Revision 1

Golden Star is the name of a massive mechanical dragon that serves as one of Crimson Desert's most spectacular boss encounters. Created as a 'weapon,' this steampunk construct terrorizes the skies of Pywel.

Origins

Golden Star was created by the scientific genius Marni. The dragon houses a power core essential for defeating H.A.L.L., Marni's evil AI clone that has taken command of a flying fortress threatening Pywel.

Kliff must hunt for Golden Star's core to cripple the massive flying fortress, leading to a multi-phase aerial boss battle.

Boss Fight

The Golden Star boss fight is a multi-phase encounter featuring firestorms and cinematic aerial duels. The dragon's flaming breath activates an array of pylons around the battle arena, which dispense EMP bombs that players can fire from an arm-mounted cannon.

This creates a repeating phase loop: Golden Star circles above, belching flames that produce the EMP bombs that eventually bring it crashing to the ground. Players can then unleash a barrage of strikes until it reboots and begins the cycle anew.

The fight escalates as Golden Star summons fire tornadoes and launches missiles. After the first phase, it retreats with Kliff hanging on for dear life while his own dragon mount pursues, attacking from afar.

Collector's Edition

The $280 Collector's Edition includes a 17-inch diorama depicting Kliff battling the Golden Star mechanical dragon, highlighting the encounter's significance to the game's marketing.
