Whether you’re seeking fast travel points, hidden weapons, Pictos, boss fights, or NPCs, each part of Old Lumiere requires attention.

Getting To Old Lumiere
After recruiting Monoco, leave through the portal that stands opposite the station. Your path continues northwest. The terrain soon shifts, leading into the streets and ruins of Old Lumiere.
All Boss Fights in Old Lumiere
Required: Renoir
Renoir is part of the main storyline. He has no specific elemental weakness, and the battle hinges on timing. He often fakes his attacks in mid-combo, making early dodging essential. Learn his movement gradually before committing to aggression. His Gradient Attack ends most of his sequences.
If he summons petals, destroy them immediately. Leaving them on the field allows Renoir to recover health later, which extends the fight unnecessarily.
Optional: Chromatic Danseuse
Chromatic Danseuse changes her elemental stance based on the damage you deal. If struck by Fire, she may switch to Ice, reversing her weakness and absorption. Be cautious when parrying with elemental weapons, as you may heal her instead.
Expect fast projectiles early. Their attack rhythm follows a pattern: 1 > 1 > 2 > 2 > 1. Wait for each projectile to solidify before dodging or parrying. During the Gradient Fall move, use a Gradient Counter when she begins to descend.
Rest Points for Fast Travel
Fast travel becomes available through Expedition Flag rest points. You’ll find these checkpoints at important stages in the area:
- Entrance: Just after entering Old Lumiere.

- Left Street: Appears when the story shifts to Maelle, Verso, and Noco.
- Manor Garden: Unlocks as Maelle reaches the Manor.
