In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, camping is more than just a rest stop—it’s your central hub for character development, resource management, and deepening party relationships. Mastering the camp system is essential for progressing through the game efficiently.
How to Unlock the Camp Function
To access the camp feature, you must first defeat the boss Eveque during Act 1: Gustave. Once accomplished, you’ll unlock the ability to set up camp anywhere once you are in the overworld by pressing the designated button (for example, it’s going to be ‘G’ on PC and appears in the bottom left-hand corner).
