The Precipice of Truth is one of Crimson Desert’s many Abyss puzzles. Find out how to reach this section of the Abyss and how to solve the puzzle within to claim an Abyss Artifact in this guide.
How to reach the Precipice of Truth
This puzzle is part of a chain of Abyss puzzles that started with the Spire of Insight, and continued through Chaos Forest.
To reach the Precipice of Truth, we’ll need to complete the Abyss Puzzle just before it, the Roots of Truth. This will grant us access to the Skybridge that leads here.
This Skybridge only consists of moving platforms, so nothing too tricky or challenging. You can Glide or use Precise Jump to make it easier and quicker.
Once we take the Teleporter at the end, we’re transported to the Precipice of Truth.
How to solve the Precipice of Truth Puzzle
We’re dropped in on top of teh Abyss Nexus, so no need to worry about that at least. We’ll want to head forward up the path.
As we round the first corner here, there’s a turret blocking our way. Use Axiom Force on it, and it will collapse into a Power Core, which we can store in our Kuku Pot.
If you don’t have the Kuku Pot, we recommend ignoring the core and running under it or climbing around.
This Puzzle can make heavy use of the Kuku Pot, unlocked in Chapter IV. It’s still possible without it, but it involves more climbing or tricky movement with the Cores and Axiom Force.
On the other side of the tunnel, we’ll find a stone cube and a trapped power source.
Power the Stone Cube with the Core we just stored in the Kuku Pot. If we went around, there’s a basic power core on the rocks just above us; we can grab it and pull it down fairly easily.
Now we’ll move the power Source over to the edge where it slots in. We’ll need to use Force Palm to lock it in place.
This activates the Air vents to our left.
Use it to glide up to the central platform for the area.
From here, we can head towards the North or East side, both having a similar puzzle to the first we need to complete. We’ll do the North side first
Glide onto the moving platform across the gap and ride it up.
Just to our left, around the corner, is a Turret we can destroy with Axiom Force, and store its Core in the Kuku Pot. Alternatively, like the previous section, there’s a second core we can grab above the puzzle here; this one will require a bit more climbing, though.
Put the core in place on the Stone Cube, and we’ve opened the second Power Source up.
Move the Power Source up so we can grab from the ledge near the socket for it.
Head up to the ledge and get it in place, and Force Palm it in. This will activate the nearby air vents and allow us to easily get back to the central platform.
From the Central Platform, we’ll now head over to the East.
We’ll want to make our way to the raised platform just in front of the puzzle area. From here, we can look over the edge and barely grab the turret core.
Store it in the Kuku Pot, turn towards the puzzle, and pull it right back out then get it in place to unlock the final power source.
Like the other section, there is another core directly above that we can climb up to if we can’t deal with the turret core.
Grab the power source and move it down and to our left, next to the platforms found there. Get it in place and give it a good Force Palming.
This activates the final button we need to press and the central air vents to help us get there.
Give it a good Force Palming, then climb up to claim the Abyss Artifact.
