The Cloudcruiser is a Flying type mount in Crimson Desert. Unlike the Kuku Bird Hatchling and Leaping Kuku Bird, which only glide downward from elevated positions, the Cloudcruiser provides true aerial flight, allowing riders to gain altitude, hover, and travel through the sky with full directional control. This makes it one of the most valuable mounts in the game for long-distance travel and aerial exploration.
The Cloudcruiser shares the flying mount category with the Skystreaker and the Blackstar Dragon. While the Blackstar Dragon focuses on combat with its high Health and Attack stats, the Cloudcruiser and Skystreaker are more lightweight aerial mounts designed primarily for traversal and exploration from above.
The Cloudcruiser has a minimal stat profile compared to ground mounts, reflecting its specialization as a pure transportation vehicle:
With only 300 Health and no listed Stamina, Attack, or Defense stats, the Cloudcruiser is clearly not designed for combat. Its purpose is straightforward: fly you from point A to point B as efficiently as possible. The lack of Stamina listing may indicate that the Cloudcruiser uses a different resource system (such as fuel or a timer) rather than traditional mount stamina.
The exact acquisition method for the Cloudcruiser is still being documented by the community. Based on its stats and classification, it may be available through specific quest completions, NPC vendors, or crafting. Unlike temporary wildlife mounts that are found in the open world, the Cloudcruiser appears to be a manufactured or summoned flying device rather than a living creature.
The Cloudcruiser may be related to the Cloudcart (hot air balloon vehicle) as another aerial transportation option in Crimson Desert's growing roster of non-traditional mounts. Its name suggests a cloud-themed design, possibly involving magical or technological flight mechanisms.
As a true flying mount, the Cloudcruiser offers capabilities that ground mounts and gliding mounts cannot match:
Altitude gain: Unlike the Kuku Birds that can only descend, the Cloudcruiser can ascend, allowing you to gain altitude and fly over obstacles, mountains, and hostile territories.
Hovering: The Cloudcruiser can maintain a stable altitude, letting you survey the landscape below without descending.
Full directional control: You have complete control over direction, pitch, and altitude during flight, similar to the flight controls used by the Blackstar Dragon.
Aerial perspective: Flying at high altitude provides an unmatched view of Pywel's landscape, making it easy to spot points of interest, enemy camps, resource nodes, and quest objectives from above.
Icon | Feature | Cloudcruiser | Blackstar Dragon | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Health | 300 | 300 | 2,500 |
| Attack | N/A | N/A | 50 |
| N/A | N/A | 1,000 | |
Primary Role | Aerial traversal | Aerial traversal | Combat + traversal | |
Timer-based | TBD | TBD | Yes (15 min use / 50 min cooldown) |
Use the Cloudcruiser for long-distance travel between regions. Flying in a straight line over mountains and rivers is significantly faster than navigating ground-level terrain on horseback.
The Cloudcruiser's low Health of 300 makes it vulnerable to ranged attacks from the ground. Fly at high altitude over hostile areas to avoid being shot down.
Use the aerial vantage point to scout areas before committing to ground-level exploration. You can identify enemy patrol patterns, treasure locations, and safe routes from above.
If the Cloudcruiser operates on a timer like the Blackstar Dragon, plan your flights efficiently. Use it for covering large distances rather than short hops where a horse would suffice.
The Cloudcruiser and Skystreaker appear to fill the same niche. If you have access to both, experiment to see if one handles better for your preferred flight style.
