In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the relationship development system with companions is an essential part of the experience, but it only becomes available at the start of Act Two. This is when you gain the ability to spend time with team members at the camp, unlocking deeper dialogues and story scenes.

How to Increase Relationship Levels

To build relationships with characters, you must spend some time with them at the camp. At the end of every level of the game, you are advised to discuss with all the companions and select the "spend time together" option whenever you see it.
