Scaling tall cliffs and vertical surfaces quickly in Crimson Desert can be a challenge, particularly when managing stamina and time. However, with the right combination of unlocked skills, there’s a faster and more efficient way to climb walls than starting from the bottom. Here’s how to use these advanced techniques to your advantage.

The Fast Climbing Technique

If you’re facing a large cliff or steep wall, don’t default to climbing from the ground up. Instead, leverage the force palm and axiom force mechanics for a more efficient ascent:

1. Force Palm Push: The force palm skill, primarily used to push objects, can also launch your character higher into the air when timed correctly while jumping.
2. Combine with Axiom Force: The axiom force ability lets you hoist yourself toward a wall, speeding the climbing process when combined with force palm.

Here is the step-by-step breakdown:

Step-by-Step Guide to Climbing Faster

1. Unlock Necessary Skills: Ensure you’ve unlocked both the axiom force aerial maneuver (level two) and the force palm ability. Without these, the technique won’t work effectively.
2. Jump and Initiate Force Palm: Start by jumping. Then, use the force palm ability (mapped to the right thumbstick) three consecutive times. This sequence propels your character higher into the air.
3. Activate Axiom Force: While airborne, press the left thumbstick to activate axiom force and aim toward the wall.
4. Pull Toward the Wall: Once you’ve activated axiom force, hit the jump button twice to pull yourself toward the cliff surface. This should position you higher up the wall than if you started at the bottom.

Launching from Your Horse for Greater Efficiency

Another advanced method involves launching directly from your horse. By using the force palm and axiom force mechanics while mounted, you can propel yourself onto cliffs without needing to dismount first. This technique requires practice to perfect the timing, but mastering it can save significant time during gameplay.

Why This Method Works

The main advantage of this technique is stamina conservation. Standard climbing depletes stamina quickly, especially when scaling tall vertical walls. By jumping and using force palm to boost upward, you bypass the lower sections of the climb, avoiding unnecessary stamina loss. Axiom force adds further efficiency by pulling you toward the wall without forcing you to manually maneuver through every inch of the climb.

Skill Unlock Locations

Make sure these skills are part of your repertoire by visiting the appropriate skill trainers or unlocking them through the game’s progression system. Detailed explanations for unlocking and upgrading these abilities can be found in our dedicated skills guide video.

Technique	Benefit	Skill Required
Standard Climbing	Simple and straightforward	None
Force Palm with Axiom	Faster ascent, stamina-efficient	Force Palm, Axiom Force Level 2
Horse Launch	Extremely fast and efficient high ground	Force Palm, Axiom Force Level 2

Practical Tips

• Practice the Timing: The sequence of jumping, activating force palm, and using axiom force needs precise timing to maximize height.
• Use Stamina Wisely: Even with this technique, keep an eye on your stamina bar to avoid unnecessary falls.
• Launch from a Horse for Speed: Incorporating your mount while climbing is particularly useful in fast-paced scenarios requiring elevation, such as combat escapes or exploration.

Conclusion

Mastering fast climbing in Crimson Desert dramatically improves mobility and efficiency when exploring its vast landscapes. By unlocking and utilizing the force palm and axiom force skills, players can save both time and stamina while scaling even the tallest of cliffs. Whether ascending directly from the ground or launching from a mount, these techniques provide a significant advantage for gameplay. Fine-tune your timing, and you’ll be reaching new heights in no time.
