The latest update for Crimson Desert is here, and it includes the three difficulty levels – Easy, Normal, and Hard – that were announced. Normal difficulty is similar to what players are used to, so the big question is: what changes does Hard mode bring to the game?
Beyond making enemies hit harder and reducing the invulnerability window during rolls and parries, this update also introduces unique attack patterns for each boss. But that’s just a glimpse of what’s new – it also adds several storage chests to help you organize crafting materials, food, quest items, recipes, and outfits.
You can choose from several different houses, ranging from the Compact House to the larger Spacious Pailunese House, as you expand your camp. Plus, you’ll have five new cat breeds to choose from, and can even turn the Abyss Heuklang into a pet. A new quest and item also let you tame birds!
The update also includes several improvements to make the game more enjoyable. You can now send your Greymanes on missions once, or have them repeat the same mission to gather resources. Throughout the world of Pywel, you’ll find new vendors selling livestock. Plus, there are 13 new tattoos to personalize your character, and the non-player characters (NPCs) now behave more realistically and react to what’s happening around them.
Check out some of the patch notes below and full details here.
