The Chromatic Orphelin is a trio of optional bosses hidden in Yellow Harvest, located northwest of the Gestral Village.
Once you've unlocked the area's Yellow Spire Wrecks Expedition Flag, exit the cave where the flag is in and hug the right wall until you find another path with a pit at the end. Jump down to find a cavern where the Chromatic Orphelin are.

You will also find the Chromatic Orphelin inside the Endless Tower as the notable enemy for Stage 4, Trial 1.

All three Chromatic Orphelin are weak to Earth damage, and without Earth-elemental weapons, only Lune can consistently deal Earth damage with her spells. Try to keep her alive at all costs so she can exploit the bosses' elemental weakness and wrap up the fight quick.

|---|---|
| Earth Weapons | ・Gaulteram (Verso) ・Benism (Lune) ・Chapelim (Lune) ・Tissenum (Maelle) |
