The Crow Wings ability provides aerial traversal in Crimson Desert. Granted by the White Crow Witch after Kliff visits the Library of Providence, this ability transforms his cloak into large, tattered raven wings for controlled descent from heights.
Basic Gliding
Crow Wings activates by jumping from height. The protagonist's cloak transforms into what looks like large, tattered raven wings, allowing him to slowly glide to the ground.
The ability offers an exhilarating and efficient way to navigate the vast map, covering large distances from elevated starting points.
Combat Applications
Gliding is crucial in certain boss fights. During the Queen Stoneback Crab battle, the creature bucks and rears to fling players into the sky - which can easily lead to death from falling if you forget the button to start gliding back down.
The Axiom Force maneuver while gliding allows Kliff to crash into the ground in a damaging shockwave, creating offensive opportunities from aerial approaches.
Grappling Hook Synergy
The grappling hook doesn't immediately snap to locations. Instead, it slingshots players into the air, from which they can transition to gliding and dashing through the skies.
Kliff can launch himself in a straight line toward rooftops, treetops, or other elevated points, then use them as launch platforms for extended glides. Combining the grappling hook with gliding makes traversal very quick.
Origin
The White Crow Witch, who serves as a bridge between Providence and the rest of the world, grants Kliff the Crow Wings ability. This happens after his visit to the Library of Providence through the Abyss.
With this power, Kliff can leap off the Library's floating Abyss Island and glide back to Pywel below.
