A widespread game-blocking bug has been reported with the Chromatic Braseleur enemy in Expedition 33. During combat, the boss can enter a state where its fire orbs stop attacking and the turn never progresses, effectively soft-locking the battle and preventing players from continuing. This occurs seemingly at random and affects multiple platforms (PC and consoles), forcing players to retry the fight repeatedly or skip it altogether.
Community reports indicate that:
- Battles against Chromatic Braseleur can stall indefinitely waiting for actions that never happen. (Reddit)
- Attempts to replicate the bug show it’s not tied to a single platform, and multiple players have confirmed it on PC and consoles. (Reddit)
- Some suggest workarounds such as specific counter-attack strategies, but no official fix has been released at the time of reporting. (Reddit)
