Unlike the other playable characters in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Monoco is a Gestral who is insensitive to the Painteress. Bien qu’il apparaisse comme un érudit, sa soif de combat pourrait faire de lui un allié important durant votre quête !
In this guide, we present Monoco, ses attributs, ses compétences et bien d’autres dans Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Qui est Monoco dans l’Expédition 33 ?
Pour rappel, un Gestral est un groupe d’êtres amicaux que vous rencontrerez aux côtés de la 33e Expédition. Monoco is one of the few Gestrals who speak the human language.
Bien qu’il apparaisse comme un érudit, Monoco est en réalité sanguinaire. L’idée de prendre part à des combats est d’ailleurs la raison pour laquelle il a décidé de join the members of the 33rd Expedition in their quest against Paintresse.
