In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, there’s a festival event early on in the city of Lumiere. During this prologue section, you can collect three Festival Tokens.
These are used to trade for cosmetics, a useful item, or a special Pictos. It’s not obvious at first how to get all three tokens, so this guide breaks it down clearly.
Here’s where to find each Festival Token and what you can do with them.
Where to find all three Festival Tokens in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Festival Token 1

Festival Token 2
Image via Kepler Interactive Find Antoine, a bald man standing near one of the tents at the festival. He’ll give you a short quiz. You can try as many times as needed, but here are the correct answers to save time:
- Q1: How many years ago was the Fracture? → 67 Years Ago
- Q2: Which was the first expedition? → Expedition Zero
- Q3: What is a Lumina? → Abilities you internalise by using a Pictos in battle after enough times
Answer all three correctly, and he’ll give you the second token.
Festival Token 3

If you lose, don’t worry — you can try again until you win.
Where to spend festival tokens in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Once you have all three tokens, you’ll find three vendors lined up near the center of the festival. Each one offers a different item:
Tom
- Tent Color: Green Roof
- Reward: Unstable Pictos
- Description: Augmented Aim
Amandine
- Tent Color: Red Roof
- Reward: Bun Hairstyle for Gustav
- Description: Cosmetic item
Colette
- Tent Color: Blue Roof
- Reward: Old Key
- Description: Unlocks a journal
You can only use one token per vendor, and each item is unique. After spending them, talk to Emma to move on with the main story.
FAQs
Can I miss any Festival Tokens?
- Yes, if you skip Antoine or don’t find Maelle at the docks, you might leave without all three. Luckily, you can still go back before advancing the story.
Can I get more than three tokens?
- No, only three Festival Tokens are available during the festival in the prologue.
What’s the best item to choose with my tokens?
- It depends on your playstyle:
- Go with Tom's Pictos if you want a combat boost.
- Choose Colette’s Old Key if you like unlocking lore and side content.
- Pick Amandine’s hairstyle if you're into cosmetics.
Do the vendors disappear after the festival?
- Yes, once you progress past this part of the story, the vendors (and tokens) won’t be accessible again.
Does the Maelle fight hard?
- Not too tough, but if you lose, you can try again as many times as needed. Make sure to heal up and upgrade what you can before the duel.
