Revision 1

Overview

Muskan is a boss encountered at a location known as The Bonepit. Standing roughly eight feet tall, Muskan is a raw powerhouse who fights with lightning-fast fists rather than traditional weapons. Despite his massive size, his punching speed is deceptively quick, making him a dangerous opponent who can overwhelm players who underestimate his reach and pace.

Boss Profile

Fight Mechanics

Muskan fights exclusively with his fists, delivering rapid punches and heavy strikes that cover a surprising amount of ground. His large frame gives him extended reach, and his attack speed contradicts expectations set by his size. Players accustomed to large, slow-moving enemies will need to adjust their timing to account for Muskan's quick strikes.

The encounter rewards players who have invested in unarmed combat techniques, as understanding grapple and throw mechanics can create openings. However, Muskan's raw power means that trading blows directly is rarely advisable.

Strategy

• Do not stand still. Muskan's fists are faster than his size suggests, and his reach extends further than it appears

• Use lateral dodges rather than backstepping, as his lunging strikes can close distance quickly

• Look for recovery windows after his heavy combination attacks to land counter-strikes

• Elemental weapon imbues can help maximize damage during the brief openings between his attack chains

Rewards

Defeating Muskan provides boss equipment tied to his brawler fighting style, consistent with the boss rewards system in Crimson Desert.
