Old Lumiere Area Collectibles & Noteworthy Tasks
Old Lumiere – Entrance
Mandelgo the Merchant
You will run into Mandelgo right next to the rest point. You can purchase a Revive Tint Shard, Healing Counter Pictos, and Longer Powerful Pictos, among other things. If you defeat it in battle, you can buy the Algueron weapon for Sciel.
Old Lumiere – Right Street
2495 Chroma
When you reach the first grouping of enemies, look to the right to spot a lone tree (not next to a doorway). Drop down behind it to find the chroma.
Nusaro
Head through the doorway next to the other tree to find this weapon for Monoco on top of the roof.
4990 Chroma
After using the grapple points to progress along the main path, look to the right when you land to see some rubble you can crouch through. Head through that opening to find the chroma at the end.
Time Tint Pictos
Heading up the hill from the previous collective, you’ll reach a section where you’ll have to jump across a gap. Head forward until you reach the tree at the corner where the path moves left. Drop down on the right next to the tree to find the pictos.
Colour of Lumina
Follow the main path left from the tree at the top of the hill mentioned above. When you reach the part where it opens up into a bigger area, look to the right to spot a rock ledge. Climb up it and follow the path past the enemy to find this lumina.
Fading Man
The Fading Man will be along the main path as you progress through the area.
Old Lumiere – Left Street
Colour of Lumina
After gaining control of Maelle and Verso, head behind the standing wall on your right to spot this lumina.
Polished Chroma Catalyst
After fighting the first group of enemies, you’ll head through a doorway and arrive at an area with a broken windmill. Take the right path past the windmill to find the catalyst on a cylinder sticking out of the side of the ground you’re standing on.
Journal – Fracture Survivor – Old Lumiere
Drop down the hole in the above cylinder, then turn around to spot a gate with a journal beyond it. Interact with the gate to open it and collect the journal. Please note that the gate requires the Old Key to open it. You would have received this item during the prologue by exchanging one of your tokens for it at the party.
2495 Chroma
Back at the broken windmill, take the left path to spot the chroma next to a lamppost.
Colour of Lumina
After Verso ditches Maelle, look to the right to spot a grapple point. Use it to reach the raised piece of land where you’ll find the lumina.
Auto Rush Pictos
Once you cross a bridge that was cut in half by a giant glowing sword, enter the standing part of a building on the left. You’ll need to defeat the three enemies guarding this pictos to collect it.
Polished Chroma Catalyst
Just past the building from the above pictos, you’ll come to a building that was cut in half. Head to the left before passing through the building. You’ll be able to access a building’s balcony there and follow it around to the catalyst.
Old Lumiere – Manor Gardens
Boss Fight – Renoir
As you approach the Manor, a cutscene will trigger a boss fight against Renoir. Renoir will attack from range, targeting one party member with four strikes.
When he does a melee attack, it will be five. When he attacks using chroma, there will be three strikes; the last will be a gradient attack. You’ll eventually see “Petals gather,” leading to Renoir summoning two objects beside him. You’ll have an easier time destroying them with gradient attacks.
