Hyacinth Macaw

Hyacinth Macaw is a legendary parrot Pets tame in Crimson Desert added in Patch 1.05.00 on May 2, 2026. It spawns at Giant's Yard Outpost in the Redtree Forest near the Red River, and is tamed by feeding it Desert Melons through the Sotdae of Bond. The Hyacinth Macaw is one of two legendary bird pets shipped together in 1.05; the other is the Iron Eagle.

Quick Information

Where To Find

The Hyacinth Macaw spawns at Giant's Yard Outpost, a camp in the Redtree Forest along the Tashkalp boundary near the Red River, east of the central Crimson Desert region. Travel via the nearest fast-travel waypoint and ride east toward the cliff lines that frame the outpost. The bird perches on the cliffs and circles the outpost approach during the day, making it easier to spot than its bird-roster entry suggests.

Acquisition Walkthrough

1. Have the Sotdae of Bond in your inventory. The feeder is awarded by completing Authorized Access in the Trembling Woods faction questline given by Arkin in Pororin Village. Players who finished that quest before Patch 1.04.00 received the Sotdae automatically.

2. Stockpile 7 Desert Melons. Desert Melons are sold by Grocers and other vendors in Tomasso and the broader Crimson Desert region. Each Melon raises Trust by 15, so 7 Melons total +105 Trust, which clears the +100 threshold with a small margin.

3. Travel to Giant's Yard Outpost in the Redtree Forest, along the Tashkalp boundary near the Red River.

4. Place the Sotdae of Bond on the cliff lines beside the outpost camp. The cliff perch is the standard flight path the Macaw uses, so a flat cliff-top placement attracts the bird.

5. Load the feeder with the 7 Desert Melons.

6. Stand back and let the Macaw approach. Crouching behind cover or pulling back to a comfortable distance keeps the bird from veering off. Each successful feed raises Trust by 15.

7. After 7 feeds, Trust crosses +100. Approach and select Take In to register the Hyacinth Macaw as a pet.

Iron Eagle Ordering Issue

There is a known ordering issue between the two 1.05 legendary birds. Taming the Iron Eagle at Hawkstone Ruins before the Hyacinth Macaw can prevent the Macaw from spawning at Giant's Yard Outpost. The reverse order (Macaw first, Eagle second) has been confirmed to work without issue. Pearl Abyss acknowledged the issue but did not patch it in Patch 1.05.01, so the recommended order at the time of writing is to tame the Macaw first.

As A Pet

Once registered, the Hyacinth Macaw behaves like other registered bird pets: summon and dismiss from the pets tab, follow the player in flight, and pick up loot from the ground while flying. Its visible difference is the deep-blue plumage and the unusually large wingspan compared to the standard parrot and macaw entries in the bird pet roster. It is one of the two legendary pets in the bird category alongside the Phoenix and the Iron Eagle.

Tips

• Buy melons in bulk. Tomasso Grocers stock Desert Melons reliably; bulk-buying 10-12 melons covers a clean 7-feed run with a few in reserve in case a feed misses or the bird repositions.

• Cliff-top placement matters. The Sotdae works best on a flat cliff-top with open sky around it. Inside the outpost or under tree cover, the bird is less likely to land.

• Macaw before Eagle. Always tame the Macaw before the Iron Eagle if you want both legendary birds.

• Keep your distance. Birds in this game flee when the player is too close. Crouch behind cover or pull back to a comfortable distance once the feeder is loaded.
