Once you make your way through the Ancient Sanctuary and reach the Gestral Village, you will meet Golgra, who will inform you of a mysterious being called Esquie.

Make your way to the next area and talk to Esquie. He will ask you to retrieve his stone, which was stolen by his neighbour, Francois. Defeating Francois will allow you to retrieve Esquie's stone, which you can take back to him.

Now simply follow the road and exit the Esquie's Nest, and you will be able to mount him and explore the map.

Ability 1: Breaking Corals

The first of the Esquie abilities in Expedition 33 will allow you to break through corals. You will obtain this after exploring Old Lumiere. In the destroyed remains of the city, you will come across many challenges and get the opportunity to face Renoir in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for the second time.

Defeat him and continue the story to see Sciel handing over the second stone to Esquie, unlocking his ability to swim through Corals.

Ability 2: Flight

Flight will be unlocked at the very end of Act 2. During your battle with the Paintress, Verso will give Esquie another stone, which will allow him to fly. Unfortunately, as soon as you defeat the boss, you will be forced into cutscenes. Thus, you can only use Esquie's flight ability after starting the third act.
