Hopscotch Puzzle #1: Golgra’s Lateral Jump Frenzy

Near the Toy Boat Gestral group in Verso’s Drafts, you’ll find the first hopscotch challenge. Here’s how to start the challenge:

1. 1. Find where the two Half-Baked Gestrals standing in the water near a wooden bridge.
   2. Then, interact with them and accept Golgra’s Lateral Jump Frenzy challenge to start a puzzle.
   3. Jump on titles numbered one through nine in ascending order.
   4. Each tile will glow green after stepping on correctly. 
   5. Take note that some tiles are positioned underwater.
   6. Move carefully to avoid missing any of these tiles. 
   7. Complete the challenge by reaching the tile nine and stepping on the final sun symbol tile.
   8. Golden coins will fly out after completion and you’ll get the Maelle Chic haircut as your reward.

Hopscotch Puzzle #2: The Talking Door Challenge

Afterward, head near the Gestral Baths Expedition flag in Expedition 33 Verso’s Drafts for the second hopscotch puzzle. You can find the puzzle close to the talking door that requires you a Birthday Cake to open. While initially complex, you have to explore multiple areas extensively.

1. 1. Step on the first tile near the Cake door.
   2. Find the second tile hiding behind a rock under purple branches.
   3. After activating it, go back to the Cake door area where the third tile sits at the tree base across from the door.
   4. Meanwhile, the fourth tile is on a large pink tree near the puzzle.
   5. Step on tile five hidden in a small ledge inside the isolated passageway.
   6. Explore around the trees to find the tile six by turning around and walking down the ledge. 
   7. Return to the third tile’s location for tile eight to see an enemy sitting atop.
   8. You have to defeat this enemy to activate the tile.
   9. The last tile is hidden behind a tree at the pathways edge.
   10. Head to the large pink tree and step on the sun tile beneath it for tile nine and receive the Sciel Double Bun hairstyle.

Hopscotch Puzzle #3: Gestral Baths Classic Format

To find the third Hopscotch puzzle, go to the Gestral Baths expedition flag near the Esquie puzzle Half-baked Lifeguard. This offers a simpler experience compared to other Hopscotch Puzzles you’ll find in Verso’s Drafts. It follows the classic hopscotch format like other traditional playground games.

Just step on the numbered tiles in sequential order from start to finish. It is pretty straightforward to complete and rather serves as a quick breather between more complex challenges. After completing, you’ll get Verso’s Chic haircut as another cosmetic option to your collection.

Hopscotch Puzzle #4: Candy Land Secret Path

Accessing the final hopscotch puzzle will require the Paint Break ability. From the Candy Land expedition flag, you need to descend using the nearby rope to reach an area with a patrolling enemy. After that, turn right then look for a candy jar blocking your path and follow these steps to unlock Paint Break:

1. 1. Finish the side quest by finding four lost Gestrals throughout Verso’s Drafts. 
   2. After that, report back to Sastro at camp.
   3. Once you have this ability, you can destroy the candy jar to reveal a hidden tunnel. 
   4. Reach the puzzle area by entering the tunnel and hopping across candy platforms. 
   5. This returns you to the numbered tile format where you have to step on each tile in ascending order. 
   6. Upon reaching the final tile, you’ll receive Lune’s Double Bun hairstyle.

Conclusion

Hopscotch Puzzles are just one of the new fun, exciting challenges you can play on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Verso’s Drafts. While these are easy to accomplish, you still need to be careful of the sequence tile. After completing these puzzles, you’ll get extensive hairstyle cosmetics for your character.
