Crimson Desert Update 2.00 Released – Full Patch Notes

5 Comments

Pearl Abyss has just released Title Update 2.00 for Crimson Desert Enhanced and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this first patch for the game’s Enhanced Version brings to the table.

Patch 2.00 adds new cutscenes and story moments to enhance the game’s narrative, along with five new voice languages and one new subtitle and interface language. It also introduces new skills and improvements to the skill system.

In case you’re wondering, the Enhanced Version is a free upgrade to all owners of the base game. You don’t have to buy an upgrade or anything like that. Once you launch Steam, it will download and update the game to this Enhanced Version.

Going into more details, Patch 2.00 adds Abyss Link as a new skill-learning resource. When a character uses Abyss Artifacts to learn a skill, an equivalent number of Abyss Links will be granted to the other playable characters.

This new update also improves the skill system. Players can now reset skill progress for each character on their own. You no longer have to reset skills for every character at once.

Each character can also use their own Abyss Links to learn new skills. When you reset a character’s skill progress, the Abyss Links they used are refunded.

Update 2.00 also adds a feature that lets players carry over Abyss Links and other in-game currency from an existing save when starting a new game. This feature becomes available after completing all main quests.

And there is more. Patch 2.00 fixes an issue where items would not be crafted properly at the Kilnden Workshop. It fixes an issue where Blackstar could be ridden without a cooldown in certain situations, and it fixes an issue where the player would be sent to the prison at Calphadean Castle after being captured as a wanted criminal in Calphade while the region was at war.

It’s also worth noting that this new patch brings some control and combat tweaks. For instance, it adds the “Flying Mount Controls” option. This has two settings. Camera and Manual. If you select the Camera Mode, Flying Mounts will move in the direction the camera is facing. In Manual Mode, Flying mounts no longer the direction of the camera, and can ascend or descend using other inputs.

Patch 2.00 reduces the damage taken by characters who fight alongside the player.

It also fixes an issue that stopped Axiom Force from being used while flying in safe zones. Another fix prevents players from taking damage when The Forgotten General’s phantom knight appears nearby.

The patch also fixes the ricochet effect of the Strongbow Gloves when using special arrows. It fixes an issue where the character could be thrown in the wrong direction after using the Nature’s Grasp skill.

Finally, the battle against Golden Star is now split into clear phases. Each phase also has its own attack patterns.

As always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below, you can also find its full patch notes.
