How to complete the Precipice of Truth puzzle in Crimson Desert?
We therefore have two islands of the Abyss of Crimson Desert allow us to reach the Precipice of Truth. First, the Root Boundary Heaven Gate. From the end of the level, at the top of the island, go down below to reach the door. Then activate the mechanism with the axiomatic force.
Cross the platform path that appears next, ending with the moving platform and a glide to a teleporter. You are at the start of the “Precipice of Truth” zone.
The other path therefore starts from the Gate of Heaven of the Root of Truth. As very often, you just have to pass behind the end pillar to come across the door and its mechanism to activate with your axiomatic arm.
Follow the path freshly made by the floating or moving platforms, and don’t hesitate to go faster by flying towards the roots surrounding the following large platforms. At the end of the path and after crossing the intersecting platforms, you arrive at the teleporter which will take you to the entrance to the Precipice of Truth area.
Now, move forward by jumping and/or gliding to reach the area opposite. After a few more steps, a pillar will open with a ball in its center. This ball will target you and fire a laser if you get too close and stay out of sight. So hide behind some stone blocks on the right and aim at the ball with your axiomatic force.
The pillar will then be destroyed, leaving behind a cube to seal with Triangle/Y when you have grabbed it with your axiomatic force. Then advance to the Abyssal Nexus slab to begin the puzzle.
Notice the bar-shaped battery in front of you on the left. Grab it and remove it by moving the right stick up. Then take this battery to the right, behind you, on the square lantern. This will have the effect of making the energy barrier disappear, behind which another battery was locked.
Grab the battery and stick it to one of the two empty slots in front of the Abyssal Nexus tile. Then take the battery that powered the square lantern and glue it to the remaining battery slot. Finally secure the two batteries using a palm strike.
This action will have the effect of activating the fan that you can see on the platform in the distance in front of you. Jump and glide to get above this fan. Use it to fly up and reach the next level.
After landing, look down to your right. A small elevator goes back and forth between two platforms. Glide and land on the bottom platform and notice the second laser ball pillar next to it. Destroy it with your axiomatic force.
Now get on the small elevator and take with you the cube left behind by the destroyed pillar. This time, don’t seal the cube and carry it with you to the next platform. At the top, get off the elevator and place the cube on the lantern next to the window containing a square battery, in order to remove the barrier.
Grab the battery in the process and push it as far as possible towards the platforms on the left and take these platforms until you reach a wall battery location.
Stick the battery to the location, stand just below it and perform a Palm Strike: Concentration (L3+R3/LS+RS then hold and release R3/RS when the leaf symbol turns gold while aiming at the battery). Otherwise, the Palm Strike: Transfer, with the axiomatic force, also works.
The power will then be restored and turn on a large fan on your left. Join it then jump ahead and glide to reach the next area and a new empty battery location. Land by going to the platform in front of the battery location.
Facing this battery location, turn your head to the left and take the small path. At the end, and in the distance, you see a third pillar with a laser ball. Approach carefully while aiming with Axiomatic Force to destroy the pillar as soon as you can target the ball and thus destroy it. Then grab the cube left by the pillar.
Return to the platform in front of the empty battery slot and bring the cube below, towards an unlit lantern, or even directly on it if you can. Then drop down next to the lantern and collect the square battery inside. Raise it as high as possible towards the upper level battery slot.
Go back to the battery location, in particular thanks to the small elevator which will come not far from you. Glue the battery to its location and secure it in the same way as the previous battery.
Now that everything is working, it’s time to look at the final mechanism. Facing the battery that you have just attached, turn around and use the fan below to be propelled to the two large fans in the center of the level.
In front of one of these fans, jump and glide to reach the final mechanism. Then climb to its center and do a palm strike while maintaining L2/LT, in order to stay attached to the mechanism. You will thus activate the final monolith, you will unlock the Palm Strike: Descent and obtain the final artifact by reaching the end of the level.
