One of the last major dungeons in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the Endless Tower. We will reveal whether it’s worth it – and what you need to accomplish there.

Update, March 26, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.

After you have gained the ability to fly with Esquie all over the world in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you unlock a lot of new areas. Some of them only have single items, but behind others are really long dungeons and tough challenges. One of the most demanding is the “Endless Tower”.

Where can you find the tower? You can discover the tower all the way in the west of the world map. On the map, it looks like a large golden circle with a “C” inside. You need to fly a little upwards to find a landing spot. Once you have entered the tower, you will first be in the entrance area. Keep moving “back” in the image to get from the entrance area to the actual tower.

The endless tower is hard to overlook.

When should you enter the tower? In principle, the tower can be entered from level 45+, as soon as you have completed Act 2 and Esquie has learned to fly. Some fights require very high character stats, and a level of 80+ is definitely recommended.

However, you can also simply return to the tower “every few levels” and see if you are equipped for the current fight. It is not necessary to complete the tower in one go, and it is suitable as a “breaktime” activity if you only want to complete a few quick fights.

As always in Expedition 33, you can generally succeed in all fights regardless of your character stats if you are true masters of dodging and parrying. If that is not the case, a high level is clearly recommended.

What do you do in the Endless Tower? The Endless Tower offers very little in terms of exploration, but a lot for everyone who enjoys the combat system. In the central room of the tower, you will find a screen that you can interact with. Here you can complete fights one by one and unlock new fights. These are divided into 10 levels, each with 3 challenges. On the 11th level, there are still 3 particularly tough boss challenges waiting for you. In total, there are 33 fights that you can master.

You unlock the fights one by one. After “Level 1, Fight 1”, you can tackle “Level 1, Fight 2”, and so on. Skipping fights is not possible.

Endless Tower in Expedition 33 – All important rewards

What rewards are there in the tower? The rewards are relatively generous, considering that you hardly have to travel. Each successful fight rewards you with a Lumina point and Chroma catalysts, which you can use to upgrade your weapons. In addition, at the end of a level, so after every third fight, there is an additional reward. This could be a powerful Picto, but also new hairstyles.

Here we list all special rewards you can get from the toughest fights:

Level 3, Challenge 360Clea hairstyle for Lune

If you manage to complete all fights, then speak with the ghostly woman next to the portrait afterwards. She will grant you the new “Ponytail (Maelle)” hairstyle. Then you can wear Maelle’s classic hairstyle with white hair color – a real eye-catcher.

What else do you need to know about the tower? The Endless Tower is completely optional. You don’t have to feel any pressure to complete it, and finishing the tower has no impact on the story. You don’t even have to approach the tower before the last story mission in Lumiere. You can return after the end of the story and still master all the challenges that you haven’t completed yet.

If you are defeated in a challenge, it is not a game over by the way. You simply get the message that the challenge has failed and you can try it again immediately without having to load a save.

The Endless Tower is just one of many secrets hidden by the developers in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Some of them are even hidden right at the beginning of the game, so you can miss them forever in the first 10 minutes.
