Lampmaster Boss
This fight with Lampmaster will be mostly similar tothe one you encountered in Stone Wave Cliffs at the end of Act I, while having more health and being generally stronger than before.
Weakness: None
Resistant: Light
Recommended Level: Level 70
Lampmaster Moveset
Lampmaster performs a strange ritual with its lamps.
Lampmaster will light its four lamps in a specific sequence, free aim shooting the lamps in the order they lit up will cancel the massive sword of light attack.
Lampmaster performs a flying combo.
A slow 4-hit combo, on the last hit Lampmaster retreats and then lunges forward, so be ready for the slight hesitation. The pattern speed isSlow > Slow > Slow > Slow.
Lampmaster throws a vast ball of light at the Expedition.
A slow ball of light that can be jumped, it’s pretty easy to see coming. Just jump when you see the cue on screen.
Lampmaster attacks with each arm.
This is a 7-hit combo using all of its limbs, including its hands and swords. The pattern speed isSlow > Slow > Slow > Slow > Slow > Normal > Normal.
Lampmaster attacks with a massive sword of light.
A strong attack that Lampmaster does after performing its strange ritual. Be careful parrying this one as it can insta-kill you. It has a long buildup, but the pattern speed isNormal > Normal > Normal > Normal.
Another thing to consider with Lampmaster is that it can inflict the party with Dizzy as well as its melee attacks, being able to apply blight to the party. If this is giving you trouble, you should consider equipping your party with Anti-Blight Pictos or Lumina if you already have them.
Thankfully, with this boss happening this late into the game, you should have access to a lot of Picto’s, Lumina’s and Skills to dispose of Lampmaster. You’ll mostly just be watching out for its attacks and learning its patterns, while paying attention to taking out its lamps whenever the Lampmaster performs its strange ritual.
It’ll always be better to parry and counterattack the boss rather than dodging, so try and follow along with the attack pattern speed that’s been laid out for you. Counterattack damage is very valuable in this fight.
This isn’t the case with every attack though. As with “Lampmaster attacks with each arm,” it may be better to dodge as it’s 7-hits and can be a bit tricky to parry all at once. As with most bosses in the entire journey of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, pay attention to sound cues to better help you understand when to go for a parry or dodge if you’re struggling.
