Learn how to upgrade your weapons in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! Discover the Curator, required materials, and how weapon leveling works.

Alright, so you've been finding weapons in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, right? Most of the time, the gear you pick up will be pretty much on par with where you are in the game. That means as you push further, the weapons you find will naturally be of a higher level. Sometimes, weapons might even get a random level-up just by being in your inventory while you're fighting new enemies – but honestly, don't rely on that. It's super unreliable and you can't really farm it. If a weapon doesn't get a boost within the first few fights in a new zone, it's probably not going to. You could keep pushing and hope for a lucky upgrade in the next area, but if you're really hurting for more damage, there's a manual way to boost certain weapons.

Here's the deal: to actually upgrade your weapons yourself, you first need to conquer the Flying Waters dungeon. Once that's done, a friendly NPC called the Curator will set up shop in a cave right at your camp. Just chat with the Curator and select the [Upgrade Weapons] option. From there, you can pick which weapons you want to make stronger. Naturally, it's not free – you'll need specific resources, and the amount you need depends on the weapon's current level.

Here’s a breakdown of the materials you'll need:

MaterialMax Weapon Lv
Chroma CatalystLv3
Polished Chroma CatalystLv9
Resplendent Chroma CatalystLv19
Grandiose Chroma CatalystLv32
Perfect Chroma CatalystLv33

So, remember to clear out the Flying Waters dungeon first. Once that's done, the Curator will be waiting at your camp to help you power up your gear!
