As gamers work their manner by way of Crimson Desert, they’re discovering an increasing number of sudden issues they will do in the open world. We’ve seen gamers be taught they will tag group to an extent, prepare dinner meat with gentle from their sword, and even catapult themselves throughout the map with the energy of bushes. However this subsequent discover… properly, I don’t assume anybody noticed this one coming.
Warning! Spoilers… and possibly a NSFW tag for Crimson Desert to comply with:
Anybody who’s performed Crimson Desert will realize it’s filled with animals massive and small. Many animals you’ll be able to truly choose up (one early quest duties you with lugging a sheep throughout city). Enter StaffProfessional68, who had a considered the animals I doubt many others would have.
In the clip beneath, we see StaffProfessional68 choose up a raccoon after which submerge it in water. After a dozen seconds, the raccoon dies, letting the participant pores and skin it for assets (a small bone, two lean meat, and three skinny hides, in the event you had been questioning). Sure, Crimson Desert truly has an animal drowning mechanic, seemingly for no cause in any respect.
StaffProfessional68’s video, which has practically 2,000 upvotes on reddit, was met with a combine of horror at the participant’s actions, and reward for the builders at Pearl Abyss for having this type of element in the recreation. Right here’s a snippet:
“I assumed, ‘Oh he’s going to present us how to tame the raccoons,’ and I bought all excited…” “Caught between worrying about you and considering the devs did a nice job lol,” stated one other. “Wow, that is merciless! However 10/10 for the Devs!” one other commented. Added one other participant: “You monster!!! 10/10 gameplay.”
Ultimately, gamers puzzled if this works with different animals. It appears StaffProfessional68 has been thorough with their checks, confirming it really works with cats and even youngsters (the child goat form, not the human form, though I wouldn’t put it previous this recreation). So sure, Crimson Desert does certainly have a drowning mechanic for some animals.
However what’s the level of this characteristic? There isn’t any manner to butcher an animal reminiscent of the raccoon after catching one on this manner, leaving the solely choice to place it again on the floor — or, as we’ve seen, drown it. Or, you’ll be able to carry the animal again to the Livestock Black Market service provider to promote it to them, however that looks like a lot of work for little achieve.
So, this one simply appears to be a bit of a bizarre hidden element, yet one more instance of the lengths Pearl Abyss went to to make Crimson Desert as a lot of an open world sandbox as it’s an open world motion recreation. It’s all getting a bit Pink Lifeless Redemption 2, isn’t it?
