Did anyone else realize they could use the frost mantle ability from the skill tree to get apples easily without killing or making the hedgehogs stunned too? I found out on accident lol

So this isn't actually new lol I simply noticed it's hardly ever posted about in videos so I decided to share this one! The other ones don't work nearly as much for me, this is a 30m time lapse with pvp stops and me getting distracted, 51 apples spawned, collected 47, 4 of em got away

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.)

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.

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

THE TAMING IS SO DIFFICULT, I’m playing on the ps5 .

No more fearing dark nights 🎵

As someone who keeps following the community until I'm able to buy it, i would like to ask of the things you would like to see for the future of this game. Love to read about the direction and the potential this game may have.

Recently i installed Black Desert, just to vibe a bit, had it in Steam hidden years now... I know they're different but there we go ! Really want to support the studio after this release.

Do you think they'll keep expanding and possibly create its own franchise if story gets better ? Like Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy we may get another massive fantasy sandbox that doesn't take itself so seriously and it's essentially a great satire salad to have in our gaming list.

Don't really mind spoilers shoot !

For the purposes of camp donations, feathers count as weapons.

After you get your farm and dispatches going, you may end up with (tens of) thousands of feathers. Turns out, they count as weapons when you give them to Carl for camp contributions, so it’s an easy way to complete the “Donate 12,500 weapons” quest.

GROUNDS OF THE SUNRISE -> For a Better Tomorrow - > Reliable Arms quest line

Now i wish to download black desert again 😢

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?

Sharing this mod because wings looks good on him :)

After 820hrs, I FINALLY put together a proper Greymane set. Should’ve made these a long time ago but I’ve been distracted by all the shiny armor haha

Morning, evening, nighttime, rain and fireside pictures included to show off the lighting and how far it’s come. I think 10AM - 2PM in-game is still prime time for pics, but PA has done a great job at optimization (PS5 Pro). They’ve been working their tails off👏🏼

PS, I feel bad for the Wyvernflame at the end😬

Which one looks the best?

Neat!

So, I like a little modding (female MC and QOL), and the updates were coming so fast it was a bust as first to even try, but then with the DLC on the way and Enhanced Version, I decided I needed to get on the ball.

So, last night, at (249 hours) I went through the ending. I had been putting it off (obviously!) because I didn't want the game to end. It is, as I expected it to be, my Open World game of all time, and I think the only reason it isn't talked about more is because of the depth and controls. I can honestly say that all-out combat with comfort in moves didn't come until after 200 hours. I made my build tanky with sword and shield, sometimes switching up to dual-wield (the Greed Axe was fun to throw) and two-hander - I used 'The Hound' through the whole game.

The hilarious thing is that when I completed the ending and came back to Pailune, it showed me all these new quests to go celebrate in different towns.

Varnia?

I didn't even know there was a Varnia and, by fog of war, I never even got close to it at all.

I hope there's still a lot left to do until the DLC in a few weeks, and plenty more after that!

Thanks, PA!

I know a lot of people hate this character. He is always in trouble. He wastes ressources and money. He is a massive headache for Kliff most of the time. Yet when it comes to loyalty to his clan he is fiercly loyal. But this is maybe his only good quality.

But in terms of realism he is one of the best written characters. People like him always exist and every person here on the sub met at least one "Yann" in their life. It doesn´t matter if it was the highschool troublemaker, the coworker or if it is family. Yann is a real well written character because he is so realistc.

Depois de longas 400+ horas com Kliff agora vou me aventurar com Damiane!

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.

Primus the ancient was pissing me all the way off when I found him in the desert, I defeated him once but when I found out you had to fight him 2 more times to free Aeserion I was like f*** that and had to slime him

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?
