Chroma Catalyst is a Tint that you use to enhance your weapons in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Check how to use the Chroma Catalyst, its locations, and effects here!
List of Contents
| Level | Tint Required |
|---|---|
| 1 ➔ 3 | Chroma Catalyst x3 |
Chroma Catalyst can be used to upgrade your weapons until Level 3. A total of 3x Chroma Catalyst is required to upgrade a weapon to Level 3. Keep in mind that you'll have to unlock the Curator in the camp first before you can start upgrading your weapons!
You can unlock the Curator in your camp after defeating him in The Manor during his last training session with Maelle. Additionally, you'll have to complete the Flying Waters quest then set up a camp in the overworld map, as prematurely going to camp before finishing the story in Flying Waters won't unlock the Curator.
After Act 2, you can interact with an Expedition Flag to upgrade your weapons.

As long as you have enough Chromas, you can buy Chroma Catalysts from various merchants.
| Merchant | Location | Price | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noco | Flying Waters | 500 Chromas | 5 |
We'll update this table once we find more merchants selling this item

You can also receive Chroma Catalysts by defeating different enemies and bosses.
