Fast travel in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 only allows players to travel between different areas of the same region. To travel across different regions, players must traverse the Continent map manually. While you start exploration on foot, you will unlock Esquie after completing the tournament in the Gestral Village. This greatly improves the speed and efficiency. 

However, Esquie offers more than just land travel. By unlocking Esquie’s different abilities, you can swim, dive, and even fly through the different regions of the world. This guide explains all Esquie abilities and how to unlock them in Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

Although Esquie features different abilities, they are tied to mysterious rocks. Delivering these rocks to Esquie unlocks new traversal abilities. While the first three abilities are obtained through story progression, the Underwater Diving requires extra effort. 

Swim

Esquie’s Swim ability can be unlocked by completing the Stone Wave Cliffs storyline in Act 1. This rewards you with the rock, Florrie, allowing Esquie to swim across the ocean to reach new locations and islands. 

Swim Through Coral Reefs

While swimming across the different regions, some pathways are blocked by coral reefs, restricting your progression beyond that point. That’s where the Swim Through Coral Reefs ability comes in, which lets Esquie get past these obstacles by breaking them. This can be unlocked by completing the Old Lumiere storyline. 

Fly

Apart from swimming, Esquie can fly through the air, opening areas that were previously inaccessible. However, some of them are extremely dangerous. While extremely useful, this can be accessible only during the late game. Defeating the Paintress as a part of the main story unlocks the flying ability for Esquie.

Underwater Diving

Ultimately, Esquie can dive underwater when he gets Urrie, which requires you to raise Esquie’s relationship from level 5 to 6. Upon reaching Act 3, talk with Esquie at the camp to initiate the quest where you need to defeat Francois. Completing the quest unlocks underwater diving ability, opening deeper underwater regions. You can also obtain various resources and upgrade materials by interacting with the glowing blue spots on the water.
