Once you have rescued Maelle and she joins you during the Flying Waters level in the game, you will be facing a challenging boss fight before you can progress to the next region.

If you need it, use Recoat to reset and respec skills in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to unlock healing abilities and Electric Spells on Lune and Gustave. This will come in handy during the actual Goblu fight. Now, you can head into the arena and watch the small cutscene preceding the battle.

Let's go over some key details you will need to know about fighting Goblu in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

• Goblu can perform jump attacks that need to be prevented by dodging or parrying. The parry window is extremely short, so make sure to dodge instead.
• Successfully parrying the jump attacks three times will allow you to unleash a powerful counterattack that will take a chunk out of the boss's Health Bar.
• Electric Spells come in Handy against the boss as it is weak to them. This will allow you to quickly fill its Break Gauge.
• During the battle, Goblu will summon flowers that it will use in the coming turns. Shoot the glowing areas around these plants to kill them.
• You should save the Overcharge skill on Gustave till you have enough charges or till Goblu's Break Bar is full. If you use it when the latter condition is met, you will be able to stun the boss for one turn as well as deal devastating damage.
• At the end of the battle, Goblu will summon a lot of flowers. Again, the strategy is to shoot them down before the boss can use them.

Defeating Goblu in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will give you Shape of Health x1, Polished Chroma Catalyst x1, and Chroma Catalyst x3.
