The white Nevrons found throughout Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are friendly versions of the many different enemies you find across the Continent. Each of these off-color creatures has small quests that players can complete that will provide both items and lore tidbits as rewards. One of the Nevrons that can be found might not even appear as a Nevron at first, as the white Portier introduces itself as a strange blue orb. To help return this creature to its normal form, you will need to find Wooden Boards in the nearby ruins, which includes having to navigate a strange maze to reach the items. This guide will show players where to find Portier’s Wooden Boards in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Where to Find Portier’s Wooden Boards in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
The white Portier can be found in the Esoteric Ruins, a location found to the west of Old Lumiere’s southern entrance.
After following the path near the entrance of the Esoteric Ruins, you will find a flowing blue orb in the center of the clearing referred to as “???” who doesn’t have any memories and needs help restoring its body. You can do this by finding some boards deeper in the ruins.
You can find the boards by climbing up the wall behind the blue orb that you can talk to and near the Expedition Flag. Use the climbing handles on the wall and once you are on top of the cliff, follow the path ahead and then turn left. You will then be able to drop down to an area below and you will find the entrance to a large maze.
When you enter the maze, you will see several rooms blocked by energy fields. In the center of each of these small, square rooms are altars with glowing orbs on them that, when shot, will open and close specific doors. You will need to shoot the orbs and pass through these rooms in a specific order to reach the other side. Here is the order of rooms and orbs that you will need to pass to reach the exit.
- Shoot the orb in the center of the first room to open the door to the left.
- Go through the left door and then shoot the orb in the first room again to close the door you just came through.
- Shoot the orb in the room that you are currently in to open the door behind the orb.
- Go through the open door and then through the door on the right to enter the room at the center of the maze. Shoot the orb through the door you just came through.
- Shoot the orb in the room to the right of the center room.
- Shoot the orb in the center of the maze.
This will open the path to the end of the maze. Go through the door to the right of the center and then go through the opening behind the orb. In this room, go through the door to the left and you will reach the exit of the maze.
Now that you have the Wooden Boards, go to the left and use the series of grappling points to get back to the other side of the maze and then head back to the blue orb. Talke to the orb and give it the boards to return the Portier back to its normal form. You will be given the Protecting Heal Pictos as a reward for completing this quest. You can talk to the Portier again and learn more about the game’s lore, and you can also decide to attack it if you’d like to get some extra XP and rewards.
You can now find the Wooden Boards for Portier 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.
