The Esoteric Ruins is an optional area in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 found near Old Lumiere. This area doesn’t have any combat encounters, but there is a side quest, a maze, and a Paint Cage found among these shadow-bathed ruins. Paint Cages are small puzzles that players can come across while exploring the game’s world. Locked within these shining orb-shaped prisons are some of the best rewards in the game. Players will want to know how to open the Paint Cage to get the rewards found inside. Luckily, I can point players who are having trouble finding or opening this cage in the right direction! This guide will show players how to find and unlock the Esoteric Ruins Paint Cage in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Esoteric Ruins Paint Cage Location in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
There is only one Paint Cage in the Esoteric Ruins and it can be found after 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. Across a small jump is the Paint Cage.
To open Paint Cages, you have to shoot 3 orbs that are found near the cage. One of the orbs is in the gap that you jumped across to reach the Paint Cage. You can find the other orb by going to the entrance of the nearby maze and looking to the right. The last orb is on the cliff to the left of the maze entrance. Once you’ve shot all 3 orbs, the cage will disappear and you will be able to pick up the Chroma found inside.
You can now find and unlock the Paint Cage found in the Esoteric Ruins area of 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.
