Revision - lion - Crimson Desert Wiki

Overview

Lion

The Lion is a temporary mount in Crimson Desert that can be found at The Laughing Marionette, a circus located in the Demeniss region. Unlike horses, the lion cannot be permanently tamed, registered at a stable, or summoned on demand. It functions as a rideable animal for as long as you remain mounted, but it becomes unavailable once you dismount.

At Level 1, the Lion has the following base stats:

Stat	Value
Health	450

Location

The Lion spawns at The Laughing Marionette in Demeniss, positioned between the "M" and the second "E" of "Demeniss" on the map, just outside the City of Demeniss. You will find the lion sitting near circus tents where NPCs are petting it.

How to Mount

Simply approach the seated lion and press Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) when the Ride prompt appears. There is no combat, no taming minigame, and no legal consequence for taking it. You ride away freely.

Mask restriction: Make sure you are not wearing a Mask when approaching. If you have a mask equipped, the option to ride will not appear.

Riding Characteristics

Speed: The lion is extremely fast, one of the quickest temporary mounts available.
Stamina: Low stamina pool (100) limits sustained running despite the high top speed.
Combat: The lion cannot attack enemies on its own. You can use your own weapons from its back.

Limitations

Not permanent: Cannot be stored at stables or registered as a mount.
Respawn timer: After leaving or losing the lion, you must wait several in-game weeks for another to appear at the circus.
Hostile guards: Guards in the Demeniss area are hostile until after Chapter 8 of the main quest. Consider visiting later in your playthrough.
Wild lions are different: Wild lions in the Crimson Desert region are hostile and extremely rare. The circus lion at The Laughing Marionette is the most reliable source.
