Gaining the ability to fly across the map in Crimson Desert can be a true game-changer, but you’ll first need to obtain a specific skill. Like everything else in the game, you can earn this skill by grinding through the quests.
During the initial couple of hours, there won’t be much need for you to fly. The need arises once you start to explore the more advanced areas of Pywel. Let’s look at how you can gain flight in Crimson Desert.

How to unlock flying in Crimson Desert
To fly in Crimson Desert, you’ll need to get hold of crow wings, which won’t be available for a while if you’re early in the game.
Keep clearing content until you come across the Woman in White main quest. This quest, available in the Hernand region, will have several puzzles to solve. Once cleared, the game will then lead you to an NPC named White Crow the Witch.
Speak with her and wait for the dialogue to finish. She will gift you a pair of crow wings. This will also unlock the Flight skill on the red skill tree. Like all other skills, you can enhance your flying ability using Abyss Artifacts. Now, you have everything you need to fly in the world of Crimson Desert.
How to use your Flight skill in Crimson Desert
You’ll need to reach a high place to take flight. This can be the top of a landscape, the highest platform on a building, and so on. Jump, and as you fall, press the Square Button/X button on your PlayStation/Xbox controller. This will activate the flying skill, and you’ll start to use your wings to glide.
When in flight, use the left stick to control your character. You can press the same Square/X button to deactivate flying. Make sure you don’t do this when you’re still high up in the air (unless you’re ready to bear the consequences!).
