Just days after its last major update for Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss has released another, comparatively smaller patch. It’s not exactly bustling with new features, but what’s here will satisfy players, including five additional boss rematches, bringing the total to 74.
Also, as promised, Damiane has received unarmed combat skills, which can be accessed in the Skill menu under “Fists.” She – and Oongka – also gain another move from Kliff’s repertoire: Aerial Stab. Good for attacking enemies in mid-air, great for traversal (especially up cliffs), it’s a strong addition to anyone’s arsenal.
As for Kliff, he can now use Blinding Flash Finisher in unarmed combat. And in case you were reeling from the number of special mounts recently added, you can register even more types of wolves and bears as mounts. Specific mounts have also received reins for that extra bit of realism.
Other additions include Oongka’s Explosive Strike gaining a second charge, improvements to Damiane’s general animations when unarmed, and some much-needed quality of life for most unarmed attacks when hitting grounded enemies. There’s also a much-needed fix for the mission, “Deferred Advance,” that prevented Blackstar’s health from recovering if you gave up or retried.
Check out some of the patch notes below and full details here.
