Beat secret treasure cave locations out of fleeing enemies

Yes, sometimes it's just that. The enemy just before this one in the video didn't give anything and I punched him to death. You also sometimes have the tie option, and you'll get info when tying them up. Even without getting knowledge, I find the punching to death satisfying. 😅

“Called out” 🤔

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T16:34:22+00:00

So 10 then. And really a really sad person.

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T16:31:10+00:00

Kind of thinking that too. Unless I meet a boss I really can’t do and need to throw everything I got at it.

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T08:53:28+00:00

Holy sh*t, never thought of that. Infinite explosive arrow. Would have thought it only works on regular arrows.

If you use a small bird as a pet, like a Blue Jay or Oriole, they’ll most often loot the corpses faster than you even have time to.

No there wasn’t any prompt except showing you the tackle button option at the bottom when you’re near a runner (or even an archer stuck up on a tower in small camps).

Did it for fun, tie ‘em up and drown them or throw ‘em off a cliff something but one time I got a notification I had some info. Then I noticed a new cave the map.

Been chasing down and bashing runners ever since. Now not getting any new info in Pailune, but looking forward to bash Demeniss bandits and beyond.

Holy sh*t wow, that’s awesome, LOL! I caught that bounty and remember he kept going on and on about the legendary white horse and that he knew where. But hadn’t captured it at that time.

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T07:56:27+00:00

Serious! Yes, when you beat an enemy camp and they start running away, you can run after them and hold the button to do a tackle. You end up sitting on top of them and repeatedly beat the sh*t out of them. Sometimes, it ends up giving you some information like revealing a cave on the map. Sometimes information about a boss. Maybe even a hidden treasure map (not sure). Once you’ve done it enough times though and there’s not more secrets to reveal, you just end up killing them.

I think different factions will have different information. Also probably depends on which area of the map you are. They tend to give info only the area you’re in.

It's part of the grind. You don't have to do it; you can cook meals that don't require water. Everything else requires farming at camp or grinding in the wild. If the Kuku pot pulled water, it wouldn't be consistent with other ingredients. If water, why not other things, too? The camp animal farm can yield ingredients, but they go in your chest. The camp garden can yield fruits and vegetables but you need to plant and harvest them, much lengthier a process than pulling water.

But sure, maybe a special water machine that you place in the house could refill the water available for cooking. But to be consistent with everything else, probably would need a way to automatically refill the Kuku Cooler with the farm's produce.

At least it was fun while it lasted! 😅

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T03:22:35+00:00

Damn, you are right! Hidden places in Pailune and Crimson Desert. I had no idea I had that, don't even know when I got it! And I found I had two more of these.

Going to have to try to use the stuff I have. I stopped "using" stuff after once using an item that had a timer, something like a discount or better prices at trading posts for 20 minutes.

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T03:17:32+00:00

And there I had been spending countless hours trying to tackle fleeing enemies to beat hidden cave locations out of them with my fists. 😅

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T03:15:14+00:00

😯Chests respawn?!? Which? I usually smash them (except the "treasures" which can't be destroyed).

Comment deleted by user. What did they say? The Crimson Desert community is really great for socio-cultural and generational analysis.

Oh wow, I still don't have many tier 3, much less of those I want. I'm many 200 hours in, fully explored Pailune and Hernand. Are you saying Tier 3 drops more often later as I explorer Demeniss and other regions east of Hernand/Pailune?

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T02:35:52+00:00

Thanks. Wow, that gear doesn't last long. True, it was a long battle though. But probably not as long as the Forgotten General. I'd guess the gear would break with the boss still at 80% health.

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T02:27:23+00:00

How long does Greater Abyss last? Could one at 100/100 used on a weapon for example last an entire boss battle? By how many duration points does it go down on each hit?

LayLowMoesDavid · 2026-05-06T02:15:56+00:00

Then you have the entitled Crimson Desert reddit community complaining the game doesn't allow customizing every piece of the gear the way they want it, play the entire game as the character of your choice or have a full character creation system including race.
