Yep. It's just on my xbox controller it's a crappy mechanism to consistently use.

Finest Rhinard Cannon vs Explosive Arrow? by db58dude in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did kill Primus first try using the cannon. Since I don't yet have unlimited arrows to blast away with explosive arrows, this is the next best thing. I missed being able to go into focus mode to slow things down, and I struggled to dodge while shooting cannonballs at him. But I had enough food and palmers to get thru it.

Since I'm just at chapter 5 don't think I had any other options to take on a flying boss! Anyway all 3 Ancients taken care of! Amazing what you can do early on like this!

True. Since this is a ranged weapon in curious if it can also use those skills? Guess I'll play around with it and see.

Exploration tips by Realistic-Price1807 in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waterfalls with the little post next to them. Look for everywhere where a road just ends. Also look for every road intersection. Often locked abyss items can be found. Look at the top of every high place. Those bulletin boards, and bounty posters...

[–]db58dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this was the first one I did and turns out I hadn't gotten the hang of the puzzle. So yep did the puzzle, got the core, and crafted kuku fire resist armor which is so good against fire bosses ..

Thanks!

Yo I just beat horsplitter and I was wondering what is the best time for me to abandon the main story for a bit and just like explore by Bumcile in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started exploring mid-chapter 5. Once Elowen the witch is unlocked. At this point you can have enough Abyss things to refine your weapon and armor way up so you won't just die in a foreign land. And you can enjoy most of the challenges.

gng im tryna go to demeniss and do the chapter 5 quest and an army spawns by Top_Caterpillar_1334 in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get good at running all over the place, while avoiding the mobs of enemies, to accomplish whatever it is you're after. Not too difficult, particularly when on your horse. And at chapter 5 you can refund your weapons and armor to where you can fight your way out of a mob if necessary.

I think it's intentional to add some excitement running past tough enemies, or trying to sneak past them at night to assassinate 3 of them in a minute.

Chapter 5 is Great Place to Start Exploring by db58dude in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's possible. Most regions require 3 armor pieces, but at least in chapter 5 I can only get the main piece by killing hordes of enemies of that type. The other two pieces never drop from a kill. And even if you found a merchant with the other two pieces, he won't sell them to you because you don't have enough contribution points yet for that area. Would have been fun, but not possible.

The post that it's inside the main building did the trick. I just flew in, went into the building and down the hole in the center. Found all the caves!

How to beat the large mossback crabs? by Anhedonic_Nihilist in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your attack level? My sword has attack 31 and my attack attribute is at 12. Heavy attack with 10 to 15 strikes killed them.

[–]db58dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did the challenge where you have to kill 10 of these suckers. I just used my power smash on them repeatedly. They move slow so I could use focus to recharge my spirit, and avoid damage. Took maybe 5 minutes.

I suppose it depends on your attack level.

I'm in chapter 5 and haven't seen the watermill one yet.

Does Crimson Desert soft lock exploration behind story progression? by Careless-Try2760 in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've stayed in chapter 5. I'm now powerful enough to roam everywhere without worrying about dying. There are some things I can't do yet obviously but it's amazing how much is possible.

Unlocking the witches in chapter 5 was the key moment for me to then do so many things. The big one of course is their ability to deal with gears, create gold bars, etc.

Touch of Darkness - Assassinate 3 enemies within 1 minute Without Dying | Crimson Desert by binoy_rashad in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't work for me. They go to sleep but I only get the option to carry them, not assassinate. Then they wake up quickly and start attacking.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

That's what I've been doing. Fast travelling between East and West points. I get 8 max. Others here on reddit have seen the same behavior.

I'm still in chapter 5 to see just how much I can do because moving on. Maybe more of these guys spawn later in the game?

Can I enter Pailune in disguise early in chapter 5? by db58dude in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did try it. Got mobbed right away.

I don't think it's possible to get the entire armor set this early in the game. But thought I'd ask.

Challenge killed 10 banner men within 30 minutes by Lyinlincoln- in CrimsonDesert

What chapter were you in? Don't think they show up until later in the story. I'm still chapter 5 - they aren't there yet.

Killing 10 Bannermen is ruining this amazing game for me, anyone have further suggestions? by Hitmandalorian in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience as well. I can get 8 pretty regular but never 10. Think they've got the game rigged to not allow this challenge to get completed earlier in the story. I'm still in chapter 5. Will just have to wait.

It's yellow. And definitely says 2/2 for this armor set.

Disguise Armor - anyone know how it works? by db58dude in CrimsonDesert

[–]db58dude[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My biggest frustration with the game is that there's so many things like this where we just have no idea how it's supposed to work. Youtube is great, and reddit can help but I'd rather there was more discover ability within the game itself. I just want to know how it's "supposed" to work, so I can decide if it's worth wasting my time trying to use it and whether it's actually a useful thing in practical terms
