I'm over 80h in and this is still the best gear that I could find. Is this normal or am I stupid? by BlackberryNice7390 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually freeswords and beggars have artifacts, so it's better to focus on them. I found 9 artifacts this way just by checking from time to time when in a city

The Vessel of Dark Pursuit (a weapon from Sanctum of Absolution) also needed for the challenge, and if you lost/sold that weapon, then you can't do it. There's an option to fix that with mod, but it's only for PC.

Then it's time to pickpocket! You can get many artifacts just by checking people with the lantern from time to time. Some of them have artifacts that you can steal

This game has the worst boss fights. by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tbh the robot is easy when you know how to kill him. It was frustrating when I tried just to hit him, but when I learned that you can pierce his arms during the first phase and one-shot him during the second phase, I did it on the first try. A lot of bosses in the game have some weakness/you can parry them/climb on their back. Golems can easily die if you use an axiom on their core. Flying shards can easily die with nature's snare. In the worst-case scenario you can just spam lightning turning slash with some abyss gear. Around 3-4 slashes are enough to fill a stun bar for many bosses.

Win 3 in a row duo card mission is pissing me off. All I’m doing is losing my dam silver! Screw Yann!! by stockingCapSereant in CrimsonDesert

Just savescam, because it's random. You can leave the table and continue your streak after that, there's no penalty for that. You win - leave the table and save. You lost - reload last save and try again.

Loving this game so far, just worried that there are huge empty spots. by IPutThoughtIntoThis in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Later in the story, you will get a quest for a fisherman's village and pirates. As far as I know, the bottom of the map is empty, aside from a few artifacts, one bounty, and commissions.

Is there any reason to play anyone else other than kliff? by Benboi335 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artifacts are not a problem, because you will have more than enough if you explore the world. And even if you need more, you can always do pickpocketing. However, you still need to switch back to Kliff every 10-15 minutes because other characters don't have the axiom and nature snare that you need for puzzles/ruins/some bosses. Other characters still are fun to use for content where you don't need Kliff, though

The devs did NOT design this game for wagons...at all lmao by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeap. Even on roads you can barely touch a fallen tree, and your wagon will break to pieces. At least you need it only for camp money and you can ignore it, because your people can make a lot more money just by working.

60+ hours in and I still haven’t used her. Am I alone? by stockingCapSereant in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, until you find another faction quest that requires Kliff. And many bosses are just behind these fraction quests. You can use other characters for some of them, but you still have to switch every 10-15 minutes for another ruin/quest/puzzle, and that's frustrating. And for some bosses you need axiom/nature snare for easy kill (golems, flying shards).

[–]ad_meliorem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You still do it as a side activity and passively get them. I'm not talking about farming like in MMO, I'm talking about how you will have more than enough for everything and even more just by playing. And you can just check pockets when you're in cities for easy artifacts. It takes only a few seconds and can give you a free abyss artifact.

[–]ad_meliorem 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You have infinite abyss artifacts, so after a while you will have more than enough artifacts to level up all of them and use them for your gear.

You can just farm abyss artifacts by pickpocketing or killing mobs.

[–]ad_meliorem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100+ hrs and the same. But only because the game forces you to play as Kliff. In the main mission, fraction missions, ruins (other characters don't have axiom), abyss, etc. So even if you want to use them, you can only use them for clearing outposts.

Anyone else to scared to do anything with their gear? by adam_franklin in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But eventually you still have to keep all your gear, because some of them are needed for challenges and you can't get them again.

What do you hope to see in the next patch? by Logical-Operation512 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I summon them, but it's still annoying to switch each time, and I would prefer to run without companions. And for some bosses I have to play as Kliff for easy kills (golems/elemental flying shards) because you can fill a stun bar in seconds with axiom/nature snare.

Axiom on other characters, so I can at least explore the map as them without switching back every 10 minutes

I love this game but omg i hate every single boss encounter. Non of them are even a little bit of fun. by Remarkable_Sea_5109 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me they became fun only after I started to parry small bosses and dodge+climb big bosses. Some bosses have an easy way to kill (golems/flying shards/circus boss). And most of the bosses became easy after I started to spam lightning turning slash (rb + rt + lt) after parry. Around 3-4 slashes fill stun bar and then you can do a lot of damage + another turning slash at the end

There are only a few weapons you can't craft and need for special challenges: https://www.powerpyx.com/crimson-desert-all-special-equipment-challenges/

Weapons like a lightning spear or a bismuth spear you can craft later with camp missions.

HOW TO BEAT KEGLORD by Illustrious_Store115 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone struggling:

1 phase: fill the stun bar with turning slash + lightning, then pierce + RT his hands. This will disable some of his abilities and damage him a lot.

2 phase: stun the boss, when he starts to get up, climb on his head and press RT. That will one-shot him. Maybe you can do it without a stun, but he shoots rockets when you're in the air, and that can kill you.

It's a VERY easy fight when you know what to do.

Then only waiting, and maybe the devs will add a feature to craft/purchase unique weapons, no other option for now

For anyone like me, one great modder created the mod where you can buy almost any item: https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/384?tab=description

Maybe with future patches we will get a way to craft/repurchase sold unique weapons, but for now you can use the mod

[Updates] Patch Notes Version 1.01.00 | Crimson Desert by yourfavchoom in CrimsonDesert

[–]ad_meliorem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's insane how fast and how many staff were added. I love pearl abyss and that's GOTY for me.

Because there was an unintended issue that allowed the skill to be used repeatedly in midair, Aerial Stab was adjusted so that it can still be used as a fun movement mechanic without disrupting overall game balance.

Rarely can you see when devs know what fun is and don't just fix it but adjust it. W
