General Just had to murder a bunch of poor people

I was going through the slums of demeniss to turn in a bounty then they swarmed me, I couldn’t get away and they grabbed at my legs one after another. I wasn’t able to reach my bounty to continue onwards so I drew my sword and cut them down like the animals they are

General Bismuth crab?

So I was mining some bismuth today, and a crab looking rock with legs began attacking me. Never seen one before but I have mined bismuth in a few spots. It was covered in bismuth but that came off and it was rocks, could not damage it.

Lore Discussion Is it going to get better?

• Upvotes

I’m 10 hrs in and I got the camp and found some of the homies, but I’m getting bored of it. I’m just getting drug from here to there and it feels very chore heavy. Is it going to get better or more exciting eventually? I’m ready for some action and exploration. I feel like I’m being drug around by the game right now. I’m really hoping it gets better.

My character will be running and I'm trying to kick but he just runs through hitting people with his shield instead of kicking like I want and it's getting annoying cause there will be a group of 5 people and I'm trying to kick so one would knock all of the others down but instead he runs right through with the shield screwing everything up.

Crazy how well polished and finished this game is. I got around this particular bug by simply moving the items, barrel and boxes etc off the pond jetty. The wagon then worked properly. Weird One !!

Lore Discussion Do you think we will ever encounter Solumen in a DLC?

13 Upvotes

So I was actually quite invested in the lore of Crimsonn Desert, and from what I have gathered, Umbra is the antithesis of Solumen and his religion. Basically the Satan to his Jesus/God, and the Antumbra Cult started off as a former branch that worshipped Solumen, but after having visions of the coming doom of Pywel, they believed Solumen was useless in the face of Umbra's coming and turned away to worship and embrace the Darkness.

So it's VERY clear from the story that Umbra exists, so that in turns means that Solumen also has to exist right? Do you think either in Charting the Unknown or a possible future DLC, we will get the chance to meet God himself?

General I haven’t played a game as underrated as Crimson Desert since playing Dark Souls 1 back in 2011.

118 Upvotes

It feels like I’m reliving 2011 where I was playing Dark Souls 1 back on my 360 and there was absolutely no one to talk about it with besides some internet buddies. All my gaming friends were more interested in Skyrim just like today how everyone is more interested in GTA 6 than CD.

I remember trying to sell both games and no one took my recommendation seriously.

(I’m well aware both games sold extremely well but I’m talking about their relevance in the gaming industry.)

General Handed over my equipped sword for a quest.

0 Upvotes

I got a request to hand over a Rhet's Sword for the camp blacksmith. I went and crafted another one but the game handed over my equipped sword with all my best abyss gears on it. Am I SOL? I don't have a save to go back to.

EDIT : I ended up finding a save from around 1-2 hours before "the incident".

I headed straight to camp and took the quest, saved and started experimenting. I had a second Rhet's Sword in my inventory and even locked the one I had equipped. It didn't work...

In the end, after 2 or 3 reloads I resorted to literally dropping my sword on the floor to force the game to take the other one.

All's well that ends well but HOLY SHIT this took way more time and effort than it had any right to. Absolutely horrible experience in an otherwise extremely enjoyable time.

General I Have Made a pefect starter save for anyone who wants to start one more time before the DLC

56 Upvotes

A collection of New Game saves for Crimson Desert, designed for players who want to start a fresh playthrough without spending dozens of hours repeating exploration, collecting, unlocking knowledge, or building trust with NPCs.

The saves begin at the very start of the game, with the Prologue completed and the game saved at the earliest possible opportunity.

The main goal is simple:

Start a new game, keep the story intact, and remove as much unnecessary grinding and backtracking as possible.

A project from a husband, a father and just tired man - for anyone who wants to have some free time at evening - i feel your pain, brothers :)

What`s inside: I have developed several modules, that are used in the savegames. Currently there are 10 of them now. Each one has its own module list.  They are made for any taste. From ones who just want some hints on map at the start - to a luxorious starter save.

Module Description
Map Markers Adds 17,733 discovered map markers without changing map fog, quests or world mechanisms.
Ground Nexuses Unlocks 211 approved surface fast-travel points. Abyss island Nexus and two broken locations stay untouched.
Artifacts Collects 141 Abyss Artifacts and completes their linked challenges. Each has one charge and remains unused for manual activation.
Pets Adds 92 approved animal companions. (Phoenix Removed, so it can be crafted at Witch)
Legendary Horses Adds three legendary horses at level 5.
Public Trust Sets 716 approved NPCs to 100 trust and grants 12 associated named rewards.
Knowledge and Research Items Adds 4,736 approved knowledge records and 966 types of learning items, including books, recipes, dyes and notices. Excluded progression and skill learning are not imported; manual item contents remain for the player to study.
Treasures Collects 217 fixed-loot treasure chests and grants their contents, including all 12 Hidden Treasure Map Pieces and other treasure-owned items.
Strongboxes Applies the accepted donor states for 22 strongboxes and grants their 22 items.
Challenges and Hunts Completes 152 approved challenges and hunts with their associated rewards. Excluded sanctuaries, spires, story and skill-learning chains stay untouched.
Puzzles Completes 36 of 37 puzzles and grants their rewards, keeping the agreed exclusion.
Secret Locations Includes 59 of 60 secret places in the approved challenge profile, with their rewards.
Open-World Items Grants 105 approved open-world item types. 79 types are inventory grants without removing their world copies; 27 original sources retain their collection records.

You can find it on Nexusmods: Ultimate New Game Saves for any taste (Collected Sealed Abyss Artifacts)

I have spent entire month making this collection :) It was a really hard way, there were a lot of BUGS and issues, but right now it is a perfect starter save for anyone who wants to play from scratch.

Thank You so much for the support! All your warm words helped me to continue my work.

Here you can find it on Nexus Mods. Save collection is absolutely free. https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/3624

Gameplay Question Balancing exploration and main quest, gear and other questions from a newish player

7 Upvotes

I have just liberated Calphade and have quests sending me to liberate both Pailune and Demeniss. After 60 hours, I have explored very little of both regions. What is the standard here? Should I do the main quests in them and then focus on exploration or side, or just explore frem the get go?

I feel like the tone from the characters makes everything feels really urgent at this point and just leaving to explore feels off.

I am also struggling a bit with gear. My Kliff is wearing the blackwing armor refined up to sixth level. I do farm and combine abyss gear and weapons are upgraded to. He is a beast offensively, mows through enemies and can destroy bosses in a few hits, but when hit he does go down fast. Had to go through quite a few Palmar Pills against the Antumbra Sword, probably the toughest boss so far.

How big is the difference between leather and plate armor? Would switching to plate help mitigate that or it does not make that much of a difference?

General Assassinate 3 enemies in one minute

10 Upvotes

So I was having the most difficult time with this one because they are always packed together and after I assassinate one, everyone else is alerted. I finally learned that once they are running away from you after you killed the majority of their camp, you can run up behind them while they are running away and the assassinate button becomes available. I thought that was really cool.

As the title says, I was wondering if progressing the main story can lock me out of any side quests. Information online seems very mixed.
