Those are some of the best unique weapons to be found in Crimson Desert.

This guide for Crimson Desert is about unlocking all four elements and the recommended skills to have for an easier experience.

Lightning Surge

Once you have reached Scholastone Institute in Scholastone by Chapter 4, continue on towards the Spire of the Stars. This location has a portal to the Abyss which will lead you to the Sanctorum of Insight. Solve the puzzle here and do a little platforming to arrive at the Secret Garden.

This location has a simple plug-and-play puzzle to solve. Enter the door and ascend to the surface to repair the device to proceed further. More platforming will eventually take you to the Vault of Vengeance.

Move the cubes into position, and then fire at the yellow targets simultaneously. Do the same multi-target shot in the laser room next. Proceed onwards through more laser fields and short puzzles till you reach the surface. Further platforming will bring you to the Courtyard of Precision.

The puzzle here is more of the same simultaneous multiple target variety, and at the end of it all is your prize: Lightning Surge, which creates a field of electricity for 10 Spirit.

Recommended Skills:

• Axiom Force
• Force Palm/Aerial Force Palm for easy platforming
• Flight/Swift Flight for easy traversal
• Force Current for puzzle solving
• Marksmanship/Focused Shot for targeted firing

Frost Mantle

Proceed to the Spire of Ringing Truth, south-west of Wayward Woods. This location has a portal to the Abyss which will lead you to the Ether Rest.

Ascend the air currents by gliding to reach another puzzle. Some platforming and more gliding later will bring you to Frostbitten Paradise.

This puzzle is entirely Axiom Force dependent, as you move objects around to activate switches. More platforming leads to the Path of Trials.

Ascend to the next puzzle, which requires you to extract a frozen chip and immerse it in a pool of lava. Once thawed, plug it into its socket in order to continue upwards to the very summit of this tower to receive Frost Mantle, which creates a barrier of frost around you.

Recommended Skills:

• Axiom Force
• Force Palm/Aerial Force Palm for easy platforming
• Flight/Swift Flight for easy traversal
• Force Current for puzzle solving

Flame Strike

This element’s gauntlet is linked directly to the end of Frost Mantle. Continue platforming from there to reach the Sanctorum of Darkness.

Move the laser to the button, then double back and descend one level to the spinning door. Once inside, grab the chip and ascend to the surface. Socket the chip to activate a new laser to focus on another button. Once set in place, don’t dawdle but quickly glide through the turbine to the other side before it spins up fully. Hit the button, and then head upwards and out for some more platforming till you reach the Loop of Life

Grab a chip and socket it to initiate the first ring into a spin, then grab the next chip for the sealed door leading up to the second ring. Once through the door, take both the chip here and the previous one to the second ring. Socket one chip, and take the remaining one to the third ring. Hit the button to wrap up this puzzle and platform onward to the Tree of Slumber.

Stand atop the columns and slam them until a ring of white appears around each one to light up the central one. Hit it to unlock Flame Strike, which performs a powerful strike while wreathed in flame.

Recommended Skills:

• Axiom Force
• Force Palm/Aerial Force Palm for easy platforming
• Flight/Swift Flight for easy traversal
• Force Current for puzzle solving

Storm Veil

Storm Veil is locked behind a lot more story progression, until you reach the Spire of Clockwork in Chapter 8. You will have acquired the key to access it in the previous chapter. Once through the Spire of Clockwork Main Gate, you will simply need to ascend through the clockwork mechanism to reach Riddle Square.

This is a timed challenge where you will be flying through a number of rings before hitting a button. And that’s it, you now have Storm Veil, which deploys a smoke cloud to escape enemy sight.

Recommended Skills:

• Axiom Force
• Flight/Swift Flight for easy traversal
• Force Current for puzzle solving

Those are all four elemental skills and how to get them in Crimson Desert.

This guide is all about earning copper, silver, and gold quickly and efficiently in Crimson Desert.

Red Croton Farming

Right from the start you have access to a resource farming location right next to a fast travel point. Head into the woods south of Hernand to find the Abyss Nexus in The Witchwoods. In the vicinity is an abundance of Red Crotons, a flower that you can store and sell in stacks of 50. Look around for any other farmable materials or resources, once you have stripped the location clean of the flowers themselves.

The Abyss Nexus can conveniently take you right back to Hernand to sell your wares for quick cash. Return to this location after a week or so, in order to farm it all over again.

Selling Loot

You will be amassing way more gear and equipment than you know what to do with, so simply dispose of it all with any merchant you come across.

Attempt to expand your inventory at every opportunity, just so that you can bring more loot home for selling.

Hunting

Wild fauna are a nice passive source for sellable materials, given that they will not fight back. Those materials will also come in handy for upgrades at some point.

As a matter of fact, you might be better served by first upgrading any armor you intend on selling, for a better profit margin.

Ore Farming

Most minerals are not quite abundant in Pywel, and so it is preferable to retain them for upgrades early on, even though they eventually respawn. If you need a quick infusion, and are confident you will not need the ores any time soon, feel free to exchange them for money.

Diamonds, however, are relatively more disposable in the early game as you will not be needing them in the short term, and by the time that you actually do, they will have respawned again anyway. Find a convenient diamond mine at a cave in a crater, west of Unicorn Cliff in Hernand.

At just over two and a quarter silvers per diamond, and up to eight diamonds per node, you can quickly amass a small fortune.

Bear in mind that the entirety of the map is open for almost immediate exploration, so there’s practically nothing stopping you from mining rare minerals in distant regions, well before you would normally come across them by following the natural story progression.

Thievery

Burglarizing the Hernand bank is a viable strategy, even in the early game, and you may randomly acquire close to a hundred silver by doing so. However, this is not recommended as it will tank your Hernadian Contribution in town, and hamper your progress until you course correct through questing.

You will need a Mask to accomplish this, which allows criminal behavior and can be either looted from defeated bandits, rewarded by a specific bounty, or purchased from Grimrak at the Back Alley Shop.

A Key is also required, and can be either a random drop, or a purchase from Grimrak.

The chests in the bank will respawn after a few days, but the strongboxes do not.

Gold Bar Alchemy Recipe

You can also make Gold Bars by acquiring the blueprint for it and then visiting the Witches or the Blacksmith. The required crafting materials are:

• Brimstone x3
• Mercury x3
• Silver Ore x10

Head to Silver Wolf Mountain in Pailune. The location of the blueprint is inside a well-hidden cave with a narrow entrance, situated in the WItch’s Hideout.

While viewing the map, this point of interest is in a straight line south of the ‘U’ in Pailune, and east of the ‘I’.

Those are some of the best ways to grind for money in Crimson Desert.

This guide for Crimson Desert is all about getting the All-Terrain Armored Gear (ATAG) mech

How To Get The All-Terrain Armored Gear (ATAG)

The mech finally becomes accessible over the course of Chapter 10: Counterattack. This puts the unlock roughly 50 to 60 hours into the game’s main storyline, and involves use of the mech to destroy attackers in defense of Gorthak, bastion of the Ironflame Orcs. This unfolds during the questline of ‘Secret Weapon’ where you also initially learn how to operate the A.T.A.G.

How To Unlock The All-Terrain Armored Gear (ATAG) Blueprint

The actual blueprint required for the crafting of an A.T.A.G. of your own is earned in Chapter 11 by undertaking the ‘New Designs’ quest, which has you speak with the artisan, Marek at Zargan Tankworks in Gorthak Territory.

The reward is a ‘Small Kuku A.T.A.G. Design’, which lets you craft the mech at Hernand’s Mysterious Iron Pot Workshop. The required crafting materials are:

• Kuku Pot x1
• Abyss Cell x1
• Cogwheel x5
• Small Battery x5

Speak with Marek once more in order to get the blueprint for the regular A.T.A.G. that you are familiar with already. The required crafting materials are:

• Small Kuku A.T.A.G. x1
• Small Battery x300
• Cogwheel x300
• Power Core – Verse of Sowing x2
• Core of Benediction x1

All-Terrain Armored Gear (ATAG) Abilities

The ATAG is equipped with Iron Fists, machinegun, cannon, and an EMP. A variety of upgrades are also possible, including more offensive and defensive systems. Eventually, the mech will serve as your offensive mount of choice, especially during the long wait times between dragon summons.

That is everything there is to know about getting the A.T.A.G. mech in Crimson Desert.

This guide for Crimson Desert is all about getting a hold of the dragon mount in the game.

How To Get Blackstar The Abyssal Dragon

The best dragon is an unmissable part of the main storyline, and you will first encounter it in Chapter 9: The Sage of the Desert. This itself is at least 50 hours into the game, and you only unlock it for actual use in Chapter 11: Truth and Reality.

Complete the Foreboding Shadow questline by defeating the boss to permanently acquire Blackstar as a summonable mount.

Blackstar Abilities And Limitations

The primary advantage of the dragons is their ability to easily traverse the entirety of Pywel. Blasting enemies with dragonfire and fireballs is another, though that consumes significant stamina.

The dragon can also evade incoming attacks by barrel rolling and diving sharply.

All of this power is countered by only being available for 15 odd minutes at a time, with a subsequent cooldown time of 50 odd minutes imposed before it can be summoned again. Both of those durations are real-world minutes, not in-game.

There also does not appear to be any in-game method to lower that wait time.

That is everything there is to know about acquiring and summoning the dragon in Crimson Desert.

This WWE 2K26 guide is all about quickly and efficiently grinding for unlocks in just a few hours.

Ringside Pass XP (RXP)

Playing Island on easy is the fastest way to rack up plenty of early RXP from challenges and match actions. The Island Weekly, MyFACTION, MyGM Season challenges, will all contribute more recurring RXP than mere exhibition matches, whether won or lost.

One-shot sources of RXP include completion of Showcase Matches, the MyRise Story, Island Quests, and MyFACTION Lifetime challenges.

Showcase Gauntlet

The most important thing you can do to ease progression is navigate to the Gameplay settings and switch the Submission Mini-Game to ‘Slider’, rather than ‘Rapid’. This has you move a rotating slider to overlap or avoid opponents. Slider should greatly improve your ability to successfully clear submissions.

Just this setting should allow you to breeze through the showcase quickly and unlock everything related.

Grinding RXP

The easiest way to make up the remainder of the RXP you will need in order to reach Tier 40 is with matches in Falls Count Anywhere.

Begin by modifying some settings to eliminate downtime between rounds, since you will be repeating matches over and over for around two hours.

Head to the Gameplay settings, and change Difficulty to ‘Easy’, Weight Detection to ‘Arcade’, Allow Match Start Actions to ‘Off’, and Postmatch Replay to ‘Off’.

In the Advanced settings for the Submission Mini-Game, set both the Strength bars for the Player to 100, and the Penalty sliders to 0. Do the opposite for the AI’s sliders, so Strength to 0, and Penalty to 100. This should make Submissions a cakewalk.

Now load up Falls Count Anywhere, which is a mode where you can win by pin or submission anywhere in the arena.

• Select One on One.
• Choose any arena.
• Play as The Great Muta.
• Select Eric Bischoff as your opponent.
• Start the Match

The Submission Mini-Game advanced settings should let you get a successful submission within seconds of starting the match. The other settings should get you to the Ratings menu immediately after, where you can elect to just hit Rematch to rinse and repeat this method until you have filled out your RXP bar to its maximum.

If you find yourself getting bored with the same wrestler pairing, feel free to switch things up to other wrestlers with whom you have some grappling experience.

That is everything there is to know about grinding RXP in order to quickly max out the Ringside Pass at Tier 40 in WWE 2K26.

This guide for WWE 2K26 is a brief list of tips and tricks that you can use to easily subdue your opponents and win every match.

Easier Submissions

You can greatly improve submissions by weakening your opponent as much as possible first. Do this by targeting successive limbs, before finishing them with a submission.

Tag Team Stray Damage

During tag team matches, take every opportunity you can to weaken any of the opposing team members that are not actually in the ring. Doing this helps whittle down their bar well before you engage them in a proper fight. This is especially important in matches where you may be outnumbered.

Tag Out Often

Be sure to tag out frequently to avoid exhausting your wrestlers and keep the momentum going. Maintaining strength is an important factor in winning tag team matches. The best sequence is to smack your opponent, then target a random non-active opponent for some unsanctioned damage, then get another hit on the active one, before tagging out.

Unexpected Finishers

Delay finishers when you have the opportunity to perform them, especially if your opponent is already on the ground when they are anticipating it. Instead, trigger it unexpectedly, catching them off-guard and preventing them from pre-empting you with a counter-move.

Corner finishers are also some of the most predictable to counter, and should be avoided whenever possible.

Charged Finishers

Don’t bother charging finishers either, as that just gives opponents the opportunity to reverse it. You can always cancel them by using LB/L1.

Promos And Power Cards

Avoid using promo cards willy-nilly, as they can have a much more significant impact when used in the right context.

Save your power cards from commissioner goals, as they will boost ratings by quite a bit. Any others should be used sparingly based on necessity.

Those are a handful of tactics and strategies you can use to perform better in matches in WWE 2K26.

This Pokemon Pokopia guide is all about hunting for Legendary Pokemon using a tried and tested strategy.

How To Unlock Dream Islands

The first step in your quest to collect Legendary Pokemon is unlocking Dream Islands. These standalone worlds are a source for a lot of items, including Stardust, Star Pieces, materials, and resources of all kinds.

Wait till nightfall, and leave Withered Wasteland from the west. Once outside the boundary, bear right in search of a lone Drifloon. Interact with it to begin its quest.

Fulfill its habitat request, and speak to it again for part two of its request, involving Poke Dolls. If you have not stumbled upon one of these already, Drifloon will give you a hint about where to acquire a Poke Doll nearby. Wrap up the Drifloon’s quest to finally unlock Dream Islands.

Dream Island Mechanics

Drifloon can transport you to Dream Islands on demand, simply by setting down and inspecting any given Poke Doll to summon them first. Each unique Poke Doll will take you to a distinct Dream Island, but you can only visit one island each game day.

Once you arrive on the randomly generated island, it will remain static, no matter how many times you leave and return on the same day. Which means that you cannot strip the island clean of its resources and hope to respawn it all. While you remain on the island, the so-called ‘Time Travel’ or date skip method will not work to reset things either. You also cannot visit any other Dream Islands for the duration of that day.

Instead, you will have to either let time progress naturally, or perform the Time Travel method in order to manually move the date forward by one day, specifically while outside of a Dream Island.

When you are on the island and ready to leave, make use of the ‘Return Home’ function in order to be teleported back to Drifloon and avoid time wasted on traversal.

Stardust And Star Pieces

When interacting with Poke Dolls, note the materials listed as predominant on a given Dream Island. Aside from those, you should also farm the goopy-looking materials called Stardust, 99 of which can eventually be combined into a single Star Piece.

Gifting a Star Piece to a visiting Pokemon that you do not already own will beget you a gift in return. Opening that gift within an empty habitat will spawn that same species of Pokemon there, regardless of whether the habitat suits it.

Hunting Legendary Pokemon

Legendary Pokemon can be found within either of the two cave systems that tend to appear on Dream Islands. While not a guaranteed spawn every single time, you can easily reset each island with the method mentioned previously until you stumble upon a good one.

Even when you fail to acquire a Legendary Pokemon, the yellow Pokeballs that you come across will still have plenty of valuable items for use, including Pokemetal ingots and habitat information.

You will know that you have stumbled upon a Legendary Pokemon in the caves visually, when you notice an enclosure of sorts, with the Pokemon confined within. Break through and simply take them home.

That is everything there is to know about exploiting Dream Islands and hunting Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia.
