If you’ve played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, easy GOTY contender, you’ve probably been here at some point. You get a new Pictos, you want to use it, you are short 15-20 Lumina Points per character. Bummer.
Well, there is a solution to that, or rather a pair of solutions in the same location, where you can farm Lumina Points in Expedition 33 essentially consequence free to your heart’s content. This is a late-game farm so you can use it to refine your best builds for tough bosses you may have left, you can use it to prepare for the harder New Game+ before you start it, or you can just do it for fun as a relaxing, mindless farm.
The location is Renoir’s Drafts, where you will fight tougher monsters leading to the hardest boss in the game, eventually. Don’t worry, you’re not farming him (you can’t). Either you can use the first flag to teleport to the second one, or you can hang left and go through a few monster packs until you get to the correct spot. You won’t have to fight those again.
From the flag, you’re looking for two monster packs that have three “Creation” monsters between them. You can use a full team of three so you can come up with the best strategy to nuke them one at a time, or take out the whole batch. The fights will get easier as you farm more. I eventually got a full clear Monoco build that takes both out in one hit, and there are certainly other builds that could do that.

You kill the first duo with one Creation then head over to the other two Creations. Then you head back to the very close flag, rest to respawn, and do it again. This will get you 4x Lumina mats to spend at the flag guaranteed. I usually wait until I get 20 or 30 before dumping them and unlocking specific things I have made “goals” per character.
There is an alternative to this. If you kill the single Creation pack you just go up a ramp and launch onto the roof. There is a vendor there you can fight in a 1v3 with a character of your choice, and he will drop 1-2 every fight. But mostly 1. The benefit of this fight is that you don’t have to go to a flag, you can just sit there and do it again and again. Personally I found this less efficient, but it’s an easier fight if you have all the solo boost Pictos on and a halfway decent build and a couple dodging skills. You can end it in a turn or three usually.
That’s my advice! I’m still doing this and will start NG+ soon as I’m sort of running out of core Pictos passives I need. Have fun!
