While exploring the mysterious world of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you can encounter a number of optional bosses. Among the most disturbing are the Mimes. These weird enemies aren’t always easy to find, as they often hide away from the main paths, waiting for brave explorers to stumble upon them. Defeating them is no simple task either, but doing so can grant you important rewards, including valuable resources like Pictos or new outfits to customize your characters.
In this guide, we’ll cover the location of every Mime, tips on how to beat them, and what rewards you can expect from defeating them!
All Mime Locations & Rewards in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Here’s a comprehensive list of all currently uncovered Mime encounters, their locations, and the rewards you can earn:
- Lumière Mime
- Location: This one can be found during the Prologue, when you explore Lumière. Head to the harbor. You will know you are in the right location when you see a floating “34” number. Cross the stage where children are performing and head east. You should soon after see the first Mime. BE CAREFUL, if you miss this one during the prologue, you can not fight anymore. However, the reward can be obtained from another source later on.
- Reward: Lumière Music Record
- Grand Meadow Mime
- Location: During Act 1 – Gustave, once you reach Grand Meadow and face the Expedition Flag, you will have to head left to a lone Lancelier is. If you follow the path there, you should reach another platform with the grapple where the Mime is located.
- Reward: The Baguette outfit for Gustave and a Haircut for him.
- Flying Waters Mime
- Location: When you enter Flying Waters, head to Lumiéran Street, and left through the seaweeds. Don’t climb the wall, and instead follow the path until you reach a second wall. This time, climb up, and you will see the Mime.
- Reward: A Short Haircut for Maelle.
- Ancient Sanctuary Mime
- Location: Near the Sanctuary Maze Expedition 63 flag, you will see a path leading right, where there is a small opening under fallen tree branches. Continue right until you can go under a rock. Once on the other side, go left until you spot an open area with a broken Hut in the middle. The Mime is hiding behind it near the windmill.

- Reward: A Braid Haircut for Maelle.
- Frozen Heart Mime
- Location: This one is a bit more tricky to find. It is located on the highest level above the crater at the center. When you are in the crater, find a pillar, and climb to it. From there, you can use the grapple to climb up the frozen train cars until you see a Gestral merchant. The Mime should be sitting by some boxes on the right.
- Reward: A Short Haircut for Lune.

- Reward: A Clea Haircut for Maelle.
- Sunless Cliffs
- Location: As soon as you arrive in the zone, follow only the path right. Once you reach a cave, interact with the portal inside. Similar to the previous zone, this is a high level area. We recommend you take on this challenge after reaching level 90-95.
- Reward: Bald Haircut for all Characters, and the One Pictos.
How to Defeat Mimes
Luckily, all the Mimes have the same move sets, making them rather easy to defeat once you understand how they work. Here is a quick breakdown of the mechanics:
- Barrier: When the fight starts, the mime will put up a barrier that reduce the damage it takes. You will have to break it if you want to deal decent damage.
- Hand-to-Hand Combo: The Mime will hit three times. It is a rather slow movement, which allows you to do a perfect parry and deal massive damage.
- Hammer slam: The Mime will summons an invisible hammer and slam it toward you multiple times. The first two hits are extremely fast, and the last two hits are very slow. Try dodging the first two, as it easier than trying to parry fast attacks. After that, you can parry the other two slow attacks.
