Introduction
Getting through the Frozen Hearts section in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 can be confusing—especially for first-timers. This part of the game acts as a real checkpoint for how well you understand the layout and mechanics. If you’ve been stuck wandering around the Monokco Station area, unsure where to go next or how to reach each flag, you’re not alone.
This walkthrough is made for beginners who want a simple, no-nonsense breakdown of how to complete the Frozen Hearts route. From finding the entrance to grabbing all three flags, to facing the final boss—this guide covers every step clearly. You’ll learn exactly where to go, which turns to take, how to use hooks and ropes effectively, and how to avoid common mistakes that get players stuck.
Getting Started: Finding Frozen Hearts from Monokco Station
When you first land in Monokco Station during Act 2 of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, your next destination is the Frozen Hearts instance. You don’t need to interact with anything complex here—just locate the entrance and move out.
-
Open your map to pinpoint the Frozen Hearts entry point. It’s visible near the station area.
-
From the spawn point, run straight and avoid following the railroad tracks.
-
Instead, veer slightly right into a new path that leads into the snow-covered area.
This zone is designed to test your movement and awareness, so expect a few tricky turns ahead.
Flag #1 Location: Simple Route with a Hidden Path
The first flag is straightforward to find:
-
Keep running along the main trail. You’ll reach an open zone that has a small passage ahead.
-
Continue moving forward until you spot a flag placed on a slight incline—this is Flag #1.
-
From here, don’t follow the railroad path. Instead, head slightly left into an off-road area.
You’ll reach a narrow cave entrance, which many players overlook. Go through this cave to continue your journey.
Flag #2 Location: Cave Exit and Rope Climb
After exiting the cave, you’ll find yourself at a steep elevation with a rocky path upward.
-
Look for a small climbable ledge to your left and move up.
-
Keep going straight and you’ll spot a rope—use it to climb to the next level.
-
This path leads you through a narrow platform area. Use your hook to cross over a gap.
Here’s where many players get confused: the layout makes it seem like a dead end. Don’t drop down.
-
Instead, move left and climb up again using the surrounding rock.
-
You’ll reach a ledge with Flag #2 standing right in front of a tunnel.
Reaching Flag #3: Avoiding the Wrong Turn and Hook Use
Now it’s time to hit one of the trickiest areas in Frozen Hearts.
-
Enter the tunnel behind Flag #2. Once you exit, you’ll see a blue creature up ahead.
-
Behind it, look slightly to your left—there’s a set of train cars and a path that seems closed off.
Here’s what to do:
-
Jump onto the trains using your hook.
-
Climb up from one car to another using hooks and basic movement.
-
At the top platform is Flag #3, marking your progress just before the final stretch.
Next up, we’ll finish off with the final climb, the boss fight location, and the teleport exit.
Final Climb and Merchant Encounter
After grabbing Flag #3, you’re close to finishing the Frozen Hearts instance.
-
Keep moving left from the train platform.
-
You’ll come across the Merchant Defender and the Mind Player, two optional encounters. You can engage them or pass by if you're focused solely on reaching the boss.
Tip: This area is a great checkpoint for preparing—stock up on any needed items from the merchant before progressing.
-
From here, head further upward using your hook once again.
-
You’ll face a minor enemy on the way—defeat it or lure it out of the path.
Boss Area and Teleport Exit
Once you’ve cleared the climb, you’ll reach a platform with the Frozen Hearts boss waiting for you.
-
Defeating this boss isn’t required to exit, but doing so grants access to a teleport point.
-
Once the boss is down, activate the teleport and it’ll bring you back outside, right near the entrance of Monokco Station.
This completes your route through Frozen Hearts. You’ve located all three flags, navigated through hidden paths, used ropes and hooks properly, and reached the boss—without getting lost.
Conclusion
