Unlock the Darkstar flying dragon mount in Crimson Desert by completing Main Quest: Whispers in the Wind in Story Chapter 11.
In Crimson Desert, you can unlock a flying Dragon Mount called Darkstar. This dragon allows you to fly everywhere quickly, shoot projectiles, and breathe fire to defeat enemies. Unlocking the dragon significantly speeds up open-world exploration for collectibles and challenges, aiding in 100% completion.
To unlock the Dragon, you must beat Main Quest: Whispers in the Wind, located in Story Chapter 11. This is an automatic story unlock, requiring no side content. This quest is very late in the game, approximately 150 hours into playtime if focusing solely on the story, placing it near the game's end. The game has 12 chapters, and the dragon unlock quest is in Chapter 11.
You can call the Dragon at any time by selecting it from the character wheel (hold D-Pad Up) as your mount. The dragon flies very fast and can be used to clear enemy strongholds. It has a health bar displayed as a purple bar in the bottom left of the screen.
