While you may come across many different powerful weapons during your expedition to face the Paintress, none of them are as different and powerful as the secret Baguette weapon. Hidden within the game, this unique weapon is a symbolic reward for the most dedicated and persistent players. It’s not just a weapon; it’s a statement, offering a high-risk, high-reward playstyle that can fundamentally “break” the game’s combat system. Today, we will walk you through how to get the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Baguette weapon, what the Baguette is, and all about the special, peculiar powers it offers.
What is the Baguette Weapon?
The Baguette is a unique, secret weapon available in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a Void-based weapon with a specific Baguette version for each of the five playable party members. Unlike other gear, this item cannot be found during a normal playthrough. It is an exclusive reward designed to give you a powerful, yet abnormal in nature, weapon for your journey through the world of Lumière.
How to Get the Baguette Weapon in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
To get the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Baguette weapon, you need to unlock it in New Game Plus mode. This weapon type is available for each of the five party members, but acquiring them all requires a specific and prolonged effort.
To acquire the Baguettes, you must first possess the 3 Festival Tokens from your previous playthrough. You must save these tokens from your initial playthrough and carry them over into your NG+ run.
Then, in your NG+ run, you must head to the Boulangerie bakery shop in Lumière. It is located on the street before you reach the main square with the large central statue.
Once you are standing next to the table outside the shop, a button prompt will appear. Each time you interact with this prompt, you will redeem one of your Festival Tokens for a Baguette weapon. And you must cycle between your three active party members to acquire a new one for each character.
The problem is that you can only collect three Festival Tokens in a single playthrough. This means after redeeming the three tokens you brought into your first NG+ run, you will need to complete the game a second time and begin a “NG++” run to get the final two tokens and redeem the remaining Baguettes.
The Baguette itself is a Void-based weapon with unique scaling, boasting an ‘A’ in Vitality and an ‘S’ in Agility. It also features three distinct special effects:
- Level 4: Kill self on battle start
- Level 10: Revive with 100% health. Once per battle
- Level 20: Play first.
These special effects make the weapon a high-risk, high-reward tactical tool, making it a reward for players who enjoy deeply optimizing their character builds and experimenting with the game’s combat systems.
