Colour of Lumina and Chroma Catalysts areupgrade items for your characters and weaponsinExpedition 33.They can only be used once you meet a spooky and mysterious character namedThe Curator, who only Maelle can understand, and joins you to help out partway through the game.
Where to find the Curator in Expedition 33
The Curator can only be foundat your camps in the open world map, and only after you find your way through Flying Waters, the second area you can access in the game after Spring Meadows.
Once you pass through the Flying Waters area of the game, you’ll end up at a camp, and a cutscene will play, introducing you to The Curator, who is now with you on your journey after being shortly introduced to you earlier in the game.
The Curator can take your Chroma Catalysts of all rarities to upgrade your weapons, allowing you to level them up past certain thresholds. Some weapons begin at level one, while others begin at level three, and certain Chroma Catalysts will let you advance past those thresholds.
Colour of Lumina, meanwhile, are consumables that The Curator will let you add to your playable characters to let youuse certain Luminathat you unlock from the usage of Pictos in combat. Lumina are important passive abilities you can equip based on how many Colour of Lumina you give to each character at The Curator.
Both ofthese items can only be used at The Curator, and plenty are found within the open world or given as rewards for finishing fights and boss fights, so always be ready to explore and take the path less traveled to find these special items to help you on your expedition.
