11Overview22Hidden Ace is a main quest in Crimson Desert and the fourth mission of Chapter 10: Counterattack, falling under the Secret Weapon sub-chapter. Kliff boards the ATAG (All-Terrain Armored Gear) for the first time and completes a series of training exercises in a controlled testing ground adjacent to the Gorthak Ironworks. This quest is the ATAG tutorial, teaching players the mech's controls and combat capabilities.44Quest Details66DetailInfoChapterChapter 10: CounterattackSub-ChapterSecret WeaponRegionDelesyiaLocationGorthak Ironworks testing groundQuest TypeTutorial / Mech CombatPrerequisiteMaster of the IronworksRewardsATAG mount unlocked for future missions99Objectives1010Board the ATAG at the testing groundComplete movement training (walk, sprint, turn)Complete weapons training (machine gun, cannon, EMP, ram)Destroy all target dummies in the timed exerciseExit the ATAG and report to the Master Forgekeeper11+Boar d the ATAG at the testing groundComplete movement training (walk, sprint, turn)Complete weapons training (machine gun, cannon, EMP, ram)Destroy all target dummies in the timed exerciseExit the ATAG and report to the Master Forgekeeper1212ATAG Controls1414ActionControlDescriptionMachine GunR1 / Right TriggerRapid-fire weapon for groups of light enemiesCannonR2 / Left TriggerWide-area blast for clustered targets; slow reloadEMP DischargeL1 / Left BumperDisables mechanical enemies and stuns organics brieflyRamTriangle / YCharges forward and flattens anything in the path15+ActionControlDescriptionMachine GunR1 / Right TriggerRapid-fire weapon for groups of light enemiesCannonR2 / Left TriggerWide-area blast for clustered targets; slow reloadEMP Dis chargeL1 / Left BumperDisables mechanical enemies and stuns organics brieflyRamTriangle / YCharges forward and flattens anything in the path1616Walkthrough1717The tutorial is straightforward. Each weapon system has its own training segment with on-screen prompts. The timed exercise at the end requires destroying all target dummies within 90 seconds using a combination of all four weapon types. The machine gun handles distant targets, the cannon clears groups, the EMP disables shielded dummies, and the ram crushes the final row.1919Tips2121The cannon has a wide blast radius but a long reload time. Use it on clustered groups, then switch to the machine gun for stragglers.The EMP is essential against shielded targets. Without it, shielded dummies take almost no damage from other weapons.The ram deals the highest single-hit damage. Line up multiple targets in a row before charging for maximum efficiency.The ATAG becomes your primary offensive mount for the rest of Chapter 10 and is usable in select encounters afterward.2323Related Quests2525Master of the IronworksClockwork Insect Clash
