is like as Aline is sick and dying from too much time spent in the Canvas, a side effect of the Painters' and Paintress's powers to create worlds within them. Renoir pleads with Maelle to come home, but she has chosen her life within this Canvas as opposed to her "life of loneliness in a shell of a body" in the real world. "Destroying the Canvas won't help us move on," she tells Renoir, "it'll just deny us the one place that helped us feel again." "Since the fire, our family has crumbled," Renoir says, lamenting that he "cannot spend another day with living corpses" such as Aline and Alicia. He wishes not to lose Alicia, but Maelle explains that his feelings towards his family are how exactly she feels towards her friends within the Canvas, like the painted Verso, Sciel, Lune, Monoco, and others. She has fallen in love with this fictional world she has lived in and refuses to go back to her painful real life. Renoir reluctantly leaves Maelle behind and returns to the real world. But there's one final stab in the gut from Expedition 33. Verso attempts to leave and put an end to the Canvas himself so that Maelle can continue living and existing in the real world, and his decades of immortality and sadness can come to an end with it. Expedition 33: Destroy or Save the Canvas? Screenshot by Destructoid The players are met with a final choice. In the last battle, you must choose to play as Maelle and save the Canvas, or as Verso and destroy it. The choice is yours to make, but here's what happens in both. If Verso destroys the Canvas, the Dessendre family returns to the real world, mourns the loss of Verso, and then moves on for good. Alicia/Maelle waves goodbye to her Canvas friends, and the credits roll. If Maelle saves the Canvas, she goes on to re-paint all of her friends and those who were lost within the Canvas, bringing back everyone, including Gustave, Sophie, Sciel's husband Pierre, and others. They attend a concert where Verso takes the stage and plays a song on the piano when it's revealed that Alicia/Maelle is slowly degrading and dying in the real world, just like her mother before her. Screenshot by Destructoid In the end, there is no real "happy ending," just varying degrees of sad with a choice to be made by you on which you prefer. Destroying the Canvas allows the family to move on and properly grieve in the real world, but at the loss of everyone inside the Canvas. Saving the Canvas means Maelle gets to live a version of a peaceful life within it, but the pain and sadness of the Dessendre family persist in the outside world as Alicia/Maelle degrades and dies from using her powers to reside in the Canvas. Once the credits roll, you can go back into the Expedition 33 world to finish out the map and complete optional quests and boss fights, or you can even begin New Game Plus.

After your Disney Dreamlight Valley character unlocks and enters the Alice in Wonderland Realm, you'll reunite with Alice and the Cheshire Cat for the first time since before The Forgetting. While most Realm storylines involve you inviting its characters to your village, the Cheshire Cat works a little differently. The Cheshire Cat is one of the trickiest villagers to recruit. He's got a very complex unlocking process with many different tasks to tackle, so here's a full breakdown of everything you need to do to unlock the Cheshire Cat in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contentsHow to get the Cheshire Cat in Disney Dreamlight ValleyAll Cheshire Cat unlock prerequisites in Disney Dreamlight ValleyHow to invite Alice to your Dreamlight Valley villageHow to complete the Mannequin Madness questHow to complete the Chaos in the Kitchen questHow to complete the Cat Tree Catastrophe questHow to get the Cheshire Cat in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid You can unlock the Cheshire Cat by completing the Cat Tree Catastrophe quest in DDV. This is a pretty tough quest to get to, though, as the Cheshire Cat has a long sequence of tasks you need to complete before you can recruit him to your village. All Cheshire Cat unlock prerequisites in Disney Dreamlight Valley There are seven quests you need to fully finish to unlock the Cheshire Cat: Wonders of WonderlandThe Queen's MazeTeeny, Tiny ProblemsLeaving WonderlandMannequin MadnessChaos in the KitchenCat Tree Catastrophe In addition to these seven quests, you also need to recruit Alice as a villager before the Cheshire Cat becomes available. The unlock process for her is tied to most of the previously mentioned quests, so you'll naturally unlock her while working on getting Cheshire Cat. How to invite Alice to your Dreamlight Valley village Before you can invite the Cheshire Cat to your village, you'll need to complete the Alice in Wonderland Realm's storyline and unlock Alice herself as a friend. This requires you to complete Wonders of Wonderland, The Queen's Maze, Teeny, Tiny Problems, and Leaving Wonderland. Unlocking the Alice in Wonderland Realm's door will automatically begin the Wonders of Wonderland quest, letting you chase a bunny around the Plaza before jumping into a rabbit hole. This rabbit hole brings you into the realm where you'll meet Alice and the Cheshire Cat. Screenshot by Destructoid Following this sequence of events is the rest of the Wonders of Wonderland quest, alongside three additional missions involving Alice herself. The Cheshire Cat is involved but isn't the main character here. Nonetheless, locating Alice and helping her will let you invite her to your village and set the stage for the Cheshire Cat's arrival. How to complete the Mannequin Madness quest After completing the Alice in Wonderland Realm's storyline, you'll be able to begin the Mannequin Madness mission. Unlocking this quest initially requires entering Scrooge McDuck's shop, where you'll see trash piles and a strange mannequin that wasn't there previously. Screenshot by Destructoid This introduction leads into the rest of the mission where you, Scrooge, and Alice will work together to discover what the Cheshire Cat was trying to do here. Along the way, you'll interact with and clear away the mannequins, revealing some new clothing items to buy at Scrooge's shop. It's a relatively short mission, but it's crucial for unlocking the Cheshire Cat later in your playthrough. How to complete the Chaos in the Kitchen quest Next on the list is Chaos in the Kitchen, which begins right after Mannequin Madness ends. After completing this quest and entering Chez Remy, you'll notice pink footprints everywhere, initiating the Chaos in the Kitchen quest. Talking to Remy will have him asking if you can help clean up the mess. Screenshot by Destructoid Clearing away the paws will teach you a recipe for Cheshire Cat Tail, leading into your next task. You can make this dish using the following ingredients: WheatEggsSugar CaneCocoa Bean Fortunately, these are all early-game items, while Cocoa Bean is a mid-game ingredient from the Glade of Trust and Sunlit Plateau. Once you collect everything, cook the dish and gift it to Remy before leaving the restaurant. You'll notice more messes around Chez Remy for you to clean up. Once you tidy up the area and return to the restaurant, you'll discover the Cheshire Cat waiting for you. Talk to him and humor his riddles to complete the Chaos in the Kitchen quest, bringing you one step closer to unlocking him as a character. How to complete the Cat Tree Catastrophe quest The final quest you need to complete to unlock the Cheshire Cat is Cat Tree Catastrophe. This quest starts with you speaking to Moana about some strange occurrences near her boat. Follow her to it, then equip your Phone to snap a photo of the strange Cheshire Catfish there. Next, grab your Royal Fishing Rod and venture around Dazzle Beach to catch five Cheshire Catfish. These striped fish can be fished out of golden ripple spots all throughout the ocean. Head to Alice's house once you have all of them. Inside, you'll find the Cheshire Cat waiting to speak with you. He's finally ready to join the valley, but before he does, you need to find the Cheshire Cat's Mini Tree in Alice's house. Once you find it, snap a picture with it, then chat with the Cheshire Cat about what to do next. Screenshot by Destructoid The final step in the unlock process is to place the Cheshire Cat's tree anywhere around the vast valley. You can place it in Dreamlight Valley, The Storybook Vale, or Eternity Isle. Wherever you choose to place it, approach the Cheshire Cat at his new home to officially unlock him as a villager. The Cheshire Cat doesn't have an introductory Wishing Well cutscene like most other villagers, so although it might not feel like he's an official villager, he becomes one as soon as you complete the Cat Tree Catastrophe quest.

What are the best Oblivion Remastered mods? Closing shut the jaws of Oblivion is a herculean task. While the Virtuos team has smashed its modern recreation of Cyrodiil out of the park, there are always ways to make your journey a little easier and enhance the devs' immaculate work a little more. It's modding time, hero. While Bethesda says Oblivion Remastered doesn't officially support mods, this is most likely an acknowledgement that it won't receive a Creation Kit like its open-world cousin, Starfield. It's a toughie, after all, considering the remaster runs a hybrid of the original Gamebryo engine and Unreal Engine 5. The good news is that, while the Daedra works hard, the modding community works harder, and some brilliant mods have already surfaced. Read the rest of the story...

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is now live, and it has a fair amount of differences from the older version. There's a gap of almost two decades between the OG release and the new one. There are some amazing features that are part of the Remastered Edition, and this guide will help you get on top of everything you need to know about it. Unreal Engine V Image via Bethesda The new version is a blend of the new and old-gen. Bethesda has gone with the the original engine when it comes to the core gameplay systems. However, players will enjoy significantly better visuals thanks to the superior capabilities of the Unreal Engine 5. While the requirements for the new version is higher compared to the older version of the game, players have received better graphics. The better graphics look sharper and crisper compared to the dated OG version (which was good for its time, but will be considered as dated in 2025). Fresh content with the Deluxe Edition The Deluxe Edition brings new content available for players who decide to spend extra. The bonus content includes quests for Akatosh and Mohrunas Dragon armors, weapons, and horse armor sets. You'll also receive two fresh sets of weapons - Weapons of Orders and Weapons of Cataclysm. Story Expansions Screenshot by Bethesda The Digital version also packs in the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine digital story expansions available for all. These expansions are available as separate downloadable content. These expansions were previously released with the original Oblivion game, but players had to wait (unlike now). Overall, the expansions are perfect for those who are looking to get a full experience, and get additional hours of gameplay. Third-person view You play how you want. While you can always stick to the classic experience of the 2006 version, there's a new Third-person view to enjoy as well. This different POV of playing the TES 4 is well-thought idea from Bethesda. In the early hours, it seems to work pretty well. New Combat Animations Image by Destructoid While I have always loved the combat mechanics of The Elder Scrolls games, Oblivion Remastered has fresh combat animations that uses a system that works on feedback. This enables you to enjoy a more immersive feel with every weapon that you can experience. There's plenty of smaller and ******* changes that we are experiencing as we start exploring the gameplay. This guide will be duly updated once we discover more. The post Major differences between Oblivion and Oblivion Remastered appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Escoffier is a 5-star Cryo character in Genshin Impact. She is a strong Cryo sub-DPS and support Hybrid unit that will make Cryo teams great again. If you're a fellow Cryo enjoyer, here is a simple guide on how to build Escoffier. You can find her best artifacts, weapons, and team comps below. Best Escoffier build in Genshin ImpactBest artifacts for EscoffierGolden Troupe Screenshot by Destructoid Golden Troupe is undoubtedly Escoffier's best artifact set in Genshin Impact. Since she can perform coordinated attacks even when off-field after casting her Elemental Skill, this set will significantly boost her damage. Tenacity of the Millelith Screenshot by Destructoid If you wish to play Escoffier more as a support, you can also go for the Tenacity of the Millelith artifact set. While the HP% 2-pc set bonus will be useless on her, she can buff her party members' ATK with the 4-pc set bonus. With the right stats on the artifact, you probably also wouldn't lose out on Escoffier's personal damage. Golden Troupe + Blizzard Strayer Screenshot by Destructoid A 2-piece and 2-piece combo of the Golden Troupe and Blizzard Strayer sets is also a viable option. The former will give Escoffier Elemental Skill DMG Bonus, while the latter will increase her Cryo DMG Bonus. Artifact stats Here are the stats that you must prioritize when building Escoffier in Genshin Impact: SandsATK%GobletATK% or Cryo DMG BonusCircletCRIT Rate or CRIT DMG or ATK%Sub-statsATK%, ATK, Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG You can go for ATK% on Goblet and Circlet for a proper healer support build. However, if you want to use Escoffier as a sub-DPS too, then a CRIT circlet and Cryo DMG Bonus Goblet are better. Best weapons for EscoffierSymphonist of Scents Image via HoYoverse Symphonist of Scents is a new 5-star Polearm and Escoffier's signature weapon. This weapon provides a 66.2% CRIT DMG bonus from its second stat. Additionally, the passive increases the equipping character's ATK by a huge amount through different effects, making Symphonist of Scents Escoffier's best weapon in the game. Calamity Queller Image via HoYoverse Calamity Queller is an excellent option for Escoffier. It already has the highest Base ATK among the weapons in the game, and on top of that, it provides a ton of ATK bonuses from both its second stat and passive. Furthermore, the equipping characters gain a decent amount of Elemental DMG bonus, so Escoffier won't lose out on a lot of overall damage output. However, you will want to focus more on CRIT stats when farming artifacts. Deathmatch Screenshot by Destructoid Deathmatch is another great weapon choice for Escoffier. It has a CRIT Rate second stat for consistent critical hits. Furthermore, the weapon's passive increases the character's ATK, so it will help Escoffier with her healing too. However, Deathmatch is a Battle Pass weapon, and buying it specifically for the Fontainian chef is not worth it. But go for it if you already have the 4-star Polearm. Tamayuratei no Ohanashi Screenshot by Destructoid Tamayuratei no Ohanashi is one of the best F2P weapons for Escoffier. It has an Energy Recharge second stat, which will help you with smoother rotation. Furthermore, the weapon's passive gives a huge ATK boost, increasing Escoffier's healing output. Tamayuratei no Ohanashi is an event weapon from version 5.5, so if you missed the event, it's better to look for another F2P option. Favonius Lance Screenshot by Destructoid Favonius Lance is another good F2P option for the renowned chef from Fontaine. While it won't increase Escoffier's overall damage, it will allow you to play her as a battery for the team. Talent priority Escoffier's talent priority is pretty straightforward. If you want a healer build, level up her Elemental Burst first, followed by her Elemental Skill. If you want a more balanced build where Escoffier doesn't lose overall damage output, level up her Elemental Skill before Burst. You can ignore her Normal Attacks. Best teams for Escoffier Image via HoYoverse Listed below are some of the best teams for Escoffier in Genshin Impact: Escoffier + Ayaka + Furina + ShenheEscoffier + Wriothesley + Yelan + FurinaEscoffier + Ganyu + Furina + ShenheEscoffier + Neuvillette + Furina + Citlali The team comps for Escoffier are currently limited, but we can expect more teams soon when more Cryo characters are released.
