In Crimson Desert, navigating the Toward the Nest main quest presents players with intricate environmental puzzles and platforming challenges. Reaching and activating the Spire of Soaring in the northern Demeniss region is a pivotal step toward advancing through Chapter 5. Understanding the mechanics involved makes clearing this monumental tower straightforward and enjoyable.
Finding the Entrance to the Spire of Soaring
The Spire of Soaring is located in the northern territory of Demeniss, serving as a primary focal point during late Chapter 5. Upon arrival, players will notice that the front door is barred shut, requiring an alternative route to get inside. By searching the lower exterior walls, you can find protruding ledge platforms that lead toward an open circular window.
Climbing through this window brings you into the base chamber of the structure. Inside, you will discover a central wind draft system flanked by electrified wall elements. Jumping directly over the central fan and opening your glider allows the upward current to carry you safely to the higher puzzle platforms.
Solving the Energy Panel Puzzles
Once you reach the upper floors, your main objective involves restoring electrical current across interconnected wall panels. Using light reflection techniques or your lantern reveals the glowing energy pathways hidden across the walls. You can then manipulate these conduits with Axiom Force to rotate individual circuit tiles into place.
To complete the first segment, systematically align the circuit nodes from left to right until a continuous flow is established. Correctly completing the circuit activates a rising mechanical platform that moves you upward to the next level. If you fall off during movement, simply ride the central air vents back up.
Activating the Skybridge Mechanism
At the top tier of the Spire of Soaring, you will encounter the final mechanical puzzle necessary to power the Skybridge. This puzzle involves manipulating a large central disc using Axiom Force to rotate the mechanism counterclockwise. Aligning the locking pins allows the energy core to engage properly.
After aligning the disc mechanism, head through the nearby triangular gateway to interact with the control pillar. Confirming the activation deploys the Crescent Skybridge, spanning the gap toward the final battleground. Completing this puzzle prepares players to face the powerful boss waiting across the bridge.
Preparing for the Boss Encounter
Before crossing the newly opened Skybridge, taking time to organize your inventory and restock supplies is highly recommended. The impending battle against the Crow Caller requires solid defensive preparation and a steady supply of restorative items. Utilizing nearby fast travel points allows you to stock up on food or gear upgrades back in town.
Equipping reliable shield skills like shield bash helps counter the aggressive attack patterns of the upcoming boss encounter. Maintaining full health and keeping extra healing items ready ensures a smoother victory as you complete the quest section.
