In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Lost Gestrals are collectible storybook creatures hidden all over the map. There are nine in total, each insisting they’re not lost until you mention Sosoco—then they’ll return to camp. Finding them all unlocks special rewards.
Here’s where to locate all Lost Gestrals in Expedition 33 and what you’ll earn for tracking them down.
1. How to find every Gestral in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?
There are nine Lost Gestrals hidden across the Continent in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. After unlocking Sastro, who sets up camp with your group, you’ll be tasked with convincing the Lost Gestrals to return.
These mischievous creatures are scattered across the open-world map that connects the game’s main zones, and uncovering them all requires more than just exploring on foot.
As you progress through the game’s three acts and unlock new Esquie abilities, more areas—and thus more Lost Gestrals—become accessible.
You can track your progress by speaking with Sastro, who also grants new abilities as you collect more Gestrals.
This guide follows the story’s act-based structure to help you locate the Gestrals available at each stage of the game.
2. Every Lost Gestral Location in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, all nine Lost Gestrals are hidden across the map, always near dungeons but never inside them. You’ll need Esquie’s swimming and flying abilities to access every location.
For simplicity, the table below lists rewards in the order you’re likely to encounter the Gestrals during the main story. Collecting all nine also unlocks the Lost Gestrals trophy/achievement.
| Lost Gestral | Location | Details | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Esquie’s Nest | Found right in front of Esquie’s Nest. | Lune’s Gestral Haircut |
| #2 | Stone Wave Cliffs | Detour right before the dungeon; at the end of the path, past a giant enemy. | Maelle’s Gestral Haircut |
| #3 | White Tree | On an island east of the Yellow Harvest, reachable once Esquie can swim. | Sciel’s Gestral Haircut |
| #4 | Monoco’s Station | After the Forgotten Battlefield dungeon, between two trees near the station. | Paint Break |
| #5 | Coastal Cave | Swim east from Monoco’s Station, located at the back of the island. | Verso’s Gestral Haircut |
| #6 | Red Island | Southwest of Visages, near the face statues, with two nearby mime enemies. | Color of Lumina x3 |
| #7 | The Reacher | After unlocking flight in Act 3, northeast of The Reacher, near a log. | Color of Lumina x3 |
| #8 | Endless Night Sancutary | East side of the map, in a red forest near the dungeon entrance. | Color of Lumina x5 |
| #9 | Endless Tower | On a floating island outside the tower, fly up to reach it. | Pro Retreat Picto |
After finding a Lost Gestral, speak with Sastro—he’s in the camp alcove opposite the Curator—to receive a reward. The specific reward depends on how many Gestrals you’ve returned so far, not the order in which you found them.
Be sure to find at least four early on, as the fourth reward unlocks the Paint Break ability, which removes paint spikes in dungeons and opens up new paths to valuable items and challenges.
Tracking down all nine Lost Gestrals in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a rewarding side quest that grants valuable abilities and unlocks a key achievement, whether you’re chasing completion or just enjoying the charm of these curious creatures!
