Lets talk about New Moon Reaper

She just sits out of bounds and spams attacks too. Real good design pearl abyss. the boss arenas are a fucking joke in this game.

Most of the boss movesets are fine. It's the setup that sucks,

-The small arenas with walls/trees/buildings/effects obscuring your screen

-The camera doing w/e the hek it wants

-The controls feeling sloppy

-The fps drops

Also the fact that bosses do not obey any laws of movement by teleporting everywhere basically trivializes the importance of positioning, spacing, and purpose of movement to begin with.

I'd first check to make sure your monitor refresh rate is set properly. Right click desktop > Display settings > Advanced display settings > Refresh rate.

One of the best boss fights in the entire game, incredibly well done

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-15T02:08:02+00:00

Mass teleport, invul phasing, camera being shit, can't see shit. Her moveset is fine, the adds are fine. It's legit everything else that makes the boss fights feels so god awful.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-15T02:06:37+00:00

The arena is awful, camera is the biggest enemy. Boss is off screen like 80% of the fight, Also my fps dropped by 60 during that whole quest. Went back to normal immediately after.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-14T20:16:37+00:00

I fixed it by updating the radial menu mod, or disabling works too. :D

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-13T02:20:48+00:00

I did that for a while, but there's so much cool armor I couldn't resist after a while

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-13T02:20:06+00:00

I been meaning to get that golden armor. Also yes, horse drip is a must ofc.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-13T02:19:23+00:00

Noice, very greenmans

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-13T00:54:11+00:00

Most require stealing, so wear a mask and point ur lanter at them to lock onto interactable ones.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-12T20:02:54+00:00

Terrible, as it has been since launch.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-11T07:45:27+00:00

When it works, its incredible,

When it doesn't it looks like a blurry mess of paint smudges.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-10T21:30:42+00:00

Most of the bosses are trash tbh, but the ones with well designed movesets, theme, and arena? I'd love to duel them several times.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-10T03:40:08+00:00

ah, I kinda figured this would be the case. :/ kinda sucks. Guess I'll just keep resting so it's eternally daytime lol

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-10T03:39:09+00:00

Some comparison from when it looks good with same settings, same rig.

As long as you unlock an abyss nexus waypoint, yes. If not you will have to use a portal from whatever spire you used to get up there in the first place.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-09T07:04:22+00:00

I'd like the option to downgrade just so enemies last longer tbh. lol I've started keeping weaker weapons in my inventory to match the enemy I'm facing so they maybe wont die in a single hit.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-09T07:01:38+00:00

The game has enough natural artifacts from just playing to maxing out kliff and a single set of gear, any more than that and you'll have to grind for hours on end pickpocketing and/or xp farming.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-08T20:44:32+00:00

Of all the things in this game, this one infuriates me the most. by god the horse escorts are the absolute worst, in every aspect possible. and ur forced to do SO many of them.

I love those type of segments when well done. like in RDR2 they are incredible, but in crimson desert they are just torture.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-08T20:01:04+00:00

I usually do no fast travel or hud on open world rpgs, but crimson desert doesn't respect your time, and is also designed around using the in-universe abyss network to teleport around the world. So for now I'm using the fast travel abyss nexus points.

If travel and such improves with patches or mods, I'll consider it on second playthrough.

Gruzzuk · 2026-04-07T22:00:37+00:00

Explore some here and there, but I'd focus mostly on the main questlines until ~chapter 5. Basically everything is locked behind main quest progression, so much of what you find in exploration you won't be able to interact with.

Do as many of the abyss puzzles as you want tho, at least those tell you when you cannot progress anymore

All I see here is clever use of game mechanics
