How To Open The Paint Cages In Verso’s Drafts In Expedition 33
A lot of mini-puzzles are scattered in the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 canvas, and one of the recurring ones is the Paint Cage. Paint Cages in Expedition 33 typically hold valuable loot, and they can be opened by shooting the cage’s “locks,” which usually look like a glowing ball.
However, following the childhood theme of Verso’s Drafts, the appearance of the Paint Cage there is altered to look like a pink bubble, whereas the locks are fun balloons, instead of a glum glowing rock. Here’s where players can find Verso’s Drafts Paint Cages and how to open them in Expedition 33.

Keep walking past the pond until you see a slope going up. The second Paint Cage in Verso’s Drafts is located behind the Esquie statue that holds a red candy.
The first balloon to open this Paint Cage is held by the Esquie statue that’s guarding the passageway.
