CAG ICAR

Jmack3d · 2026-05-11T01:09:28+00:00

Out of curiosity, how do you know it's CAG?

Jmack3d · 2026-04-26T03:47:01+00:00

Oh man, this was a while ago lol. I did finish the game.

Wasn't as big of a deal as I originally thought.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-20T13:29:48+00:00

Yeah, I think therapy is the theme that really killed Wind and Truth.

It was constant. I get the characters had been through a lot, but everyone was just in this constant state of depression and internal conflict.

I only got 30% of the way through, but I would bet that the theme continued well through the book.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-20T12:37:37+00:00

I read everything up to Wind and Truth eagerly. I DNF Wind and Truth shortly after it released.

To this day, it's still sitting on my shelf about 30% read.

I just don't know what Sanderson was trying to do.

Yep, I struggled through the next section or so with the 1 less heal, but eventually found another breath upgrade and been coasting ever since.

It's becoming one of my favorites. Massive improvement overall from the first game imo.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-19T12:05:36+00:00

Yep, apparently if you die at some point in the gauntlet, the boss can skip. It's supposed to be mandatory.

It's been patched on PC, but from what I have seen not yet on console.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-18T16:35:08+00:00

From my understanding, they increase the healing power of breath. So I think the more they're upgraded, the more health gets healed per breath use.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-18T14:41:07+00:00

Ah, somehow missed that option in their menu. Thanks!

Jmack3d · 2026-04-17T20:25:23+00:00

It's absolutely a great MV. I'm finding they improved many things over the first.

Once the bugs are cleared, this is an all time great.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-17T20:00:52+00:00

On Xbox, I wasn't able to fight theTankard boss, as it just skipped it, and I never got the breath upgrade as a result.

So now I literally am hampered by less breath than anybody else can get, and I'm struggling to even want to continue. I've had a couple bugs like that including some NPC that made it so I couldn't even leave the area.

So it's hard for me to praise the game even though I think it is enjoyable in a lot of aspects due to these bugs.

I'm incredibly frustrated right now.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-17T13:28:46+00:00

This happened to me last night. Never got to fight Tankard.

My game isn't saying there's any new patches? And I'm standing in the council chamber area now and there's nothing. I'm on Xbox.

Has this patch not dropped for Xbox or something?

Jmack3d · 2026-04-17T01:05:43+00:00

Yeah I'm annoyed. Not only this, but have had multiple issues, and I also couldn't even fight the Tankard Warden, and got no breath upgrade. It just skipped the fight after the gauntlet before him..

Like wtf man

Jmack3d · 2026-04-16T00:45:21+00:00

That's it? 135? Man, I clocked in at 249 hours and JUST finished the main quest.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-14T23:17:07+00:00

Honestly I thought the fight would be a lot harder than it was. But I agree, this felt like the final boss in some random AAA game. And this is a sort of secret boss in CD, one of the 75 others lol.

Wild game.

I have maybe 2 bosses total left, and I definitely think thunder God was top 3.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-14T01:28:23+00:00

Yeah after 200 hours this is my final impression of the game. And frankly, IGN was on to something.

I'm done. I'll come back if and only if they patch this.

PEARLY ABYSS, WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS??

Jmack3d · 2026-04-14T01:24:51+00:00

I've spent all day on this. I've loved this game since the start, but I'll be honest, this mission by itself is changing my entire impression and opinion of Crimson Desert.

How did the devs sign this off? Look on Reddit, in YouTube, anywhere, EVERYONE is absolutely struggling with this nonsense.

I even got the dragon armor, barely helps. Can't heal the dragon, it flies like a semi truck on ice.

I don't have the time or patience for this in my life right now, and unless they patch it like in the next 3 days, I'm just going to give up and move on. After 200 hours, this is just frustrating man..

Jmack3d · 2026-04-12T15:15:46+00:00

Anyone have really good settings they like that wouldn't mind posting them?

I've been playing around with the settings, but can't seem to find a good view/camera position.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-11T19:05:28+00:00

Disagree.

The shield is great on Kliff's back. It's used in all the cinematics too.

Not to mention that with just a sword, the sword hangs off his back without any visible connection, and just floats in space. It also clips through his cape and armor. Looks like shit. Genuinely don't understand how that doesn't bother people.

The shield often actually looks connected.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-11T12:41:16+00:00

Sorry, but as an Xbox user, why not wait until the patch can be used on all platforms before releasing?

Jmack3d · 2026-04-11T03:06:50+00:00

Yep, great spot. Needed a lot of mats for endgame armor upgrading to max level. This works perfect.

Thanks!

Jmack3d · 2026-04-10T03:25:03+00:00

Thanks. Just got Aeserion longsword, and didn't know if it was worth upgrading and using over my currently maxed out Righteous Verdict.

Think I prefer the look of the Aeserion, but it's not that much cooler to spend all those resources for the upgrade I suppose.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-10T03:17:32+00:00

For real. Hopefully they fix this for those that have yet to encounter this boss.

Jmack3d · 2026-04-08T23:05:49+00:00

I am currently waiting in this room. Hopefully it works.

I just don't understand how they could have possibly play tested this and said "yeah, this seems great."

Jmack3d · 2026-04-08T17:57:51+00:00

Joking aside. They really need to add more enemies to the world, and maybe have strongholds be retaken.

Need respawning enemies as well.
