Crimson Desert - How and When To Get a Dragon Mount
Audio Summary
AI Summary
If you want to ride a dragon in Crimson Desert, you've come to the right place. The Black Star Dragon mount is unlocked as part of the main story, making it the most accessible dragon. You'll obtain it near the end of Chapter 11, after defeating the boss Golden Star.
The fight against Golden Star requires using "nature's snare" when the boss stretches its neck, to absorb and reflect its projectiles for major stun damage, which is your primary attack method. Remember to dodge its flame breath, use Axiom Force and aerial maneuver for quick attacks when it's perched, and then leap away.
After defeating Golden Star and a subsequent cutscene, you'll receive your dragon mount. Summon it by holding up on the D-pad or the H key and selecting it from the radial menu; your character will automatically grapple onto it. Once mounted, you can pilot the dragon, breathe fire, or use fireball missiles.
Crucially, monitor your dragon's health. If it's defeated, it becomes unsummonable for a long period based on real in-game time, which cannot be expedited. This can hinder progress, especially with quests immediately following the dragon's unlock that require it. This covers everything about acquiring your dragon mount in Crimson Desert.
