Clair Obscur Expedition 33: Complete Frozen Hearts Walkthrough Guide ~ HaploGamingChef

Getting Started with Frozen Hearts in Clair Obscur

If you're stuck in the Frozen Hearts area during Expedition 33 of Clair Obscur, you're not alone. Many players hit roadblocks when trying to locate all the flags or reach the final boss. This walkthrough is here to guide you through each important step—where to go, what to avoid, and how to find each flag.

You’ll start this route after reaching Monokco Station, which appears in Act 2. Once you arrive, it's possible to access the Frozen Hearts area directly from the station. This guide is designed to help you navigate through tricky paths, caves, and flag checkpoints, all the way to the end boss.

Starting Out: From Monokco Station to Flag 1

As soon as you load into Monokco Station during Act 2, head straight toward the Frozen Hearts region. You’ll spot the entrance easily on your map—it’s one of the more prominent zones.

From the starting point, run straight ahead. You don’t need to follow the railroad tracks.
The path is mostly linear at first, so just keep moving forward.
Shortly after entering, you’ll find Flag 1 without much effort.

✅ Key Tip: At this stage, there’s not much that can go wrong—just follow the basic path forward and don’t overthink your route.

Navigating the Cave to Flag 2

Once you’ve grabbed the first flag, avoid heading toward the train tracks. Instead, shift left toward a cave entrance nearby. This is where some players get lost.

Enter the cave and begin climbing upward.
The elevation changes slightly, but it’s manageable.
At the top of this climb, you’ll reach Flag 2.

⚠️ Watch Out: Many players miss this cave entirely. If you're stuck running in circles, double-check you're not following the railroad and that you’re actively looking for the cave path to the left.

Climbing to Flag 3: Rope and Hook Mechanics

After Flag 2, you’ll need to climb further up to find the third flag, which is hidden behind a slightly more complex vertical segment.

From Flag 2, run left and then quickly veer right.
You’ll come across a rope climb area. Use your climbing skills to ascend.
After the rope section, move toward a gap that you can cross using your hook.

You’ll now reach an elevated area. At this point, many players think they’re stuck, especially if they fall down.

Don’t drop down. Instead, look for a small ledge to climb up again.
Once you’re back on track, continue moving left toward the tunnel entrance.

Here, you'll hit Flag 3, which confirms you’re still on the right path.

🔍 Quick Note: This section filters out a lot of new players. If you fall, retrace your steps using the hook and climb methods again—there’s always a way up.

Entering the Final Stretch: Past the Tunnel

From Flag 3, it might look like a dead end, but it’s not.

Head toward the blue creature blocking the tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel, you’ll see another flag.
Now jump onto the train—this is a required step to continue.
Use the hook again to climb up the trains and reach the next level.

Once you're up there, move left. You'll come across a merchant defender and a mine player NPC. Keep moving forward if your goal is to reach the final boss.

💡 Tip: This section is designed to test your awareness of the game’s vertical mechanics. Hooks and rope climbs will become essential tools for later areas too.

Final Boss Encounter: How to Finish Frozen Hearts

After passing the merchant defender area and climbing further up, you’ll reach the final stretch leading to the boss.

Pull the enemy guarding the upper path to initiate combat.
You’ll likely defeat this enemy the first time through—it's a warm-up before the boss.
Continue pushing upward through the path and you’ll eventually reach the end boss of the Frozen Hearts section.

Once you’ve taken down the boss:

A teleport unlocks at the site of the boss fight.
Use it to return to the exterior area—it brings you right back outside Frozen Hearts.

🎮 Bonus Tip: Be sure to grab any loot or interactables near the boss area before you leave. You won’t be able to come back instantly.

The Frozen Hearts zone in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 isn’t overly long, but it’s packed with sneaky turns, hidden paths, and climb-heavy segments. Players often miss key transitions like the cave near Flag 1, the rope section, or the train climb, leading to unnecessary backtracking.

Here’s a quick summary of what you need to remember:

Start at Monokco Station.

Reach and defeat the final boss to unlock the teleport out.
