Chromatic Creation Location

Located in Renoir's Drafts

How to Get to Renoir

The Chromatic Creation can be found in Renoir's Drafts. To reach it, continue forward from the Entrance Expedition Flag, until you reach an area with lots of wooden scaffolding, similar to The Reacher area.

There will be a Paint Spire in this part of the location. Break it, and follow the path behind the spire to find the boss.

How to Beat Chromatic Creation

Be Prepared for Inverted

Lune Healing Light Tooltip

Just like its regular form, the Chromatic Creation can apply Inverted to the entire party. This will cause any healing received to instead do damage, making sustaining your party significantly more difficult.

Have abilities that can cleanse status effects, such as Lune's Healing Light, or the Cleansing Tint Picto and Lumina, to alleviate the status effect.

All Status Effects Guide

Have a Way to Deal With Shields

Maelle Breaking Rules Tooltip

The Chromatic Creation can also apply shields to itself repeatedly throughout the fight. It is recommended to have abilities that can remove shields instantly, like Maelle's Breaking Rules, to avoid losing damage on the boss.

Take Advantage of Similar Creation Moveset

Creation Full Offensive

This boss is surprisingly similar to the regular Creation, with the only differences being a larger health pool, more damage and slightly longer Melee Combo and Tail Swipe for the Chromatic version.

The player therefore can reference their fights with the regular Creation to easily take the Chromatic version down.
