Quick tips
Prologue: Lumière
Explore the prologue thoroughly
The prologue is the densest source of one-time rewards, so explore everything before you leave Lumière. There is nothing to build yet, so spend your effort on collecting.
Prologue: Lumière
Talk to the crowd
Talk to everyone in the crowd for extra dialogue. You start as Sophie and can switch to Gustave on the fly.
Prologue: Lumière
Spend Festival Tokens
Use your Festival Tokens at the three Expedition Festival booths. The red roof gives a Bun Haircut, the blue roof gives the Old Key and the green roof gives an unstable Pictos.
Prologue: Lumière
Beware the harbor point of no return
Approaching the harbor as Sophie triggers a point of no return. It leads to a cutscene and then the Expedition Fair, so finish everything else first.
Things you can miss
Optional quests, items or choices you can lose access to by progressing past a point. Guides often call these “missables”.
Mime and its music record
Can be lost after: Prologue: Lumière
Defeat the optional Mime at the harbor before leaving Lumière. It unlocks the A Peculiar Encounter trophy and the first Lumière music record.
Crimson Uniform
Can be lost after: Prologue: Lumière
Talk to Richard (red suit, Flower Market) for his son's uniform, then find Jules at the Expedition Festival. Per Destructoid, you must talk to Jules before Emma's speech.
Recoat
Can be lost after: Prologue: Lumière
Win Nicholas's duel by dodging Sophie's attacks six times in a row. The Recoat reallocates a character's Attributes and Skill Points.
Chroma Catalyst and Colour of Lumina
Can be lost after: Prologue: Lumière
Interact with the trash can near Nicholas until the Trash-can Man talks, as a later-game item reportedly depends on it. Also help Eloise by destroying the Punching Ball, which gives the Colour of Lumina.
Old Key and its journal
Can be lost after: Prologue: Lumière
Buy the Old Key from the blue-roof stall before leaving Lumière, or one journal is unobtainable later.
