How to Unlock All Elemental Skills (Frost, Flame, Wind, Lightning)

Unlock Frost Mantle, Flame Strike, Storm Veil, and Lightning Surge by solving Abyss puzzles in Crimson Desert. Learn how to restore Abysses.

In Crimson Desert, you can unlock four Elemental Skills in the red skill tree: Frost Mantle, Flame Strike, Storm Veil, and Lightning Surge. After unlocking these, you can also upgrade the “Imbue Element” skill to buff other attacks. The game indicates that learning the elements is a prerequisite for these skills but does not explain how to obtain them.

All Elemental Skills are unlocked by restoring Abysses, which are flying sky islands. Each Abyss contains a puzzle that must be solved to restore its power.

To access the Abysses, you must first solve the Spires, which serve as their entry points. This requires significant prior effort.

The four specific Abysses that unlock Elemental Skills are:

  • Frost = Path of Trials
  • Flame = Tree of Slumber
  • Wind = Riddle Square
  • Lightning = Courtyard of Precision
