In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players can find journals scattered across the game world, one of which is the journal of Simon. Get to know the contents of this journal, where to find it, and more using this guide.
Simon’s journal can be acquired after you defeat him in The Abyss. To get here, you must first max out your relationship with Esquie so you can dive. Once you get the ability, go to Renoir’s Drafts and then proceed until you reach The Abyss.
Take note that Simon is the hardest boss in the game and the acquisition of his journal is part of his substantial rewards.
Simon
More and more of my mind is fading away. I must put my words down on paper before I lose myself entirely.
My beautiful Clea…
What did she do to you? That Paintress… She fooled me, she looked so much like you and I believed her story. She granted me the power to fell the Axons and enter the Monolith.
I realised too late that she had warped my mind, that she had in fact taken you away, locked you somewhere I could never reach, and set me on a path to destroy your future.
But then I met Aline, who showed me that I could save you. With her help, I descended to the bottom of the Monolith, where Aline had sealed Him away. The one who brings the Gommage. The one who threatens our very existence. But his powers are strong and I am finding it harder and harder to fight his influence over my mind.
My mind is breaking. My final thoughts are only of you. And I despair. But one day our suffering will end and we will find our way back to each other. In this life or another.
Collecting Journals is not for naught! Once you collect a good amount, you can exchange them for those tasty Colour of Lumina. And it’s not a small amount either, you can get about 100 Colour of Lumina if you collect enough and exchange them at the Gestral Village. You can find this Gestral by turning left and heading towards the Gestral Bazaar once you pass the village gates.
As they were mostly written by members of previous Expeditions, journals explain a lot about the world of Clair Obscu: Expedition 33. These journals contain discoveries, horrors, and even triumphs of those that went before Expedition 33. Collecting them might be optional but if you really want to learn more about the world, you may have to explore a lot while keeping your eyes peeled.
Curious about the best ending for Expedition 33? Wonder know more as we have a handy guide for that.
On the other hand, we can help you in finding the other journals using this handy journal list.
