How to defeat the Tisseur boss in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
The Tisseur boss is:
- Weak against Fire and Light Damage
- Resistant against Dark, Earth, and Ice Damage
This means you have to use a combination of Fire and Light Damages to take this boss down. Lune is one of the best characters to defeat Tisseur. Thanks to her Fire Rage, she can deal more Fire Damage to the boss, which is one of the most crucial factors in taking Tisseur down.
The boss starts the battle by using the Cursed status effect on a character. The problem with this status effect is that as soon as it expires, it will kill the affected character at the end of its duration. To counter this, you have to end the battle before the eighth turn. Once you die, the curse gets removed.

Along with that, Tisseur has three attack patterns: Swipe Combo, Glissando Attack, and Smash Attack.
In the Swipe Combo, the Tisseur will start by pulling back its right fist before delivering a left-sided slam (twice in quick succession), followed by a brief pause, and then an upward swing. Soon after, it switches to its left fist and starts with right and left swings. You have to follow the movement of the boss’s arm minutely and use Parry to counter the strikes.
In the Glissando Attack, watch out for the moment when the boss starts floating. You can use either Parry or Dodge to counter this attack, depending on your timing.
In the Smash Attack, your cue is when Tisseur’s head comes forward. Immediately Dodge or Parry, and the boss will be defeated. You have to make sure your timing is good and quick.
