A newly discovered cheese method using environmental objects makes taking down the Crowcaller boss in Crimson Desert much easier, according to a recent guide by Polygon.
Tackling major encounters in open world action RPGs usually requires mastering precise timing and gear management, but sometimes the community finds a clever shortcut. In Pearl Abyss's upcoming title Crimson Desert, players facing the intimidating Crowcaller boss have discovered a reliable cheese method that simplifies the fight. According to a detailed breakdown by Marloes Valentina Stella over at Polygon, utilizing specific environmental objects can drastically turn the tide of battle. Before attempting the encounter, you still need to prepare adequately by stocking up on grilled meats for health restoration, upgrading your stamina to at least level four, and refining your gear.
The real secret to bypassing the usual difficulty spike in this three phase encounter revolves around the Nature's Grasp skill. After clearing out the initial wave of minions in the Crow's Nest and surviving the opening cutscene, you can lure the boss toward the trees scattered around the arena. Once the Crowcaller damages a tree trunk without completely destroying it, you can use Nature's Grasp to slam the remaining timber directly into him. This tactic instantly depletes his health bar during the first and third phases of the fight, leaving you to only worry about his trickier second phase where teleportation and dive bomb attacks come into play.
While environmental combat exploits are always fun to execute, standard mechanics still require your attention during the trickier moments of the duel. When the boss unleashes his red slash combos, keeping your guard up or timing your parries is essential for survival. If you spot him crossing his swords before taking flight, prepare a well timed dodge roll to avoid his devastating dive bomb.
