Relationships are a fun way to immerse yourself in games like Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Players don’t have to actively maintain them in RPGs like this one. So, it’s all about maxing out the relationship level for added benefits and trophy hunting. There are five characters in your party who can help you get five trophies/achievements. The trophies/achievements in question will be granted once you reach max level with these characters.

The characters that you can build a close relationship with are Lune, Maelle, Monoco, Sciel, and Esquie. Players are required to reach Level 7 with each of these characters to hit the “max” level. The primary way of doing so is by speaking to all characters at the camp at specific points throughout the story. A growing bond with the party rewards you with cosmetics like outfits and hairstyles, as well as Gradient Attacks.
