Clair Obscur Expedition 33 DLC Seesaw Puzzle Guide
The DLC seesaw feels impossible at first glance. The timing looks random, the feedback feels harsh, and failure comes fast. There is a simple rule the game follows.
The Exact Seesaw Solution
You must jump at the exact moment the gestral lands on the cushion. That single frame is what the game checks.
Jumping while he is in the air fails. Jumping during the pause fails. Jumping on sound cues fails.
Hit jump the instant his feet touch down. Do this 4 times and the seesaw clears.
What Animation You Should Watch
Ignore the jump icon completely. The icon lies to you.
Watch the gestral’s body animation instead. He jumps up, hangs for a brief pause, then drops straight down.
Press jump right as he starts moving downward and touches the cushion. Once you feel it once, the timing stays the same every time.
Common Reasons It Keeps Failing
Most failures come from jumping too early. The game does not care about the apex of the jump.
Sound cues also throw people off. The landing animation matters more than audio.
Visual effects on the board are also misleading. Focus on the character, not the seesaw itself.
Helpful Tips That Make It Easier
Keep your camera steady so the animation is easy to read
Do not spam jump, single clean presses work best
Stay calm, frustration makes the timing worse
Expect to succeed once the rhythm clicks
How Many Jumps Are Required
The seesaw completes after 4 successful land timed jumps. Some players report 3 depending on movement, but 4 is the safe count.
If it accepts the input, it will not say failed. You will feel the difference immediately.
Final Blurb
The DLC seesaw is strict, not broken. It wants precision, not guessing. Watch the gestral land, press jump, repeat a few times, and move on with your life. The balloon kid still exists though, good luck with that.
