Rather, you slowly fall to the ground no matter how high your Stamina. So, anything that makes you boost around quicker while flying would be welcome. Enter, this latest glitch\/mechanic\/who knows at this point?<\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }]]><\/style>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Now, there are a few skills you\u2019ll need to unlock (you can watch and learn them or just buy them) before you can make this work, and be warned: making it work is rather fiddly. And even when you do, it\u2019s unclear whether this actually gets you significantly farther than you can without using it. But let\u2019s run \u2014 or fly \u2014 with it for now.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">You\u2019ll need the Aerial Roll skill (in the health tree) and the Focused Repulsion skill (one of the nodes in the Focus skill) to do this entire combo (Crimson Desert input commands sometimes feel like fighting game combos!).<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While flying, click both thumb sticks in to enter Focus Mode, do the Aerial Roll (the Circle button on a PlayStation controller), then, as you boost, \u2018Unleash\u2019 (R1) to exit Focus Mode and, somehow, keep boosting.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Now, while this gives you the speed boost you can see in clips online, it doesn\u2019t look like this will get you much farther than simply using the Aerial Roll and staying in Focus Mode. So while you might get where you\u2019re going a little quicker and look like Neo in The Matrix while doing it, poor Kliff is stubbornly sticking to his own rules regardless.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Still, it\u2019s fun to see the community wonder whether Pearl Abyss will patch this out or simply make it yet another feature of Crimson Desert gameplay by adding, say, an actual proper animation for it. The developer has released patches in quickfire fashion since the game\u2019s launch, and tackled so-called glitches like this (stab flight!) promptly, so perhaps we\u2019ll find out soon.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a mechanic or a bug glitch lol?&#8221; one player wondered. &#8220;Pearl Abyss devs still deciding which one to designate it,&#8221; replied another. &#8220;It&#8217;s definitely a bug, it bypasses the whole using A to go faster while gliding, also the animation of Kliff during it is kinda jank and if you land it sends you flying a bit,&#8221; another suggested. &#8220;Abuse while you can cause it&#8217;s gunna get patched. That being said, it&#8217;s extremely fun to do!&#8221; &#8220;We have to wait for Pearl Abyss to either patch out or improve the animation, then we\u2019ll know for sure,&#8221; another concluded.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019ve got plenty more on Crimson Desert, including a story on <u>how the NPCs are the stars of the show<\/u>, a hidden food consequence system that a modder has restored, and cats. <u>Yes, cats<\/u>.
