The white Nevrons you come across in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 aren’t like the other enemies in the game and instead require your help. Many of the areas on the Continent have one of these docile creatures who send the party on a small quest. Upon completing them, players will be given some pretty useful rewards. If players stray away from the story path and explore some of the optional areas of the Continuent overworld, they can find a Bourgeon Nevron, though this one is much smaller and friendlier than the others you will end up fighting. This Nevron wants you to track down some Bourgeon’s Skin to help it become like the others that you can see around the world map. Let me help anyone struggling with finding this skin so that this little guy can grow. This guide will show players how to help the white Bourgeon and where to find Bourgeon’s Skin in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Where to Find Bourgeon’s Skin in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
The white Bourgeon can be found in The Small Bourgeon area to the west of the Flying Waters area. This is a small single room area that has the corpse of a giant Bourgeon in it and a much smaller white Bourgeon underneath it.
You can talk to the small Bourgeon who wants to be big like his dead brother. To do this, it needs to eat Bourgeon Skin.
Bourgeon Skin can be collected by defeating any Bourgeon in the game. These are recurring mini-bosses that can be found at multiple locations. The earliest one you can fight is in the Flying Waters. After going past the Expedition 68: Coral Cave Flag, you will exit the cave and see a giant Bourgeon off in the distance. To reach this enemy, turn to the right and climb the wall at the end of the path. At the top of the wall, the path will split with some buildings and street lamps on the left and a seaweed-covered path on the right. Follow the seaweed path and you will reach a Bourgeon.
The Bourgeon has a pretty sizable moveset but these combos that the boss can throw at you actually just combine several pretty easy to recognize attack patterns. The only difference is that the length of the combo changes the order of the attacks. Once you recognize this, countering the Bourgeon becomes super easy. The Bourgeon has 4 combo attacks: a 3-hit combo, a 4-hit combo, a 5-hit combo, and a “crushing combo” which has a total of 6 attacks.
To counter these combos, you will need to watch for which hand the Bourgeon is using. The Bourgeon’s right hand will perform 3 rhythmic fist slams while the left hand opens with a palm slam and then a fist slam that has a bit of a delay before quickly coming down. The boss also has a head slam where it pulls its head back before quickly slamming it on the ground. These are the moves that are mixed and matched in the combo. The 3-hit combo is just the right-hand attacks. The 4-hit combo opens with the head slam before going into the right-hand sequence. The 5-hit combo is the right-hand sequence before switching over to the left hand. The “crushing combo” is all the moves in one. This combo goes right-hand sequence, left-hand sequence, then head slam. Learn these combos and you’ll be able to counter them in no time.
There are two other moves that you need to look out for. The first one is the Miasma Spit. This will see the Bourgeon shoot out a ball of spit in an arch toward a party member. There will be a total of 4 spits which will change targets during the sequence. The other move is when Bourgeon eats a party member. This cannot be dodged or parried and will remove the party member from the battle. You can get your party member back by Breaking the Bourgeon.
Now that you know how to defend yourself, it’s time to learn how to take down the Bourgeon. This enemy doesn’t have any Resistances or Immunities so any attack will do damage to it, but it is weak to Lightning damage. So, I suggest equipping any Lightning-based weapons and using Lune’s Thunderfall attack to deal massive damage. While dealing Lightning damage, build up Gustave’s Overcharge gauge and use Overcharge to Break the Bourgeon. Once broken, just keep exploiting the enemy’s weakness and you should be able to take the enemy down.
Once the Bourgeon is defeated, you will collect the Bourgeon Skin. Take it back to the Small Bourgeon and give them the skin. They will thank you and tell you to come back later.
You don’t need to wait any time for this quest to progress. Just leave The Small Bourgeon area and then immediately reenter. You will find the once small Bourgeon has grown to full size. Talk to the Nevron and they will thank you. They will then spit up a Colour of Lumina upgrade material as a reward.
You now know where to find Bourgeon Skin and help the white Bourgeon in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Stay tuned to Gameranx for more news, updates, and guides for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as well as other great games in the future.
