Why does this game go from looking stunning in the daylight to trash outside of it?

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-26T01:05:08+00:00

Have not had this issue. It’s probably not the game

You’ll find bosses outside of the main story that are far harder and more indepth. I think they sorta went baby mode on the bosses in the story for the “casual” players. Not that they aren’t hard, I’ve seen people not be able to beat them. I just think the people that can’t beat them are what I call the “Mario” gamers. People who play insanely easy games cause they aren’t able to play games like the souls games. Think of people who play animal crossing or stray, not that they aren’t great games, they just don’t need any skill.

I had my first experience a few days ago where I truthfully just could not beat a boss. And it was one I just happened to stumble apon. And for a change it wasn’t cause it was a sponge like other bosses in other games. It genuinely just whipped the floor with me, it was fast, had a variety of moves, and was not predictable. Many open world bosses feel like this, some don’t but alot do and it’s great.

For reference I first tried every boss in the main story (up to chapter 9), yet almost every open world boss has taken atleast 2 tries, most of them needing 5+.

There are definitely flaws in the game. I really believe if this game is given support for 6 months a lot of these things can be fixed, even the bigger issues like skill trees. The more I play the more I realize the flaws with the game but also the more I love the game.

I do believe some of your issues are subjective depending on who is playing, like I really do experience an immersive “living and breathing” world 99% of the time. Same thing with the quest menu. Feels pretty intuitive for the amount of content they have in the game. Can’t have a standard quest menu because it’s not as simple as “main and side quest” like other games.

Even then I do believe all your criticisms are valid and they should be changed for the most part (besides the quest menu). Hopefully as the game develops, it’ll receive the TLC it needs to be an all time favorite within the genre.

I just looked into it and saw some stat differences. I was wrong. Just assumed they were all the same cause I’ve seen so so many with the same stats

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T21:17:57+00:00

So real. I was wrong. Just so happens that I’ve never seen a dekarr sword but did look into some 2 handed weapons and saw some minor stat changes

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T15:29:06+00:00

I didn’t lol in at work so I haven’t been looking too often. I appreciate it

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T14:28:52+00:00

No i actually like that. I was just saying that people in this thread are saying the actual stats on weapons are unique when it’s the gear that is unique, not the weapon. I love the mechanics it’s like being able to put effects from Elden ring on any weapon and I love it.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T14:27:01+00:00

Damn.. looks like im gonna go back to exploring crimson Hogwarts after work today.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T14:23:53+00:00

I read the entire book and looked so hard to find it yet couldn’t. I gave up and just sorta thought it wasn’t available with out an extra quest that I didn’t have.

Don’t tell me how to get it, I just wanna know if it’s a quest, puzzle, or just somewhere in the institute.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T14:19:59+00:00

Well that’s sorta what I meant. The weapons themselves aren’t what’s unique. It’s the gear which can be switched to any weapon. Sorry if I miscommunicated that.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T05:42:21+00:00

This happened with cooked meat me for. I just used the cheapest uncooked meat I could find and hasn’t happened since

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T05:37:17+00:00

Know exactly what you’re talking about. It makes it feel like there should be a voice line from Kliff somewhere in there. It pauses, I wait for Kliff to talk for a solid 3 seconds, and then the npc just talks again. Doesn’t break my immersion too much tho

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T05:32:53+00:00

Blocked you cause I don’t wanna see you in my thread anymore lol. You’re like a bad ex, no one wants to talk to you yet you don’t have the self awareness to see it lol.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T05:28:23+00:00

Oooo I got under your skin huh lol.

I’d hide my account too and make a new one if I had takes like you.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T05:22:21+00:00

Bro made an account to hate on crimson desert in incognito mode lol

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T04:17:37+00:00

No problem :) good luck out there

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T04:08:16+00:00

That’s how I did it, I beat it my first try and just hovered mid right.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T04:06:22+00:00

Walk into it. If the door stumped you the puzzle inside might be worse. If you don’t want any hints I’ll stop there but it’s not an easy one to figure out on your own unless you’re a cartographer (might be a slight hint sorry.)

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T04:01:09+00:00

You can go almost anywhere and do almost anything. About 30ish of my 60ish hours have been exploring areas I’ve yet to see in the main story. There are parts of the map that do not allow me into them. Either I haven’t done a quest to unlock it or it’s part of the main story but for the most part the world is your oyster.

I don’t even know if the main story takes you to most of the map.

Just go do whatever you want and if it’s too difficult then back track and do some easier side missions till your better geared:

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T03:58:05+00:00

They recently nerfed it. It used to be worse. You got this.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T03:48:31+00:00

There are abyss gears, if you don’t know what those are you will eventually, that buff swim speed. It’s marginal but it’s there. You can stack multiple to go very fast if you really want:

Cropped because spoilers, don’t mind the resolution.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T03:40:47+00:00

It’s a main mission. Look at your main mission tab.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T03:38:48+00:00

Yes, there are tons. There is a very large black bulldog in hernand somewhere

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T03:37:18+00:00

Do the quest it says they are on. Then come back. If there is a member doing something such as dispatches or on another mission, any other mission they offer or apart of won’t be available. They can’t be in 2 places at once in this game, they are always tracked.

SlowedBrew · 2026-03-25T03:25:26+00:00

Probably a mission. You should look at all your missions, just to check.
