Twisted Thicketway Puzzle Guide In Crimson Desert
You get the Twisted Thicketway Abyss challenge after completing the Ancient Sealed Gate puzzle in Crimson Desert.
Stand on the fan at the top of Sage’s Peak and activate it. Then, open your wings above it. That will take you to the Twisted Thicketway floating island in the Abyss.
There, stand on an Abyss Nexus to open a fast travel Waypoint in Crimson Desert.
Step forward, and a boss fight against an Abyss Kutum will start.
There are multiple ways to beat the Abyss Kutum in Crimson Desert. The best way to defeat it is by using your Axiom Force on its glowing red eye at the top of its body. Then, you can pull the eye out of its body to complete its stun meter. This will give you enough time to deal massive damage to the Abyss Kutum while it’s down.
Note that the Abyss Kutum doesn’t take damage from normal melee attacks, where you can keep swinging your sword, but nothing reaches it. However, if you build Kliff with Abyss Gears that shoot elemental attacks out of his swords, that can severely damage the Abyss Kutum and eventually fill its stun meter.
It’s always good to stun the Abyss Kutum, as that will give you time to deal heavy damage. Additionally, Kutum’s attacks are slow and predictable, so you won’t need that much healing when fighting it in the Twisted Thicketway.
After defeating the Abyss Kutum, you can restore the Abyss by climbing the structure in the boss fight arena.
Make sure to force palm the Abyss button, advance to claim the Abyss Artifact, and that will solve the Twisted Thicketway puzzle in Crimson Desert.
