In this guide, we shall go over the Gestral Race in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and everything you need to know about it.

The world of Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is grim, tragic, and unfairly brutal. Yet, amidst all this negativity, it also makes time to ensure the player always has an outlet for fun. These outlets come in the form of bizarre (yet cute) swimsuit costumes, minigames, and more. The Gestral Race is one such minigame in the game.
The Gestral Race requires you to race against the clock and complete a circuit course. The faster you complete the course, the better your ranking—and the cooler the reward you obtain. The race is absolutely worth attempting and acing, as the rewards are well worth your time.
The race itself can be fairly challenging. While it may look easy at a glance, the game’s movement mechanics may feel a little janky at times, leading to frustrations in acing the race. If you’re struggling to get a high rank in this race, we’re here to help. In this guide, we shall go over the Gestral Race in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and everything you need to know about it.

This will maintain your momentum and keep you moving fast.
