Crimson Desert: Precipice of Truth Puzzle Guide

One of the most difficult puzzles in the Abyss area of Crimson Desert is the Precipice of Truth, an area in the sky that has enemies shooting lasers at you, making it difficult to focus. However, those enemies are actually essential in completing the puzzle here, a fact that took me many hours to figure out.

Completing the Precipice of Truth puzzle will reward you with an Abyss Artifact, similar to all other puzzles in the Abyss. Completing this puzzle also makes it possible to go further into the Abyss, leading to more exploration and more rewards.

If you are struggling with the Precipice of Truth in the Abyss, this guide is for you. Read further for a complete walkthrough on how to complete the Precipice of Truth in Crimson Desert.

How to Complete the Precipice of Truth in Crimson Desert

When you first arrive at the Precipice of Truth, you'll encounter a stone-like structure that opens up and reveals an Abyss enemy that shoots out a laser. Make sure to kill this enemy with the Force Palm ability to have it drop a Power Core.

Next, use your Axiom Force ability to grab the Power Core and make your way through the cave to the other side, where you will find a slot that you can place the Power Core in. Placing the Power Core in the slot will allow you to grab the battery inside the wall.

Grab the battery with Axiom Force and bring it over to the platform near the Abyss Nexus fast-travel point. On the right side, you will find a slot for the battery, so place the battery down and use Force Palm to punch it into place. This will cause the wind current to rise from the platform directly infront of you.

Next, jump over to the platform that has the wind current flowing out of it to reach the higher level, where you will find another Abyss enemy shooting lasers at you. Jump and glide over to the enemy to use Force Palm on it to kill it, having it drop another Power Core.

Grab the Power Core the enemy dropped by using Axiom Force and jump up a couple more platforms to find a slot where you can insert it. Placing the Power Core here will allow you to grab the battery cell inside the wall.

After grabbing the battery cell with Axiom Force, start progressing across the platforms to your left. Since it's difficult to jump while using Axiom Force, you may need to push the battery cell across the platforms, let go of it, and then grab it again when you reach the other side.

As you navigate across the floating platforms, you will find the slot where the battery is supposed to go on the right-hand side of the area. Place the battery up against this slot and then use Force Palm to punch it into place.

After placing the battery in its slot, a wind current will activate from the propellers nearby. Jump into the wind current and activate glide to fly to the other side of the area.

Next, go upward and then take a left to find another Abyss enemy. Just like before, attack it with your Force Palm ability to officially kill it and to have it drop another Power Core.

Grab the Power Core with Axiom Force and then backtrack a bit to find the slot where the Power Core can be inserted into. Just like before, placing the Power Core in the slot will allow you to grab the battery cell within the wall.

Use Axiom Force to grab the last battery and then make your way upward to find the slot that requires it. Place the battery in front of the slot, and punch it into place with Force Palm to activate the nearby wind current.

Next, ride the wind current that you just activated to reach the center cog of the Precipice of Truth. Climb the cog to reach its center and use Force Palm to punch it in, officially solving the Precipice of Truth puzzle in Crimson Desert.

After activating the cog of the Precipice of Truth, the nexus will have officially been restored and you can claim the Abyss Artifact. The Abyss Artifact can be found right above the cog.
