One of the first side quests you’ll encounter in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the search for Sastro’s nine lost Gestrals. Given the expansive overworld of this turn-based RPG, locating all of them can be challenging. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of each Gestral’s location, helping you complete this quest and earn valuable rewards.
EsquieAlt: The first lost Gestral in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, located near Esquie’s Nest.
Some Gestrals are easily found along the main storyline path, while others are tucked away in secret areas accessible only later in the game. This guide will detail each location, including those requiring specific abilities unlocked in later acts.
Finding the Lost Gestrals: A Step-by-Step Guide
Gestral 1: Esquie’s Nest
The first Gestral is conveniently located right outside Esquie’s Nest, a key location in the main story. After interacting with it, the Gestral will return to your camp. You might even find this Gestral before encountering Sastro, who initiates the quest.
