Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 trophies and achievements
Clair Obscur has 56 trophies and a platinum held by 9.3% of players. The figure that explains it is not Simon: Peace At Last is held by 15.5%, and below it sit the journals (11.1%) and the records (11.5%). The real wall is the collectibles, in a game with no per-zone counter.
There is no sudden jump: the biggest drop between two consecutive trophies is 5.5 points, and 27 trophies sit below The End’s 43.2%. The platinum is lost by accumulation, not in one fight.
One playthrough, no difficulty or online trophies. Four missables, two in the prologue. Between 50 and 70 hours.

Common questions about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 trophies
Is the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 platinum hard?
We score it 5 out of 10. The hard part is Simon and Clea, two optional bosses that demand mastering parries and dodges; the rest is persistence.
The figure: 15.5% have beaten Simon, but the platinum sits at 9.3%. What most people leave undone is the journals (11.1%) and the records (11.5%).
How many playthroughs does it take? Do you need New Game+?
One. Difficulty affects no trophy and, loading your save after the final boss, you return to the last flag with the whole map open for clean-up.
New Game+ is not needed and it resets journals and records: pick them up on the first run. It is only useful if you would rather level up by replaying than by repeating fights.
Which trophies are missable in Clair Obscur?
Four. A Peculiar Encounter, the prologue Mime, before heading to the harbour. Maelle, by picking the Truth in her level 6 to 7 conversation. Connoisseur, only if both missable records are missed: the Mime’s and the one from the camp scene after the first Axon. And Aiding the Enemy, if you kill a Nevron before finishing its quest.
Follow The Trail is no longer missable since update 1.5.0, which added another way to get the key for its journal.
