Overview

Restrain (Spirit) is a defensive grappling technique exclusive to Oongka in Crimson Desert. Just before being hit by an enemy attack, Oongka can execute a counter-grapple to interrupt the incoming attack and seize the enemy. This functions differently from the standard Restrain skill, which is triggered after specific attacks. Restrain (Spirit) is a reactive defensive move that requires precise timing.

Restrain (Spirit) is automatically unlocked for Oongka. It is available from the start of Oongka's playthrough as part of his innate defensive toolkit.
Combat Tips
The timing window is similar to a Parry or Counter, requiring you to input just before an enemy attack connects.
After the counter-grapple, follow up with Lariat or Giant Swing for devastating combos.
Restrain (Spirit) is particularly effective in Oongka's grappling-focused playstyle, providing a defensive option that transitions into offense.
Pairs well with Quick Grab, another Oongka-exclusive counter-grapple.
