Omnihanded Entertainmet News | ‘Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’ orchestral concert tour confirmed

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 composer Lorien Testard has confirmed plans for an orchestral concert tour.

Earlier this year, the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack topped the Billboard Classic Album Chart, a vinyl boxset was confirmed while a live performance of ‘Alicia’ from the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase went viral.

Now composer Lorian Testard has confirmed a concert tour is in the works.

A statement from live entertainment production company Bleu Citron Tournées read: “Following the release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and its original soundtrack, we are incredibly excited to announce a unique co-production for the launch of the official French concert series!”

The French gigs will be produced by Bleu Citron Tournées in collaboration with game developers Sandfall Interactive. Both Testard and vocalist Alice Duport-Percier will be involved in the gigs, as will the Curieux Orchestra.

“We are so honoured to be able to bring you our plans for the official regional concerts in France soon, with the potential to explore international dates in 2026,” they added.

“But I’ve loved video game music and listened to a lot of it when I was younger – Zelda, Xenoblade, Nier, and Joe Hisaishi (Studio Ghibli) along with all the French music I’ve grown up with,” he continued. “That music has been part of my life for years, so it’s shaped the way I hear and write music.”

It’s also been confirmed that a Clair Obscur: Expedition movie adaptation is in the works.

Last week, Clair Obscur developers teased a sequel as well as an expansion. Creator Guillaume Broche revealed that Clair Obscur is the “franchise name,” and Expedition 33 is just “one of the stories that we want to tell in this franchise.”

“Exactly what [the sequel] will look like and what the concept will be is still too soon to announce, but what is sure is that this is not the end of the Clair Obscur franchise,” he added.

In other news, the rumoured Call Of Duty live-action film adaptation has finally been confirmed and will reportedly be inspired by Top Gun: Maverick.

How to Unlock End to Dumbest Slumber

In order to tackle the Soundest of Sleepers prophecy in Hades 2, you have to complete three incantations. To access them, you first need to speak to Hypnos whenever you’re in the Crossroads. You need to gift him two bottles of Nectar and collect at least one Poppy, which is obtained by gathering Poppy Seeds and planting them in your garden at the Crossroads. The main NPC that you need to speak to is Medea in Ephyra, which is the first region when you’re attempting a surface run.

Medea is your go-to NPC for this questline.

Completing these steps will unlock the End to Deepest Slumber incantation, which can be accessed from the cauldron. You’ll need one Molly, two Mandrake, and three Poppy flowers to complete it. Once that’s done, you’ll gain a Dream Vapor. Go ahead and gift it to Hypnos, and this will start a dream sequence.

During early access, the Olympic Update added the End to Dearest Slumber incantation. It has the same requirements as the previous one (albeit with an additional Mandrake), and you’ll once again enter Hypnos’ dream sequence. Sadly, this won’t be enough to wake him up, as there’s a third and final incantation.

As with everything in Hades 2, it might take you a few runs to actually see progress with conversations. Make sure to always be speaking to Medea when she’s available in Ephyra, and she’ll eventually unlock the incantations for you. Also, we have a guide covering all material sources in Hades 2 in case you need some help in that regard.

How to Get Soot for the End to Dumbest Slumber Incantation

Once you’ve completed both End to Deepest Slumber and End to Dearest Slumber, you’ll gain access to End to Dumbest Slumber. This requires two Poppy flowers, one Shaderot, and one Soot. The problem is that there’s no indication of where to find Soot.

In short, if you’re wondering how to get Soot in Hades 2, you first need to beat the main story. Without spoiling too much, you must have seen the game’s credits once. Then, you have to do a couple of underworld runs and, when you’re rummaging through the last region before the final boss, make sure to visit the NPC room when it becomes available. It took me three runs until the room appeared, but this may differ on your end. Then, gift at least one Nectar bottle to said NPC.

You won’t be able to get your hands on Soot until you hit the game’s credits.

After speaking to said NPC, they will (quite unceremoniously) give you Soot, as well as a Keepsake. Once you’re back at the Crossroads, go ahead and tackle the incantation. All that is left to do is to gift Hypnos a Dream Vapor and watch another dream sequence. This will conclude the End to Dumbest Slumber incantation, which in turn will finally wake up Hypnos in Hades 2.

Now, go ahead and claim your reward from the Fated List of Minor Prophecies. You’ll receive two Nightmares for your trouble, which is a rare material. If you’re wondering what to use it for, we have an extensive guides hub to answer all of your Hades 2 questions.
