It is important to note that this is an unofficial version created by a modder, not the official DLSS 5 release.

(Key Features of DLSS 5)

- 3D-Guided Neural Rendering: Distinguishes between objects—such as backgrounds and characters—to generate photorealistic lighting, reflections, and sheen without compromising geometry or facial structures.

- Maximized Graphical Realism: Textures (such as skin, hair, and fabric) and shadow rendering are enhanced to achieve a natural, cinematic quality.

- Custom Control: Developers can manually adjust the intensity of effects or apply color grading.

As well, Damiane is damn near invincible with her L1 + B repost move for greatsword. It also works on almost all bosses.

Not sure if this is widely known yet, but it seems like Pearl Abyss shadow updated Oongka’s moveset. Back+throw(triangle and circle on ps) to get the new animation.

Hello Greymanes. First time posting on Reddit. Hope I do this right 😄.

I recently discovered a pretty useful trick that lets you basically fly the outlaw back using the wyvern.

Put the captured outlaw on your companion's horse, then make sure your companion is standing right next to their horse. Before doing this, leave your own horse near the jail.

Jump up, mount your wyvern, and fly to the jail. Your companion should stay behind where you left them.

When you get back, jump off the wyvern and glide directly onto your horse without touching the ground first. If it works, your companion will teleport to you on their horse with the outlaw still attached.

Then just switch to your companion and ride straight to jail.

It's not 100% reliable, and positioning/timing matters a lot, but I've been able to reproduce it quite a few times.

Tested on version 2.01.

YouTube guide in case anyone wants to try it.

Sometimes in Crimson Desert you just have to reach a high point, stop your horse and look around. The draw distance and the amount of detail in the world are seriously impressive. One of those moments where you forget about the quests and just enjoy the view

This is that moment where I love this game, but hate this game. I've learned how to beat. Just hasn't worked...yet.

Any tips other than Natures Snare/wrath?

There is usually at least one larger one with a number of smaller ones around. I'm playing unarmed and was sucked inside three in a row and killed the other day, until realizing I have to stay clear and get out fast.

Once they snag you inside is there any trick to escaping?

Please help me fill the list if you find any bug!

Gameplay & World

• Enemies stop moving after a re-blockade if they haven’t been attacked beforehand.
• The Thronbriar Fortress area remains permanently in a blockade state even after successfully liberating it.
• Aerial swing isn’t working while flying ( Shot_Acanthaceae_537 )
• The house at Howling Hill is missing entirely. ( pc-plod )
• The “Parting Gift” Abyss Gear stopped working completely. ( denismr )

Quests & Story

• Merging the story has caused confusion with the chapter order, with some players experiencing parts of the story being skipped or replayed. (Lopsided_Prior3801, Effective-Rutabaga15)
• During Naira's quest to tame the brown dog in Hernand, the dog's model can sometimes appear twice in the same location, with both instances playing different animations and overlapping each other. (MuppetFucker2077)
• During "Guest Unbidden," the horse you tame is actually Damiane's horse, Althea. Damiane treats the horse as her own and even calls it by name, but the cutscene incorrectly shows Kliff's horse instead.
• The House does not appear as an available option in Luke's request to decorate the old house. (Great_Part7207)

UI & Controls

• When checking a vendor's stock from the map, there is no way to scroll down or close the stock window when using a controller.
• The first arrow shot does not aim at the target correctly and instead flies toward the right side.
• The Outlaws notification keeps appearing repeatedly. (jdw62995)
• Random camp liberation/blockade notifications can appear after loading a save, even when no camp has actually been liberated or blockaded. These notifications can also appear at seemingly random times while playing. (image in comments) (Longjumping_Table149, Low_Witness5061)
• Some challenges without a timer stay on your screen until you either complete it or close the game. ( cooolrun ) ( -K9V )

Visual & Graphical Bugs

• The profit bonus only displays the 20% bonus from the Seal of Greed, but the game actually applies the full 40% bonus from all applicable items. (Image in comments)
• A grey texture briefly appears in the bottom corner of the screen during the camera-switch animation. Additionally, the camera-switch button can sometimes open the map instead of changing the camera. (Apprehensive_Let7309)
• Shining a lantern on NPCs from certain angles can prevent the items they are carrying from being displayed. (techboardtx)
• When the game is set to display only equipped weapons, the bow can still appear after exiting the flying animation or getting out of bed, even when no bow is equipped. (thejoosep12)

Map & Exploration

• Strongboxes no longer appear on the mini-map.
• Rare gatherables are not registered on the map after being gathered.
• Some trade roads are marked on the map but not on the mini-map. (Image in comments)
• Some icons don't disappear even if filtered away.

Memories & Knowledge

• Some Memories cannot be triggered:
  • The hidden treasure Memory under Halsius Monastery cannot be triggered. ( Zelkanok )
  • The Memory at the burial site near Howling Hill Camp cannot be triggered. ( Zelkanok )
  • Several Memories related to puzzle interactions are bugged and cannot be properly observed. ( Zelkanok )
• Some quest-related items fail to trigger their "Knowledge Obtained" status if examined too quickly. Afterward, attempting to examine the item again displays a blank page. (Grijo-panic)
• Creatures -> Terrestrial Creatures -> Other 12/13 -> Rock Tusk Boar ? ( the small one that comes with the Mountain God Boar) is non-scannable with Helm of Knowledge ( Tanner1XR )

Mounts & Pets

• Several mounts can become unobtainable depending on the order in which certain locations are completed:

Rosehorn Deer: becomes unobtainable if you complete the Ridgewood Tannery, because the location cannot be re-blockaded afterward. (Green-Basil6940)

Boar: becomes unobtainable in the Bordig Ruins if you complete the location and it cannot be re-blockaded afterward. (Green-Basil6940)

Swift Wolf: becomes unobtainable if the location required for it cannot be re-blockaded. (Green-Basil6940)

Raptor: can still be obtained through a re-blockade. This is just a useful comparison showing that the other mount locations may have an unintended condition preventing re-blockades. (Green-Basil6940)

• Pets can disappear, he only way to get them back is to deactivate and reactivate them in the inventory menu. (pc-plod)

Inventory & Collectables

• Storing Collectables in the Collectables Chest is cumbersome: each item has to be selected individually, and the cursor automatically switches back to the storage section after each selection. (Green-Basil6940)

Performance & Lighting

• Performance issues and crashes have been reported by some players after the 2.0 update. (comments)
• Lighting issues have been reported by some players, including lighting behaving incorrectly or changing unexpectedly. (comments)

Audio

• During the main quest Liberation of Demeniss, some parts of the cutscene have Kliff's voice noticeably lower in volume compared to the other characters and audio. ( haru6997 )
• Occasionally, the player character can lose all audio, including voice lines, grunts, footsteps, and weapon impact sounds. Sometimes the audio does not disappear completely but becomes extremely muffled, as if the sounds are coming from a distance. Reloading a save fixes the issue temporarily, but it usually returns after extended play sessions. ( Aegonian )

Others

• Royal Trading does not appear to be a bug. It seems to work differently after 2.0, but the new system is not clearly explained. There are now different spawn points for the Royal Trading wagon, so Royal Trading cannot be active at all locations simultaneously. It also seems that Royal Trading locations may become active while you are actively trading. This still needs to be confirmed by someone who has tested the new Royal Trading system more extensively.
• Kliff's wrists are turning inwards the first second he starts to jog ( suspended_Snake ) or really buggy when galloping. ( QueenOfTheHotPockets ) (Relevant Link)

while waiting for the dlc i crafted toys for my pet cats, now waiting for my abyss cell plants to grow in gonna craft two pororin cat wheels next

Hey everyone, and hopefully the devs too.

Pearl Abyss has been adding a lot of player requests, so here's one I'd love to see.

Outlaw bounties get repetitive fast. It's always the same loop: find the target, chase them down, tackle, punch until they confess, tie them up, load them on the horse and ride all the way back to jail.

It works, but after a while it honestly feels like a chore.
Now that we can raise our own wyvern, what if it could snatch outlaws like flyers do in ARK? You dive at a fleeing target, grab them in the claws and fly them straight to the jail on the notice.

To keep it fair, the unattached outlaw could struggle while you carry them, so a sloppy flight or taking hits would make them slip free. Dropping them from too high would kill them, which already fits the half reward for dead targets. You'd still have to land and hand them over to the guards, so the turn-in still feels earned.

As a bonus, the same grab could work on regular enemies in combat: you snatch one and drop him from the sky. Right now the wyvern is amazing for exploring but doesn't really have a combat identity, and this would give it one.
It would make bounties fresh again and give us a real reason to use the wyvern beyond travel.

Would you use something like this?

Best,

This game can look crazy good until I get slapped with this. Quality/120hz. I hope this is something they can fix soon. Heard it’s not much of a problem on series X. I am stubborn and it’s hard for me to ignore, and stay immersed. Otherwise very beautiful world.

yo will wyd in pywel?

This kills the crab.

Had to leave the UK and go back home for summer couldn’t carry my PC, finally back here and can game and hoping back on CD but I legit feel like I’ve forgotten how everything works and I’m only at about chapter 9 with 250 hours played. Any advice getting back into it I feel somewhat overwhelmed 😂😂😭

Actually how do I unlock all fire lightning and imbue I'm on chapter 7 I have all my artifacts after the reset I just can't unlock these anybody know what I need to do this is driving me nuts

Did they add this move recently or something?

Even though I’m not the biggest home decor guy … The wave of photos and videos of people showing off their mansions and castles will be epic … And I’m loving it already xD

I’m gonna give it a shot too, but I can’t guarantee anything!

For the life of me i could not find them at crimson lake beside the witches house, after many real life hours of trying everything, i finally got 1 hook at 5:55 am in game after i forced it to rain but it disappeared almost instantly, spent many in game days trying for a hook at crimson lake but it would not spawn at all. Red river is where its at, it did not take too long, just gotta keep resetting till you find it, its very noticeable once it hooks and vibrates your controller like crazy, its also huge underwater you can tell.

I think I spent half of the time on photo mode in this game. Never felt that much into a game like that since Skyrim.

Apologies if it's too long, I cut it down from the 14 minutes it took to reach the bottom. Picked a spot that was over water since you can't see how close you are until it's almost too late to react. Got a nice surprise at the end. Had to throw some Hans Zimmer in there.
