00:00CRIMSON DESERT FEATURES
00:12Hello everyone!
00:14Welcome back to another Crimson Desert Features overview video.
00:18Last time we took a closer look at PyWel, its characters, the stories within, and open-world exploration.
00:26Today, we'll be shifting our attention to another important aspect of the game, combat and progression.
00:40Combat in Crimson Desert is visceral, and the battlefield is yours to shape.
00:48You will grow your arsenal of skills, weapons, and equipment, and it'll be up to you how you use them.
00:56Whether it's an aggressive offense, precisely timed defense,
01:05or even using your mount and the environment to your advantage.
01:10Combat in PyWel is full of possibility.
01:13Wield a wide array of weapons from sword and shield, spears, greatswords, axes, and various ranged weapons.
01:26Each weapon has its own advantages, so switch back and forth to the ones that best fit your style and the situation you're in.
01:35Powerful weapon skills can be paired with hard-hitting barehanded hits and kicks, as well as a wide range of grapples to create seamless chains of attacks.
01:55Elemental enhancements further expand your options by empowering key abilities, allowing you to burn, freeze, and stun enemies.
02:07So combine weapons and chain skills the way you want, and forge your own approach to combat.
02:17Your mobility and timing are also a big factor in combat.
02:22Slides, dodges, counters, and swings flow directly into attacks, keeping you mobile and relentless.
02:35Well-timed guards and dodges open up enemies for a counter, letting you strike back and keeping up the pressure.
02:47The result is combat that feels grounded, yet explosive and endlessly expressive.
03:06Of course, the skills you've just seen won't all be available from the start.
03:11If you've seen some of our previous gameplay videos, Cliff is usually shown at a much greater height of his power, wielding a wide range of devastating skills.
03:28But when you awaken in the aftermath of the Black Bear's assault at the start of your journey, you start from scratch, with a more limited set of abilities and equipment.
03:41A core part of your journey in Pyewill is the transformation from a survivor into a truly formidable Greymane, and you decide how that progression takes place.
03:55As we mentioned in our previous features video, you will acquire artifacts, fragments of the Abyss that have fallen to the world below, through quests, combat, and exploration.
04:06They lie at the end of many trials, in the possession of powerful bosses, and hidden across Pyewill, including up in the Abyss.
04:15Acquiring these artifacts will be crucial to your progression, as they enable you to increase core stats like health and stamina, unlock new skills for more skill chaining potential, and enhance existing ones, thereby increasing your combat and exploration capabilities.
04:34Some skills and upgrades cannot be obtained through artifacts alone, and must be observed first-hand out in the world.
04:42You may be the type to want to upgrade your stamina quickly to run and glide around the world longer to explore.
04:48Or you may want to unlock and upgrade all the diverse grappling skills to continuously slam enemies into the ground.
05:02Decide which skills you want to combine and unleash during combat, and choose the direction of your progression by considering your playstyle.
05:20While learning and mastering your skills is important to winning battles, the equipment you bring to the battlefield can be just as crucial.
05:42As you travel across Pyewill, you can buy, find, and craft the gear that gives you the edge in combat.
05:54The mighty blade tests the heart of its master.
06:04Your equipment can be upgraded for higher stats.
06:11Materials for upgrading your weapons, armor, and equipment can be found in a wide range of ways.
06:18Through mining and hunting.
06:22Defeating powerful bosses.
06:27Through quests and by uncovering them in hidden locations.
06:33You will also be able to customize equipment with extra stats and special effects.
06:50Mix and match these across your weapons and armor, and experiment to discover what combinations work best for you in the battlefield and out in the world.
06:58All of that preparation leads to your greatest tests.
07:05Across the continent of Pyewill, fearsome bosses rule, waiting for your challenge.
07:11They come in many forms.
07:13Human and beast.
07:15Steel and sorcery.
07:17Brute force and mystery.
07:20They'll test your limits in different ways.
07:23At the end of these hard fought encounters, special rewards await.
07:29Some equipment earned from bosses can even grant access to their signature abilities.
07:34Or, grant unique effects and bonuses.
07:39So build on the strength you gain through each victory.
07:42Take down these threats of Pyewill and prove yourself a true Greymane.
07:47That brings us to the end of this Features Overview video.
07:55We hope you look forward to Crimson Desert's combat and your progression journey as you explore and fight across Pyewill.
08:01Thanks for watching, and we'll see you in our next and final Features Overview video.
