SPOILERS

This is a guide on how to build Gustave into axon-killing machine on Act III….

Showcased it at PAX East 2026 in Boston if anyone saw me haha. Also created a mini version just for funzies. (last photo)

Just wanted to share! I made a video explaining how I made this if anyone is interested. The cool part is that Charnon can be disassembled so it could fit in a checked suitcase!

Honorable Mention- William. He was part of the only Expedition before the 33's who managed to find out the truth and the only one who made it that far without the Lumina Converter. They broke past the Gommage barrier without ANY help whatsoever, met the real Renoir, and almost made it back to Lumiére in time.

9/8) Lune and Sciel. Dealt the finishing blows to the Axons, and despite being normal painted humans, thanks to the Lumina Converter they became so strong that they were able to fight the literal gods of that world and survive.

7. Monoco. Same discourse for Lune and Sciel, but as a Gestral, he's biologically stronger, and his ability to turn into Nevrons has formidable potential. Moreover, he has way more experience in both traveling the Continent and fighting, as he was shown to be relative to Verso. Plus he can supposedly come back from the dead (Golgra permitting).

8. Simon. After meeting Clea, he was able to kill an Axon by himself. Maybe it doesn't have narrative relevance, but he can supposedly remove people out of the Canvas.

9. Verso. He's effectively immortal, has incredible experience, and depending on the ending, is able to take down Maelle, who at that point has Painter powers.

10. Maelle/Alicia Dessendre. Although she has Painter powers, she's pretty weak compared to the rest of her family.

11. Renoir Dessendre. Author of the Gommage, with the help of Clea he stalemated Aline for years and slowly removed her creations from the Canvas. Created the Axons and the surrounding creatures. It took the 33's at their absolute best state and a weakened Aline to have him leave the Canvas.

12. Aline Dessendre. Former head of the Painters' guild. She's made out multiple times to be better than Renoir, as it took both him and Clea to even just weaken her.

1. Clea Dessendre. Implied to be the best in her family, she's the only one skilled enough to paint over someone else's creation. Her very painted version had a stronger Chroma than Aline herself. She created all the Nevrons and gave Simon the power to kill the Hauler in the first place. With the real Verso, she created the Endless Tower, which literally contains a stronger version of Aline and Renoir.

This was shot on a cyclorama with a 3D background made by my photographer Kira Photoarts. Meanwhile, I'm prepping a new set with no edit like this - finally found a studio that fits the game's vibe perfectly, plus I made the Expedition costume!

This performance is amazing, but the giant boss angel really has those 33 vibes.

I am reading the artbook and found conceptual art with an expeditioner using bow and arrow. The game's characters are amazing and playing all of them is a pleasure, but it would have been absolutely amazing to have an archer.

The bow, the spear and the scythe are my personal holy trinity when it comes to weapons, so this is an extremely biased take. The game has one of the three and Sciel is certainly my favorite from the expedition, so I am not complaing, merely yearning. A spear wielder would have been awesome too.

And the bow design was so good, too. It reminds me of one of the Mangkwan bows introduced in Avatar: Fire and Ash.

VERSO ENDING GOT ME SOBBING

I am a hot mess. This game got me crying more than rdr2

This might be the greatest game I’ve ever played in my life

I knew it they were all gonna get gommaged but I was still screaming at my TV and crying the whole time

It broke my heart to attack Maelle and to hear her pleading. Let me tell you…. Once I recover that is. (I’ll never emotionally recover from this, just like ALINE)

I need to sleep but I also have the urge to hyperfixate on what I just experienced, why did I play this game before I gotta go to work 😭

Gonna make another post once I’ve chilled a little, would love to hear more discourse on the game overall!! And to know I’m not the only one suffering 😂💀

Never used a sewing machine before but it was a good opportunity to start (I designed the patch but didn't produce it). I did sew the armband from golden fabric and the patch's velcro support onto it.

Maelle gommages the immortal “Renoir”

How Lune should have reacted: “EXCUSE ME WTF WHY CAN YOU DO THAT? ALSO WHY DID VERSO CALL YOU ALICIA? SOMETHING IS UP HERE AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT.”

Lune’s actual reaction:

Anyone else feel the same way about this?

(I know my keyboard is dusty)
