Patch 1.13.00 for Crimson Desert arrived on July 4, 2026, rolling out simultaneously on Steam for both PC and Mac.

What changed

The headline addition is Abyss access for Oongka and Damiane. As a consequence, the locations of Memory Fragments tied to certain rematchable bosses have been repositioned — the patch notes list the affected encounters behind a spoiler dropdown:

  • Corrupted Caliburn
  • Goyend
  • Draven, the Crowcaller
  • Clockwork White Horn

On the equipment side, the patch is substantial:

  • 39 new equipment pieces added for the main roster, including five boss outfit sets (Tarandus the Ashen, Unyielding Hero, Knight of Carnage, Martial Monk, and grand general of Demeniss), plus 16 armor and 3 headgear pieces
  • 8 additional armor pieces obtainable through quests, achievements, shops, and other sources
  • Oongka can now wear most outfits available to Kliff
  • Damiane gains access to three boss equipment sets (guardian of Odeck, Dark Marksman, and Masked Liberator)
  • Both characters can equip the full range of Kuku elemental and utility gear

Smaller but notable additions include a new Hunter's Sigil item that lets bird pets retrieve prey and gatherable items, summoned pets now resting alongside the character in bed, and a new option under Settings to hide the minimap and status HUD.

For players who main Oongka or Damiane, the combination of Abyss access and expanded outfit options represents the most direct expansion of those characters' roles since launch.
