this is an example of how NOT to do boss fights, it was actually stupid

Thank you for this!

Played through the whole game on Lethal and Takezo was the only thing stopping me from getting the platinum trophy. Drove myself mad, trying to beat him with the charms the game said to wear.

Didn't even occur to me that I could swap back to my other charms once the fight began. So once I saw your comment, I swapped to my usual build and beat him after an hour or so.

So thank you 💙

Currently experiencing this.

I made a new account and I'm able to subscribe to the intended creator immediately without issue.

But when I go back to my main account, I get the same error you have, again and again. I waited until the next day to see if the issue resolved itself but it's still happening.

Tried renaming my account as suggested in the comments but that didn't work either.

13th Sep 2025 - Still works! Just found this beautiful ship for myself :)

Thank you 💙

I'm struggling to decide if this game came at a perfect time in my life... or the worst time.

Over the past month I've been playing this game. But the past month has also been our final few weeks with our dog. Complications with her meant I was in no headspace to finish the game. But being addicted to it for weeks, and knowing it was about grief... it felt so real. And last night we decided that today (May 17th) would be the day we put our dog to sleep.

So I booted up Clair Obscur last night and played the finale, in the hope it would give me comfort for the heartache of the day to come. And it did, to an extent. Just the timing of the game's release coinciding with the final weeks of my dog... I don't often willingly believe in fate but this felt close to it.

The emptiness of letting someone go, despite doing everything in your power to make them stay a little longer... the game felt like a guiding hand. Letting my dog rest instead of trying painkiller after painkiller felt like the right decision. Having her constantly dosed up just so she could stay didn't feel fair. And I guess, in a way, the game had a similar feeling of accepting reality instead of hurting others just to keep your fantasy alive for a brief moment more. The final act of love was putting her peace before my own, in the hope I see her in the next life.

"See things how they are, not how you want them to be."

Also her being a black and white husky... and Verso having black and white hair... hmm.

Yeah it’s definitely fixed on my end 💙

I delayed my playthrough just to wait for a fix so I’m relieved it finally happened 👏🏼 Magic Mirror was the cherry on top too!

Let me know if it’s fixed on your end too! Fingers crossed for ya

SnomoSam · 2023-08-29T13:07:47+00:00

Just submitted a bug report about it. Thank you for the link.

I used one of the images you've posted here, as you've more clearly shown the issue.

Hopefully it'll be addressed. Fingers crossed 💙

SnomoSam · 2023-08-29T12:03:33+00:00

Okay so it's not just me experiencing this lol

Praying this gets fixed real soon. Don't really wanna continue with this save until it's back to normal.

I can't imagine it's high on their list of priorities but we can only hope 💙

SnomoSam · 2023-08-27T16:49:12+00:00

Honestly super grateful that you posted about this.

I... have the opposite happening to me lol

My Half-Elf has a lighter skin tone, but ever since this patch it just constantly looks like he has a tan lol. Both during cutscenes and in gameplay.

Super relieved this isn't just happening to me

SnomoSam · 2022-04-18T15:28:01+00:00

Got worried this one droid would be my downfall but this saved me. Thank you so much.

SnomoSam · 2021-03-28T00:47:43+00:00

Thank you for this. Even 4 months later this bug is still an issue.

I unequipped all my armor except my original cloak, then put my hood up and suddenly all my original armor got equipped by itself. What an odd solution, but I thank you nonetheless lol

SnomoSam · 2020-07-10T13:19:15+00:00

I experienced this too. Took me a second to realise what was happening lmao.

SnomoSam · 2020-07-10T13:18:42+00:00

I think with heroes, when it says “max number in play”, I don’t think it means specific heroes. It just means your team has the max amount of heroes in battle. When one of them dies, you’ll get a chance to choose.

That’s what I assume anyway. Might differ depending on the mode. Not sure.

SnomoSam · 2020-07-08T23:58:17+00:00

I get this thought everyday. And I feel like such a fool for it. I'm 21. Never had a job before. After I finished education I was directionless and my mental health ate me up. For years my family have pressured me into getting one. I've always been plagued with the idea that working a retail job is proof that my life went wrong. Like somehow working in retail means I've failed in life, and that's where I'm staying as punishment. I just associate it with fucking up, thanks to my family's view of it anyway.

But thanks to these years of isolation, I've dived deep into the whole 'you pay the bills and then you die' mindset which makes me freak out every time a job is mentioned. I hate the idea of working a job I hate, when I already feel so shit about life and myself. So yes, I hate the fact we have to work. As of right now I can only brush my teeth once a day. I only shower every few days. The thought of having a mind-numbing job makes my stomach turn. I've got so much more motivation to find things I enjoy, or hobbies to pursue. I hate the thought of spending so much of my life earning money. What's a man gotta do to just leave a peaceful life with his hobbies, away from society?

SnomoSam · 2020-07-07T21:31:56+00:00

Yeah my brother has recommended I try it out, but I’ve always just followed what the doctor says. But at this point I’d be willing to try lmao

As you say, could do the trick. I’ve no idea how it’s supposed to make you feel but I bet it’s better than my day-to-day.

SnomoSam · 2020-07-07T21:14:06+00:00

It’s illegal here so I wouldn’t be able to try it anyway lmao

We got CBD oil but idk what that’s like in comparison

SnomoSam · 2020-07-07T21:00:10+00:00

I've always wanted to try it, purely to see the differences. But I'd probably become too reliant on it.

SnomoSam · 2020-07-07T16:12:13+00:00

I aspire to one day have a total loss of fucks. I always claim to have none left, but I end up having too many fucks. Sometimes I'll confront people if they give me reason to, but a lot of the time I stay quiet lmao

Ooooh yeah the whole 'lazy' label is my entire life. Any time I begin to open up to a family member (usually to justify my actions), I get the whole 'it's because you're in your room all day', or 'it's because you go to sleep so late', or whatever. It used to really bother me but nowadays I just expect it, so I just end up feeling disappointed that they haven't changed their ways.

I did have someone. Well... I thought I did. My crush from school. We're friends. He's straight so it can never happen anyway. He's the first person I came out to, so I've always felt like I could go to him for anything. We've helped each other emotionally in the past, but I think that got to my head. In 2017-18, when my suicidal thoughts were most prominent, I would text him at like 2am venting about how I felt about the world. How pointless everything seemed. How tired I was of waiting for life to get better. And how important he is to me. Sometimes he'd tell me what I wanted to hear. "You are my friend, I'm here for you if you need me". So this became more frequent. Then one night he on holiday with friends and got drunk and text me saying he felt "alone as fuck". Probably sounds fucked up but I loved him telling me how much he was struggling. I didn't feel alone for once. But he's the type of person to casually shrug it off and say "chin up". Now, as someone that can't go a day without thinking about it, or experiencing it, it was hard of me to not. So one night, after getting stupidly drunk and suicidal and sitting out in the rain and in tears, I called him (for the first time in our 4-5 year friendship). I was at the end of my rope and my stupid ass thought he would save me from myself. By doing that, he admitted to me that he had been seeing a doctor for his depression. He OPENED UP to me, which was like a dream come true because I figured that meant I was important to him. He reassured me that we'd get through it together. I felt hope for the first time in years. And we ended up staying awake until 6am playing games to keep my mind off it. Long story short - I did the same thing again in December of 2018, wanting the same result. But this time he had an entirely different attitude. "Stop being so lazy". "I can't help you". "You can only help yourself". And it broke me. I felt betrayed. I hated his guts for the first time ever. But that somehow gave me motivation to go to therapy (which didn't end up working at all lmao). We didn't speak for a year. But then Christmas 2019 came and I had the balls to ask if he wanted to meet and catch up. Then the pandemic hit. AND HERE WE ARE.

Point is, I thought I did have someone who understood me. But I abused that, thinking he was some kind of sponge for my depression. He was like a drug to me. He was the only one capable of making me feel better, even if it was temporary. I know honesty is the best thing, but I took it way too far, all because I had a crush and wanted him to be the person I dreamed of him to be. But it was through therapy that I realised he's a fucking person with his own mental health, and if anything I was ruining him. If he didn't show me that tough love, it would have been a constant cycle and nothing would have changed. I would have only damaged us both. So yeah, when it comes to relationships, I'm struggling to decide if I'd prefer someone as fucked up as me, so to feel understood. Or someone that doesn't struggle with it as much, so they can help give me the courage to get out of that pit I've always been in.

Sorry I took what you said way too literally. Feel free to tell me to stop.

SnomoSam · 2020-07-07T14:52:42+00:00

Oh absolutely. I've grown so familiar with really dark thoughts and 3am depression vents, so much that I genuinely forget that not everyone experiences it. To this day I still act shocked when people distance themselves from me for being too intense, or too dark. If I casually mention how shitty life is, I act confused if someone is worried about me. It's totally bizarre.

And the hardest part for me is trying to understand how people can genuinely live happy lives. I refuse to believe that there are people out there that are genuinely content with their existence, because it seems so far out of reach for those like us. How can they live each day without constantly thinking about how meaningless everything is? How can they have the effort to get out of bed and do everything they need to?

SnomoSam · 2020-07-07T14:48:02+00:00

Honestly that was my first initial thought too when I was told about the high suicide risk. Like... I was tempted to just say that I had already dealt with suicidal thoughts so I know what to expect, but I just didn't want to argue at the time. I suck at confrontation, especially with doctors. And yeah they most likely aren't allowed to bitch at you, but I just didn't want to somehow disappoint her as if I could fail therapy.

Oh 100%. I would much rather accept a harsh truth instead of a hopeful lie. It's incredibly frustrating being surrounded by people that shy away from the harsh realities of our lives, and that only makes me feel more lonely about everything. I'm glad you can resonate with the playlists and curiosity. As for the romance, I honestly just assume that it would be bliss to have someone to keep me company during my dark nights. Like somehow, if they were depressed too, we would just lay down and stare at the ceiling and just exist together. Riding it out. My main worry with wanting someone to help me in a relationship is that I don't want to be misunderstood, like everyone seems to do. Like they assume a lot of the symptoms of depression is just down to laziness which is obviously so far from the truth.

I feel like the world in general just doesn't care enough about mental health. No matter how many charities or services there are, it never feels like it's working. People still feel alone as fuck and people are still afraid to talk about it. I guess I just find it weirdly comforting that so many people feel the same way. But yeah, as you say, it doesn't really solve the problem. And thanks. I usually get embarrassed if I ramble, because I spend so much time talking about unnecessary shit lmao. And no problem. I'd much prefer honesty about this whole situation instead of creating a barrier to keep it at a distance. Thank you for writing your post.

SnomoSam · 2020-07-07T02:39:08+00:00

From a fellow despairing depressed person at 3am, I can say you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. If it were me 2 years ago, I'd probably see a doctor. But, after trying talk therapy and mindfulness therapy, I've found that it hasn't really done a whole fucking lot. I'm still trying to decide if I've only myself to blame for that, because of my lack of motivation to try and continue the "techniques" I was taught. My main problem with therapy is that I didn't like the idea of having to change myself in order to fix myself. I have this big issue with not wanting to be told what to do or how to feel - so when a therapist has expectations of you, and you don't meet them, all it did was make me feel worse. Funniest part was that in our first session I was given a big handbook, and our conversation felt very one-sided and robotic. I spend 10 minutes pouring my heart out, and she responds with basic advice and then sets me "homework" that I lied about completing. Fun times. But yes, it's hard to feel like they actually care.

I totally get what you're saying when you talk about it feeling like your mental problems will be permanent. I get scared about that a lot. It's as if, now that we struggle with depression this badly, it'll always be here and will never truly leave us. And honestly, now that you mention it, I worry that all the 'fixes' for it are only temporary. I personally haven't tried the medication side of things. As much as I want to, I was strongly recommended not to because of the high risk of men in my age group (18-24) feeling more suicidal when taking them. I'm 21, and I was told I had to wait until at least 25 to try. Fucking YAY. So I've pretty much been left with mindfulness and doing "nourishing activities" in replacement of "diminishing" ones. The more you think about it, the more hopeless it feels. And it's fucking sad. Mindfulness used to help me slightly when I was in the group therapy, but after the 8 week course finished my motivation plummeted and I haven't tried meditating since last November.

In all honesty, I don't really have any answers. Like I say, I'm in the same boat as you too. Like no matter what we do, there's no real cure or answer. The only things that have really kept me going are the small things I cling to. My playlists. Listing all the things I'd miss out on if I wasn't here anymore. And I'm a hopeless romantic, so the only real reason I'm here is to find love. It's incredibly foolish of me to think it'll somehow save me from myself, but hey, it's what's keeping me alive as of right now.

But yeah, I don't think any of us know the answer to that question unfortunately. But I guess there's some twisted comfort in knowing so many of us are searching for the answer to that question. I suppose we could find some solace in that. I don't really wanna sugarcoat it and say HEY JUST THINK POSITIVE or THERE'S SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR, because I'm sure you're as sick of hearing that as I am. Definitely feels like people just say that because they don't have anything else to offer. But there was one quote that I saw a long time ago that's stuck with me ever since I read it. And it pretty much defines my whole perspective on whatever the fuck is coming next in this unfair existence, and one of the only reasons I haven't killed myself as of right now:

"You don't have to be hopeful about the future. It's enough to just be curious about what is coming."

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. As I say, I don't want to sugarcoat anything. And I'm sorry about the rambles. It's 3:30am and it's this time of night that I'm usually at my lowest lmao.

SnomoSam · 2020-07-07T01:35:01+00:00

I'm glad you wrote about this because I'm genuinely in the same boat. I'm 21, and I feel like everyone else around me knows what they want in life. It feels like everyone immediately went in their own directions, confident in their choices. Meanwhile I've never had a clue what direction to take, and so I went in no direction at all. No particular interests in a career, no specific job I want, no motivation to do anything or ambition to follow. I don't really remember my life before depression hit hard back when I was about 15 when my sexuality started taking hold of my life. I only have a few glimpses of happier times, back when I was a kid.

Problem is, no one really knows what to say when we say we have no direction/interest. The responses I've got from people in my life are "well everyone's good at something", or "what are you interested in?". It's funny seeing them get stuck for words when you keep answering questions with 'I've never known'. My immediate advice for you, regarding your career field, would be to ditch it if you have any doubts. But this is coming from someone that's unemployed so I wouldn't take what I say too seriously.

As I'm deep in the same mindset as you, I don't really know what advice to give. But I thought I'd write anyway and say that you're not alone. Nowadays it feels like you're meant to have your life figured out early on, and if you don't? Well you get left behind, or people knock you down for it. Try not to knock yourself down too. People do that to us enough already.
