How to Counter Goblu Jump in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

Image Credits: Sandfall Interactive

When Goblu comes at you with that huge leap, it’s natural to think you should jump to dodge it. That would make sense, so of course, that’s not how it works.

All jokes aside, here are the details.

When Can You Jump Counter Goblu?

• You can only jump counter attacks that show the yellow glyph above the enemy before they strike.

• If you don’t see the yellow symbol, jumping will just get you smashed.

What to Do Without the Glyph

• No glyph? Parry or dodge.
  That’s it. Even if Goblu jumps, you do not jump unless you see the clear yellow icon.

• The game does explain this early on, but it’s easy to miss or forget—especially when enemies throw similar-looking attacks at you right after learning the jump mechanic.

Why Not Jump to Dodge Goblu’s Jump/Slam?

• It does look like Goblu’s leap is a "jump dodge" moment because the enemy jumps and slams down.

• The animation looks like it should be jumped over when he hits the ground, but the mechanic is only tied to the yellow glyph, not the animation itself.

Final Blurb

If you don’t see the yellow symbol, stay on the ground. Parry or dodge like normal. The jump counter is reserved for very specific attacks the game marks clearly—ignore the enemy’s movement and watch for the glyph.
