Among the rare artifacts in Clair Obscur Expedition 33, the Death Bomb Pictos stands out for its unconventional mechanics. Unlike standard stat-boosting variants, this tactical equipment activates during critical moments, unleashing devastating retaliation when a party member falls. Learn how to acquire it, its combat applications, and ideal loadout scenarios.
Rather than passive improvements, this Pictos transforms defeat into offensive opportunities. Its detonation mechanic inflicts area damage proportional to the equipped character’s stats, making it particularly potent against challenging foes.
Locating the Death Bomb Pictos in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

Adventurers can discover this unique item within Yellow Harvest, an explorable region unlocked after initial story progression. Following encounters with key characters including Esquie at their sanctuary, navigate westward from the Harvester’s Hollow Expedition checkpoint. Traverse descending pathways until discovering the artifact near a steep embankment, guarded by mid-tier adversaries.
Strategic Implications of the Death Bomb Pictos




This tactical gear proves most effective against boss encounters where sacrificing a party member could swing battles. The explosive radius scales with the fallen ally’s combat attributes, potentially eliminating weakened opponents. Consider equipping it on support-oriented characters with lower survivability to maximize strategic advantage.
