How to complete the Diving Board minigame in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

The Diving Board minigame in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is one of those challenges that looks simple at first and then quietly eats up your time if you’re not careful. You'll run into it early while exploring Verso’s Drafts after the GOTY update, and while the rewards are worth it, the execution needs patience and very precise movement.

That said, here is how to find and complete the Diving Board minigame in Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

Where to find the Diving Board minigame in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

You’ll find the Diving Board minigame in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 near the Gestral Baths Expedition Flag in Verso’s Drafts. Before anything else, make sure you meet these conditions:

• You’ve cleared Act 2 of the story
• You’ve unlocked Esquie’s flying and underwater diving abilities

Once that’s done, here’s the route to follow:

• Open the map and check your position relative to Lumiere
• From Lumiere, head to the new area to the right, across the water
• From the first checkpoint inside Verso’s Drafts, go straight toward the water
• Drop down once you spot Esquie statues on the right

Ahead, you’ll see a diving board with a small Gestral blocking it. Hit the Gestral to knock it away and activate the minigame. Before jumping, make sure to grab the Level 29 Esquiaro weapon for Monoco, which sits at the end of the board.

Diving Board minigame guide in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

You must jump into three hoops, one at a time, from the diving board. In practice, the timing and positioning get tougher with each jump. If you miss a jump, there’s a rope nearby that lets you climb back up and retry without resetting anything.

Jump 1: Yellow hoop (easy start)

The yellow hoop is the largest and the easiest to land in.

• Walk to the edge of the board
• Jump normally
• Aim straight down

Once you land inside it, talk to the Half-baked Gestral nearby to claim your reward.

Jump 2: Blue hoop (moderate difficulty)

The blue hoop is smaller and positioned further away.

• Climb back up using the rope
• This time, jump from the right side of the board
• Adjust slightly mid-air if needed

It may take a couple of attempts, but it’s manageable with patience. After landing successfully, speak to the Gestral again.

Jump 3: Red hoop (the hard one)

The red hoop is where you can get stuck. It’s small, unforgiving, and requires near-perfect execution. Tips that can help you:

• Avoid using Monoco or Lune due to their floaty movement
• Stick with Maelle
• Don’t sprint the entire board
• Stop near the end, then line yourself up with the leftmost corner

Timing matters more than speed here:

• Don’t jump while already on the board
• Run forward and jump at the last possible second, just as the board ends
• Once airborne, look straight ahead
• Gently adjust your fall by nudging toward the center of the hoop

You’ll often land on the hoop instead of inside it if you jump too early. When everything lines up, you’ll drop cleanly through and complete the Diving Board minigame in Clair Obscur Expedition 33.
