For Expedition 33's One Year Anniversary, I highlight one of the biggest efforts that has come out of a year of speedrunning this game: Figuring out how to beat and cheese the 4 Superbosses in the Endless Tower. This video explains the build and strategies that speedrunners use to take down all 4 superbosses as efficiently picking up as few resources and detours as possible and using less than 300 lumina builds on Maelle and Lune.

The order I'll cover each boss is Clea Unleashed, Chromatic Lampmaster, Duollistes, and Simon The Divergent Star

The single use of Gustave’s Homage against Chromatic Lampmaster is probably the most poetic thing ever

Renoir, as final boss, waiting in Luminere for the party, after they have defeated all superbosses. Poor Renoir.....

Starting this game blind was really funny to me because I never in a million years foresaw Maelle becoming my "nuke" character and superboss annihilator. It's crazy how every other party member is broken in some way with the right setup but Maelle outclasses them all from sheer damage, closest I got to Maelle numbers in terms of "fuck you" damage was with Lune and Verso and even then they fell utterly short

I gotta say this is genuinely insightful as I was struggling to comprehend how to tackle the tower super bosses. I found builds for before the update but whenever I tried them on anything in the tower I felt like I was back in act 1 doing no damage. Good work and a big thanks to the dedicated players in the community.

This is such a cool side of YouTube. These videos are very interesting for non speedrunners. Seriously tomatoanus, summoning salt and this legend all make speed running content but it’s all soo different and amazing

These strats are so crazy. How do people even come up with this stuff. Absolute cinema!

Visual representation of the Lune pictos and damage is so good as well

This is some of the most insane, cracked stuff I’ve ever seen from the game. Love every bit of it, please do more of this with other games

@lnkmstr1046 4 months ago

Wonderful video, Bdud! You can absolutely see the time, effort, and care that went into this. I’ve enjoyed E33 even more through your content and I’m always in awe of your knowledge. Congrats on all the success you’ve had, and may more come your way!

Speedrunning the game to simulate how fast Verso and Maelle actually move

@mhmh7734 4 months ago

absolutely love these well made “speed run explained” videos.

unfortunately they are quite niche, but I think I speak for all of us that we would to see more on other games/categories \(^o^)/

I'd love to see the open world routing explained video

@randfarris6064 4 weeks ago

Good job what a great game I need to play it again with a build that you have made

@johnpetrila4823 3 months ago

Excellent breakdown and editing; fantastic work by you and Zero in the number-crunching trenches. Verso taking one for the team and getting forcibly thrown on the healing grenade was hilarious. I'm definitely going to use some of these strats on my current replay through the game, as well. I already parried Clea Unleashed over 300 times when I first beat her; I think I'm allowed to just drop a bomb on her head this time around. Cheers!

I opened this tab 10 days ago, having never played the game. I beat the game today and started exploring. Still had to look up super bosses... And I still struggle getting 500k damage in a fight. I KNEW there was more I was missing.

@TheBaselessMountain 4 months ago

i was so burnt out after chormatic lampmaster and dualliste that i didn't have the energy to defeat either clea or simon, but now i feel like i have a chance if i implement some of the strats used in this vid
