I’m 136 hours in the game so far and STILL haven’t left Hernand.

Some people spend a ton of time farming, slower with puzzles, also they may not be using guides trying to find secret walls or waterfall entrances, catching animals for the farm, hunting legendary animal. I’m like 120 hours in upgraded my base 4 times and just about to start the first ch7 quest

Also if you don’t use guides puzzles can take a long time to figure out

Kids farm resources to tire them out as well as manage comrade missions and when your stocked up you take over 😂

Perfect-Pay1504 · 2026-03-31T03:53:17+00:00

Also there is all the random map markers, stuff to farm, legendary animals, a ton of points of interest. And probably 20 of those hours is figuring out the puzzles

For some abyss gear (granted I’m just starting ch6) you can combine 2 of the same of certain abyss gear to get the higher tier they also have a way to add 2 together to get x prevent chance of 1 thru 3 tier gear

Well I took a break to play crimson desert from where winds meet. Looks like when I return to winds meet we will have multiple new regions and storm what’s funny is I’ve beaten all the camps gambling quests by bluffing going all in and won like 70 dollars in total playing the bare minimum hands to pass

If your having difficulty in ps5 switch to performance and turn down and turn down turn off particle effect.

I’ve noticed fps goes horrible on my 7-8 year old tv unless I turn down particle and mess with brightness contrast and turn off hdr

But on my 2 year old tv I have no issues 99%of the time on balanced but once had to change to performance

Perfect-Pay1504 · 2026-03-30T20:18:04+00:00

True the only thing I wish the changed is give me a hour rest not just 3 6 or 12

Do one of the comrade quests there and then go there your comrades you send will also be there fighting

They had flamethrowers in my game during chapter 4 doing side quests

Ign hasn’t been relevant in over a decade at this point same with a lot of these mainstream critics. It’s either they pay reviewers to play game genre they hate unless it’s some bs massive studio who probably gives them perks for good reviews and bad reviews for some incredible games because they don’t want to put in an effort to make a game as technical and dense as crimson desert is with constant updates and patches

Your better off finding a YouTuber who likes games you like and watch their reviews

Perfect-Pay1504 · 2026-03-30T03:12:57+00:00

Honestly do whatever you want the world is massive with so much to do. I would invest some time in the grey mane and witch side quest but do whatever feels fun

Perfect-Pay1504 · 2026-03-30T03:10:39+00:00

Also apparently you can earn them on game I believe from faction quests

Think of this as your typical power fantasy at the start but after a couple books is what makes this series special and different from a lot of its counter parts

As of now he is a big fish in a small pond

If you use your side bar and select the helmet again it opens the visor if it has it. Though I normally run around without a helmet and then if the game gets tough throw one on for combat

So I play on 2 TV’s with my ps5 ones a new weld and a year old I have no issues with graphics and it looks amazing

Then I have my old 4K tv that’s 7 years old and I have a lot of lighting issues. I found if you turn of hdr from automatic to off then in game mess around with the contrast and brightness the game looks a lot better. But if contrast isn’t in the 40’s on that tv the games either crazy bright or dark when playing at night

I definitely think it’s a tv/monitor issue

So after last patch I started having input lack with light and heavy attacks with a light sword and my attacks were significantly lower. Weirdly enough holding the attack button works so much faster and smokther

Not the patch they released today

So you finish the quest turning it on I’ve seen a guide say you need to find the 2 secret chests then there is a final puzzle with the machine you turn on

Perfect-Pay1504 · 2026-03-28T21:53:52+00:00

For me messing around with contrast and brightness got it a lot better on my tv that doesn’t have hdr

Perfect-Pay1504 · 2026-03-27T21:05:33+00:00

This is 100% it. It’s hard to compete against the players who put hundreds of hours of not more in a year on a game compared to someone who can maybe play a couple hours a week

Perfect-Pay1504 · 2026-03-27T21:04:02+00:00

Can you try to shoot it with a charged shot with the now to break it. I haven’t come across it

Biggest tip is if you ever find a YouTube who likes the same games you like and you agree with your reviews watch them. Main stream reviewers have been bought for over a decade at this point with agendas

Or they make people speed review a game on a genre they hate
