How to defeat Osquio in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

Osquio's boss fights Expedition 33 has two phases. Aside from his massive HP pool and quick attacks, the boss fight is pretty easy. Here are a few things worth noting:

  • Upon entering Phase 2, Osquio's hits will use Barbapapa if they land, so prioritize dodging.

  • Barbapapa causes attacks and skills that deal 1 DMG as long as there is a stack. Use multi-hit attacks for quick takedowns. Aimed shots will not reduce the Barbapapa debuff.

  • After you defeat Osquio in stage 2, he will launch a Gradient attack that can destroy a team. Don't forget to time the transition counter; otherwise you lose the fight.
