A dedicated gamer on Reddit, known as Recordbreaks, has become a sensation for defeating one of the toughest bosses in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This remarkable feat took over eight hours, involving a jaw-dropping 10,545 successful parries.
While battling Duollistes, Recordbreaks only took a short break for snacks. They shared that the challenge was even tougher because their character, Verso, wasn’t fully optimized for high damage. At level 80, the boss hit with a devastating 200,000 damage per hit. Many fans were amazed by the sheer commitment needed to conquer such a daunting opponent.
Interestingly, throughout the entire battle, Recordbreaks chose not to dodge a single attack. Instead, they opted for the more challenging route of parrying, averaging about 22 parries a minute. One fan remarked, “That’s a full-time job spent for that boss!”
Recordbreaks explained their motivation simply: “Why? Because I felt like it.” Their determination has earned applause from the gaming community, although some suggested a more strategic approach might have been easier.
Duollistes was introduced in the game’s farewell update and is part of the new Endless Tower location, featuring some of the most challenging encounters. This boss fight isn’t typically expected to last as long, even for seasoned players.
Curiously, this isn’t just an isolated incident. Reports show a growing trend of intense dedication in gaming, with players spending countless hours tackling difficult challenges. Research indicates that nearly 30% of gamers set personal records for hours played on tough quests, driven by a mix of achievement and community support.
As the Clair Obscur series wraps up, excitement is building over potential future developments. The developer hinted that there may be more stories within the Clair Obscur universe.
