To defeat Ultimate Sakapatate in Clair Obscur Expedition 33, begin with a check on your team’s condition. HP should be fully restored. Skills and attributes need a second look, especially if you have gained experience since your last upgrade. Even small changes can give you a tactical edge.

As for Gustave, you might already have a preferred build. Still, here’s one way others have found useful:

  • Weapon: Sakaram at Level 6.
  • Skills/Pictos/Lumina: Augmented Aim, Dead Energy II, SOS Shell.

But your choices don’t have to mirror this. What works in one situation may feel clunky in another. So if a strategy feels off, adjust your gear or skill loadout without hesitation. Testing different combinations often leads to surprising results.

Watch for Visual Cues and Patterns

Ultimate Sakapatate in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 follows patterns you might recognize from earlier foes, but it hits harder. Learning the visual signals behind each attack makes a difference.

  • Cannon Flash: When its cannons blink, prepare to dodge. This moment signals an incoming burst. Perfect timing here gives you space to strike.
  • Electric Attacks: Wait until the last moment before evading. These attacks won’t prove forgiving for early dodges and will sap your health quickly.
  • Shoulder Weak Spot: Pay attention to the moment when this area is vulnerable. It’s a narrow window, and missing it can stretch the fight longer than necessary. Use ‘Aim’ attacks here for the best effect.

Handle Combat With Focused Strategy

You are not trying to outlast the opponent through blind swings. While fighting Ultimate Sakapatate, think of it as a rhythm. You dodge, strike, back off, and repeat.

  • Overcharge at Full: Don’t hold onto it. When Gustave’s Overcharge turns red, use it. Waiting longer can cost you the right moment.
  • Combine with Powerful: If this ability is available and you have enough AP, pair it with Overcharge. The damage output increases enough to tilt the match in your favour.
  • Dodge Over Parry: Unless you are confident in your timing, stick with dodging. Parrying offers high rewards, but also comes with high risk. It’s better to stay in the fight than gamble on counters early in the match.
