11Overview22Nature's Grasp is a utility skill in Crimson Desert, available to Kliff and Damiane. It belongs to the Spirit (Green) branch of the skill tree. Nature's Grasp allows the character to lift or move heavy objects in the environment, making it essential for solving Abyss puzzles and clearing blocked paths throughout the world of Pywel.44Skill Details77DetailInfoCharactersKliff, DamianeSkill TreeSpirit (Green)CategoryUtilityStamina Cost40 StaminaHow to UnlockAuto-unlockInputTriangle + Circle on a targetHow to Unlock (Kliff)Chapter 2 quest 'Unexpected Gift': observe the small NPC demonstrate the skill at the Abyss Cresset in Meandering HillsHow to Unlock (Damiane)Unlocked by default99How Nature's Grasp Works1010When standing near a movable object (highlighted with an interaction prompt), pressing Triangle + Circle causes the character to grab and lift it using a nature-based energy. The player can then reposition the object, carry it to a new location, or throw it. The skill targets large rocks, crates, pillars, and other environmental objects that block paths or are needed for puzzle solutions.1212Nature's Grasp costs 40 Stamina per use, which is a significant portion of the Stamina bar at low levels. Players who plan to use it frequently for exploration should invest in Stamina upgrades to ensure they can still dodge and sprint after using the skill.1414Exploration and Puzzle Uses1616Nature's Grasp is required for many Abyss puzzles, where heavy objects need to be placed on pressure plates, stacked to create platforms, or moved to unblock doorways. It is also used in several overworld puzzles, such as:1818Clearing boulder blockages in caves and mountain passesMoving objects onto pressure plates to activate bridges and doors in Abyss areasStacking crates to reach elevated platforms during explorationRemoving debris blocking treasure chests and hidden areas2020Combat Applications2222While primarily an exploration tool, Nature's Grasp has limited combat utility. Objects lifted with Nature's Grasp can be thrown at enemies for improvised damage. The thrown object deals physical damage based on its size and can stagger smaller enemies. However, this is rarely more efficient than dedicated combat skills, so Nature's Grasp is best reserved for puzzle-solving and exploration outside of fights.2424Related Nature Skills2626Nature's Grasp sits within a family of nature-themed Spirit abilities.

Drop objects gently rather than throwing them to avoid knocking them off ledges.3333See Also3535SkillsKliff SkillsDamiane SkillsAbyssExploration3737Open-World Pillar Slam3939The pillar-smash tactic that trivialises the Chapter 6 knight and the Ludvig encounter in Chapter 7 is not limited to those scripted arenas. Nature's Grasp can pick up most long, heavy environmental objects such as fallen trees, shattered columns, dockside debris, and collapsed beams, and the character can then slam the held object downward onto a staggered enemy for a large chunk of hard crowd control plus direct damage. The slam counts as a hard stagger, so it interrupts attack animations and opens a clean DPS window against mini-bosses and tougher open-world enemies where a single unblocked combo from the player would otherwise be too risky.4141The trick to making this work anywhere in the world is that trees become slammable once they are lying flat. Standing trees cannot be lifted, but a single Force Palm against a trunk in most groves will knock the tree over, after which Nature's Grasp will grab it like any other pillar. The resulting improvised pillar slam works against open-world enemy groups, named mini-bosses, and even some roaming bosses. Coastal debris and wagons work the same way without needing the force palm step, so docks, caravan wrecks, and collapsed structures around liberation points are all valid pillar sources. Keep an eye out for anything cylindrical and long when you enter a new encounter; if you can grab it, you can almost always slam it.
