This week’s Crimson Desert major update, 1.07.00, offers five new Bosses for Rematch, adds new Unarmed Combat skills for Damiane, and brings the usual list of bug fixes.
Release Schedule and Patch Size
Update 1.07.00 is globally released on all platforms, except for Mac at the time of this publication. The size of the download is not enormous and clocks at around 381 MB (on Steam, PC).
You can update your game on all platforms where it is available. An exception is Mac, where the patch will be available in the App Store at a later time.
1.07.00 Highlights
This week we had not one, but two major patches with new features (depending on your region and time zone, of course. Patch 1.06.00 introduced new mounts, the ability to Extract Materials from previously upgraded weapons, and a ton of quality of life updates.
Today’s update is 1.07.00 and it is noticeably smaller in terms of offerings, but it brings key new features for players who have already spent hundreds of hours with the game and are looking to spice things up.
5 New Boss Rematches
The Boss Rematch feature was first introduced with update 1.05.00 a couple of weeks ago. Today, with 1.07.00, five additional boss encounters became available for Rematch after you have defeated them the first time.
There are no new functionalities added or any alterations, so you will still be able to choose to face the bosses as they originally appeared when you first fought them, or to have their toughness match your current level.
The next few paragraphs and images contain some spoilers for Boss Names and story events. Jump ►► to the next segment if you want to completely avoid spoilers.
You can visit the original locations to face them again, or use the Journal from the menu to open the Memories segment and use the button in the bottom right to open the map directly. Here is the list of newly added Bosses and their locations for Rematch:
- Muskan: Bonepit
- Corrupted Caliburn: Fort Musket
- Goyen: Spire of the Sun
- Draven, the Crowcaller: Church of West Demeniss
- Clockwork White Horn: Gate to Advancement
One important thing you may notice is that all bosses that you have originally fought up in the Abyss, are now available on land. This is purely a convenience feature.
The memories to spawn the bosses appear on the ground, but when you accept the challenge, you are transported to the original location where you are supposed to fight them.
After the battle, you will be teleported back to the ground where the memory fragment is. No need to manually go up to the Abyss to seek out a boss rematch.
If you see something strange on Goyen, but can’t quite grasp what it is, I highly suggest you finish all Abyss Puzzles, then go to the Axiom Library and read the newly spawned books on the third floor. This is what I consider the true Epilogue to the main story of Crimson Desert!
New Skills for Damiane and Oongka
The developers are bridging the gaps between Damiane and Oongka and Kliff with pretty much each patch released. In 1.07.00, we see a few new skills added to both optional characters that introduce combat features previously only reserved for Kliff.
