Learn the cheese method to defeat the Crimson Nightmare in Crimson Desert. This guide details how to use Focused Repulsion, clear mobs, and equip the Scarlet Blades Gas Mask for an easier win.
Walkthrough
- 1Unlock Focused Repulsion: Before fighting Crimson Nightmare, ensure you have unlocked the Focused Repulsion skill. This skill is unlocked by raising Focus to Lv. 2 or observing it in action.
- 2Clear Enemy Mobs: Upon entering the arena, eliminate all surrounding enemy soldiers first. This prevents interference during the main boss fight.
- 3Equip Scarlet Blades Gas Mask: Before engaging Crimson Nightmare, equip the Scarlet Blades Gas Mask. This item grants immunity to the confusion status effect, which the boss frequently inflicts. The gas mask can be farmed from nearby enemies in Fort Perwin.
- 4Use Focused Repulsion: Enter Focus Mode and use Focused Repulsion on the Crimson Nightmare's cube. This will dissipate the orange mist and knock the cube to the ground, creating a ~10-second damage window.
- 5Burst Damage: During the opening, unleash your most powerful attacks and skills on the boss.
- 6Repeat: Once the cube recovers, use Focused Repulsion again to bring it down and repeat the damage phase.
- 7Positioning: To avoid the cube being knocked too far away after using Focused Repulsion, lure the boss near Watchtowers.
