Crimson Desert<\/a> developer Pearl Abyss just released a patch<\/a> that makes a number of significant improvements, but one that players are already praising lowers the difficulty of one of the hardest activities in the game: the archery minigame.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve played Crimson Desert for a few hours you\u2019ll probably have encountered this minigame, which challenges you to an archery contest against an NPC. The idea here is to be the first to score 10 hits, with targets popping up one after another.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting the control scheme for firing an arrow, which involves holding a button to aim then releasing the button to fire. It is NOT a quick process \u2014 certainly not quick enough for what\u2019s to come. The further into the contest you get (it costs you coin to participate), the harder your opponent. Later opponents start doing their best Robin Hood impression, seemingly predicting where the target will pop up and landing a hit in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n

Players had called this minigame impossible before today\u2019s patch (we here at IGN even had some useful tips for it<\/a>), with some suspecting it was so hard it was bugged.<\/p>\n

\n

If this archery part doesn’t get nerfed in a future patch, I’D BE SURPRISED!<\/p>\n

I’m a keyboard and mouse guy for shooting games but I’m using 🎮 and with no friction on target, I KNOW folk are going to RAGE at this part. 😭😭😭<\/p>\n

Crimson Desert devs really said ffffffffk YOUUUUU 😭 pic.twitter.com\/iWoifEzgEd<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Gaming Since NES (@GamingSinceNES) March 22, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cFair warning, archery competition is literally impossible to win,\u201d said one disgruntled player<\/a>. \u201cWhen the target shows up you have, and I\u2019m not exaggerating one bit, about 250 milliseconds to register that the target is there, aim then hold the button to fire (for some reason????). The NPC f***ing predicts where the target is gonna be and almost pre-fires before the target even shows up.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty sure it\u2019s a bug, so if you see the archery competition then better save your coins and ignore it until they fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hilarious, I\u2019m not even kidding, the AI shot the arrow before the target started lifting and hit it before it went all the way up lmao,\u201d said another. \u201cI swear AI was letting arrows loose before the target was up several times, instant shots,\u201d another said. \u201cS**t like this fucking ruins games. How the f**k did this get past testing?\u201d said another player.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the archery contest is easier, thanks to the update. And that has sparked something of a flex within the community, with those who managed \u2014 somehow \u2014 to beat it crowing that they did so pre-patch. \u201cI just want it to be known that I did this before the patch,\u201d said the appropriately named FreddyLeeSavage.<\/p>\n

\nI just want it to be known that I did this before the patch<\/a>
by
\nu\/FreddyLeeSavage<\/a> in
\nCrimsonDesert<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

But how did they manage such a feat? \u201cYeah there were even times where I shot my arrow first I know I did and they still gave the CPU the point,\u201d FreddyLeeSavage explained. \u201cThis particular one I did get pretty lucky tho just locked in and was close to the spot where the target popped up most of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is John Crimson Desert himself,\u201d one fan said. \u201cI beat Radahn before the patch so we are basically the same,\u201d another fan quipped. \u201cI honestly don\u2019t know why it was nerfed, very winnable competition just not a complete walk in the park,\u201d a player, perhaps Robin Hood himself, commented.<\/p>\n

Making the archery contest easier isn\u2019t the only meaningful change hitting Crimson Desert today alongside the patch. Pearl Abyss has also adjusted some gamepad and keyboard\/mouse controls, increased health restored from food and items, and, crucially, added new item storage in the Howling Hill Camp.<\/p>\n
