Common errors when playing Crimson Desert

Crimson Desert is a great action and exploration game that has just been released. If you want to conquer Crimson Desertyou need to avoid the common mistakes below.

Crimson Desert is an open-world action game that does not guide the player from start to finish. Therefore, you have to spend many hours just to learn some basic mechanics. To help you save time, this article will list common mistakes to avoid when playing Crimson Desert.

Investing in these skills too early

Crimson Desert gives players some great skills right from the start. Most of the skills in Crimson Desert can be unlocked with the Abyss Artifact from the start, and that leads to a big problem. New players often get carried away with all the different skills and start investing in them without proper planning.

First of all, you should always invest in Stamina and Health skill points right from the beginning of the game, without unlocking other flashy skills. This will allow you to explore faster, withstand more damage to overcome difficult boss battles.

Next, avoid investing in the Flight and Axiom branches without increasing your Stamina. You can’t even use Axiom skills if you don’t meet certain stamina requirements. Similarly, the Flight skill in Crimson Desert is basically useless if stamina is low.

The skills you should invest in early for a smoother experience, after upgrading your Stamina and Health, are Armed Combat, Blinding Flash, and Spinning Slash. These equipment will significantly upgrade your fighting ability right from the beginning of the game.

Turn your inventory into a trash can

The inventory in Crimson Desert is extremely small to begin with, and the game throws tons of items at you: recipes, quest notes, bounties, crafting materials, weapons, food… After just two hours of play, you’re out of space.

What many players don’t realize is that each note and recipe takes up a slot in the inventory. Bonus notes, comments on the request board, recipes you’ve memorized – they all take up space. After reading and memorizing a recipe, sell it to the shopkeeper to make a little extra money.

Above all, never leave any items on the ground with the intention of picking them up later. Unlike Skyrim, items placed on the ground in Crimson Desert disappear forever. No storage, no personal safe – if you don’t need it, sell it. Otherwise, you will lose it.

Just focus on the main task

Playing the main quest in Crimson Desert is a great way to unlock new skills. However, they are also the most annoying part of the game. The plot in the main quest is almost non-existent.

Half of it is simply trivial stuff, and some of the boss fights can be extremely difficult if you only play the main quest. Only when you stop pursuing the main quest does the world of Crimson Desert truly open up. Each area has hidden items and some powerful weapons that you shouldn’t miss. The game allows you to freely explore the entire game map from the beginning, so don’t hesitate and keep exploring the game.

Ignore the bell tower when entering the new area

When arriving in a new land, your first reflex should be to look for bell towers. Each area has several bell towers, and ringing the bell will reveal a large portion of the map instantly. Otherwise, you will have to grope in the dark with countless question marks.

The worst part is that bell towers are often very visible, right in the middle of cities. But because the game doesn’t make it clear “go ring the bell”many players miss this and waste a lot of time exploring without landmarks. That’s the first thing to do in every new land.

Rush headlong into challenges blindly

Crimson Desert has complex difficulty. Some parts are really difficult, while others are as easy as a walk in the park. The mistake many people make is jumping right into a challenge without planning or preparation.

When you’re stuck in a boss fight in Crimson Desert, what matters isn’t your skills but your stats. This includes health, stamina, defense, and damage. If you’re stuck in a challenge, you should explore and power up first instead of constantly rushing into the difficulty.
