The Large Wolf is a temporary mount in Crimson Desert. This grey-furred wolf is the standard large variant found throughout the temperate forests and wilderness of Pywel. It shares identical base stats with the Large White Wolf (its snow-region counterpart) and occupies a middle ground between the small Swift Wolf and the massive Gristle Wolf.
Large Wolves are among the most commonly encountered rideable predators in the game. They are widespread enough that players will run into them naturally while exploring, making them a convenient if short-lived mount option when no horse is available nearby.
The Large Wolf's stats are identical to the Large White Wolf. This reflects a solid mid-tier predator mount:
With 250 Health and 70 Attack, the Large Wolf is capable in light combat encounters. It has enough durability to survive a few hits and enough attack power to deal meaningful damage to regular enemies. However, its 20 Defense means it takes full damage from most attacks, so extended fights will drain its health quickly.
The Large Wolf follows the standard predator mount acquisition method in Crimson Desert:
Locate a Large Wolf in the forested wilderness. They are commonly found in the temperate regions of Pywel, including areas around Hernand and the central woodlands.
Engage it in combat and deal damage until it collapses into a stunned state.
Press the mount prompt (Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox) to climb on before the wolf recovers.
Large Wolves frequently travel in packs with smaller wolves. Engaging a pack can be tricky because the smaller wolves will attack you while you focus on the large one. Try to pull the Large Wolf away from its pack, or use area-of-effect abilities to manage the smaller wolves while keeping your damage focused on your target.
The Large Wolf is a temporary mount (Fleeting Companion). This means:
It cannot be registered at any stable or recalled through the mount menu.
It cannot be equipped with any mount gear.
It does not gain experience or level up.
Once you dismount, the wolf becomes hostile immediately.
If it dies during the ride, you are thrown off and left on foot.
Large Wolves are widespread in temperate forests, making them one of the most accessible predator mounts. If you need a quick ride and no horse is nearby, look for a wolf pack.
Use moderate attacks when subduing a Large Wolf. Its 250 HP is low enough that a few heavy hits can kill it outright before you get the chance to mount.
The Large Wolf works well for short bursts of mounted combat against small enemy groups, but avoid dragging it into prolonged fights.
After dismounting, put distance between yourself and the wolf immediately. It will become hostile and attack you on sight.
