Should You Attack Jar in Expedition 33?

In Expedition 33, you’ll come across a friendly-looking creature named Jar during the Jar’s Light quest. He seems harmless. He is harmless. But this is a video game, so of course you’re wondering — can you attack him, and should you?
Let’s break down what happens if you decide to turn Jar into target practice, and whether it’s worth being that person.
What Happens if You Attack or Fight Jar
Yes, you can attack Jar. No, he won’t just sit there and take it.
When you choose to attack him, Jar turns into a full-on boss fight. He’s tougher than he looks (because, let’s be honest, he doesn’t look tough at all). If you manage to beat him, you’ll get:
A solid chunk of loot
A unique Pictos
Some extra resources you won’t get by playing nice
But here’s the catch — you miss out on the peaceful quest rewards if you go full aggression. Once you attack, there’s no going back to being buddies.
Jar’s Light Quest – The Nice Way
If you decide not to stab first and ask questions later, Jar’s Light is a simple side quest:
Find the missing light source Jar is looking for.
It’s usually nearby — hidden behind some crates or tucked in a corner (because of course it is).
Return it to Jar, and he’ll reward you with:
A helpful healing item
Some crafting materials
A bit of goodwill, if that counts for anything
It’s quicker, safer, and you don’t have to explain to your party why you just murdered a glowing mascot.
Should You Attack Jar?
If you’re chasing rare items and don’t mind a tougher fight, then yes, attacking Jar is worth it for the unique rewards.
If you’re low on health, under-leveled, or just feeling a little guilty about beating up something that smiles at you — maybe stick to the peaceful route. You’ll still get useful items without the risk of being flattened by a glowing blob.
Final Blurb
Jar may look like a walking lightbulb with no defense, but in Expedition 33, even the cute ones pack a punch. Whether you help him or hurt him, there’s loot on the table—so really, it’s just a question of how violent you’re feeling today. Choose wisely... or don’t. Jar’s ready either way.
