Once your party is in the Stone Wave Cliffs, you will spot a Paint Cage sealed by some brambles. These Paint Cages are essentially chests filled with valuable items, and this one contains the Duenum. You can find several of them scattered across the Continent, and Clair Obscur Expedition 33 offers a great opportunity to test your shooting skills on them. To unlock a Paint Cage, shoot and break all the locks, and it will open for you to loot its contents.

The Duenum is a long melee weapon with a pink sheen and a few spikes. It can be upgraded like the rest of your party’s gear and has plenty of cool perks for Maelle. These are the perks you get for upgrading the weapon:

  • Level 4: In Defensive Stance, gaining AP also gives 1 AP to allies.
  • Level 10: If Stanceless, Base Attack switches to Defensive Stance.
  • Level 20: +1 AP on Stance switch.

The Duenum Can Benefit the Entire Party in Combat

Maelle is one of the main attackers and is probably the strongest member of Expedition 33. With this weapon, she can give her allies extra action points whenever she changes her stance. It is a small detail that can go a long way, especially in tough battles. This is a brief rundown of the Duenum’s perks and benefits:

If you prefer to keep changing stances while gaining more action points, the Duenum is a good option for Maelle. It can keep her covered from more powerful attacks after she uses a basic attack, and if she has no stance equipped. The best part about this is that her allies can reap the benefits with extra action points for a strategic advantage.
