<\/section>\n

As players get further into the sprawling Crimson Desert<\/a>, they\u2019re finding new ways to play around in its gargantuan open world and with the many, many mechanics and systems. One way in which fans have found fun is to play Crimson Desert like it\u2019s a cat sim, with some even honoring the memory of their IRL cats who passed away.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re keeping tabs on Crimson Desert, you\u2019ve probably seen the viral screenshots of cats dressed up in armor, or players surrounded by cats. It’s adorable.<\/p>\n

One player, ButeosDolichovespula, took this to the next level by gathering an army of cats \u2014 30 strong! \u2014 while adventuring in Pywell.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

For the uninitiated, building a cat army like this requires a lot of work. Crimson Desert has an animal taming system in which you feed animals or pet them to increase their trust in you (check out our Crimson Desert how to get pets guide<\/a> for more). Get a cat to 100 points of friendship and you\u2019ll have the option to \u201ctake in.\u201d This sounds straightforward, but for cats it is not (they\u2019re cats, of course building trust is hard!). Players are still working out the most efficient way of getting to that magic 100 number, using a combination of different types of food (fish, mostly) and returning each in-game day to repeatedly pet them. So, with this in mind, ButeosDolichovespula\u2019s cat army is seriously impressive. How did they do it? \u201cPatience and a lot of cooked bird meat,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

\u201cI just made the standard cooked bird meat with no fancy \u2018filling\u2019 \u2018satisfying\u2019 or anything like that,\u201d ButeosDolichovespula continued. \u201cIt will give them 20+ trust and you can feed them three times a day.<\/p>\n

\u201cCats are skittish! It helps if you sneak up to them and drop the meat then stand still and wait for them to take it. Or pick them up, and drop the food while you pet them\/before you put them down.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso almost none of the cats in the cat village will take food from you. I like to think this is because they are already well taken care of \ud83d\ude1b I haven\u2019t had any issues anywhere else though.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the reason I keep playing. I’m tryna turn Crimson Desert into Crimson Mewgenics,\u201d said one player.<\/p>\n

But where did ButeosDolichovespula find all those cats? It turns out Crimson Desert has a secret cat village called Pororin, which is packed with almost all the types of cats available in the game. And they come in all shapes and sizes, too, from slim to fat.<\/p>\n

Now, some Crimson Desert players are using the game to honor their pets who died in real life. \u201cWe had a Calico pass away a few years ago so now I know who my companion will be!\u201d said Icedtc. \u201cI am honoring my fat tuxedo with this as well,\u201d added infinitezero8. \u201cWhen I got to the village was so happy to see a chonker who looked exactly like my Mr. Kitty. I love walking the towns\/village with him on my shoulder.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just cats, either. Some dog lovers are getting in on the act. \u201cThis is the way, my in-game dog is an exact replica of my dog and it makes the game 10x more enjoyable lmao,\u201d said the appropriately named WorldlyDog777. \u201cI feel like my dog is a part of the story with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have two schnauzers but I don’t think they are in the game. Besides, it’s time to honor our cat Pumpkin!\u201d said Icedtc.<\/p>\n

People have been recreating their pets in video games for years. Developers do it too, immortalising their pets in the games they make. But it\u2019s always wholesome to see, and further evidence that Crimson Desert players are finding their own fun in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all fun and games when it comes to Crimson Desert\u2019s animals, however. One player shocked the community when they discovered you can actually drown some of them<\/a>, if you hold them under water for long enough.<\/p>\n
