Overview
The Silver Wolf Axe is the strongest one-handed axe in Crimson Desert, with 18 attack power, Critical Rate Lv. 1, and Attack Speed Lv. 1. It is the starting weapon for Oongka when he becomes playable after the Chapter VII encounter with Lava Myurdin at Silverwolf Mountain. The axe cannot be sold, purchased, or crafted. It is exclusively tied to Oongka's character progression.
Oongka is a half-orc powerhouse who is a core member of the Greymane Mercenaries. His combat style revolves around overwhelming force, and the Silver Wolf Axe reflects that identity. Despite being categorized as a one-handed weapon, Oongka wields it with the kind of ferocity normally reserved for two-handed armaments. The "Silver Wolf" name may reference the Greymane faction's wolf motif.

At 18 base attack, the Silver Wolf Axe has the highest attack power of any one-handed weapon in the game. It also has both a critical rate and attack speed bonus, a combination that no other one-handed weapon offers. These dual bonuses make it an efficient damage dealer across all types of encounters.
How to Obtain
The Silver Wolf Axe is automatically added to your inventory when Oongka becomes a playable character. This happens during the main story after the Chapter VII boss fight against Lava Myurdin at Silverwolf Mountain. When Kliff needs time to recover from his injuries sustained in that battle, players switch to controlling Oongka for a section of the game.
Oongka's starting loadout includes:

Because the Silver Wolf Axe cannot be sold, it remains a permanent part of Oongka's arsenal. There is no way to lose it.
Oongka's Combat Style
Oongka's moveset takes full advantage of the Silver Wolf Axe's stats. His one-handed attacks are fast for a character his size, and his Dual Wielding Mastery passive allows him to wield two-handed weapons in one hand, boosting Rampage and Spinning Slash damage. Key combat moves include:
Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
Grappling techniques | : Throw, Restrain, and Lariat let Oongka grab enemies and control the fight at close range |
Power moves | : Body Slam, Clothesline, Dropkick, Pump Kick, and Quaking Fury provide gap-closing and crowd control |
: Allows wielding two-handed weapons single-handedly, unlocking unique combo strings |
Keep in mind that Oongka's attacks consume stamina quickly. Managing your stamina between offensive bursts is the biggest challenge when playing as this character.
