In brief

In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the revelation of certain secrets is reserved for the most patient players. The Gestral Underground Arena is one of them, this secret place created by Gestrals who considered the main arena of the Gestral Village too “conventional,” and was redesigned to serve as a setting for more arduous challenges. With this detailed guide, we explain everything you need to know about this very particular place, from its location to the possible rewards for defeating fearsome opponents.

Location of the Gestral Underground Arena

The Gestral Underground Arena is therefore located in a place that is relatively inaccessible early in your adventure, since you'll have to pass underneath it to reach the Gestral Village as part of the game's main quest. Discovering the place may be mandatory to progress in the game, but you can only get there once you have acquired Esquie's flying ability, which you'll obtain towards the end of the game. Once you have this ability, all you need to do is head west of the Gestral Village. The arena is located on a floating rock northwest of the Gestral Underground Arena.
