Major update with voice actor, detailed weapon loadout, crossbow, and combat style specifics
Oongka is one of three playable characters in Crimson Desert and one of Kliff's core Greymane companions. Known for fierce combat skills and unwavering loyalty, Oongka is the group's powerhouse. He is unlocked through the main campaign and can be freely switched to for open-world exploration and combat, though only Kliff can advance the main story.
Oongka is voiced by Stewart Scudamore, known for Blackthorne in Final Fantasy XVI, Calgar in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and Klaus in Lies of P: Overture.
Oongka favors raw power over finesse. His attacks are slower than Kliff's and Damiane's, but they deal significantly more damage and affect wider areas. He excels at crowd control, using sweeping strikes and ground slams to scatter groups of enemies. His playstyle is suited for players who prefer straightforward, high-damage combat without complex combo timing.
Weapon | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Greataxe | Primary Melee | A massive two-handed axe for devastating ground slams, spinning attacks, and wide sweeps. The signature weapon for area-of-effect damage. |
Large Hammer | Secondary Melee | A heavy blunt weapon that sends multiple foes flying on impact. Particularly effective at knocking enemies into each other. |
Pickaxe | Melee/Utility | Used for combat and mining. Functional as both a weapon and a gathering tool. |
Wrist-Mounted Crossbow | Ranged | A mechanical crossbow mounted on Oongka's forearm. Fires incendiary bolts that deal fire damage on impact. |
Unlike Kliff's Crow's Wing and Damiane's propeller, Oongka has no special flight or gliding ability. He is a grounded character whose traversal relies on standard movement, climbing, and mounts. This keeps him firmly rooted as a ground-based powerhouse, consistent with his heavy build and combat philosophy.
Ground Slam: A devastating overhead axe strike that creates shockwaves damaging nearby enemies.
Spinning Attack: A 360-degree axe sweep that hits all surrounding enemies. Effective crowd control in tight spaces.
Body Slam: Oongka throws his full weight into enemies, staggering or knocking down targets.
Leap Slam: A jumping attack that covers distance and lands with area-of-effect damage.
Incendiary Volley: Fires multiple incendiary crossbow bolts, setting groups of enemies on fire.
Oongka is one of the founding members of the Greymanes and Kliff's most trusted ally in combat. His loyalty to Kliff and the band is absolute. When the Black Bear Forces scattered the Greymanes, Oongka was among the survivors that Kliff seeks to reunite during the campaign. His recruitment chapter showcases his combat prowess and establishes his role as the group's front-line fighter.
For players looking to optimize Oongka's devastating power, see the Build Guide: Oongka article, which covers recommended equipment, skill focus areas, and crowd control strategies.
