Crimson Desert save file location on PC

Crimson Desert is now available on PC and console, and if you’re on the former platform, you can gain access to the save file quite easily.

Thanks to the different puzzles and quests, things can go wrong quite quickly on your save. While you can create multiple saves at different points, you can also manually create a backup. To do so, you’ll need to access the save file from where it’s stored on the PC.

How to find the Crimson Desert save file on your PC

The storage location for Crimson Desert save files will be in the root drive of your system. While you can manually change the location from Steam settings (game properties), I assume you’re yet to do that. If you’re using the default settings, here’s the path for finding all the save files.

• C:UsersAppDataLocalPearl AbyssCDsave

The path for you will be the same, with only the change being for the . This folder will be located in your root drive (which is the C drive for my PC).

Once you reach the path, you’ll find the save folder. Open it, and there will be two subfolders within. The numbered folder contains all the save files that you’ll create inside the game.

If you want to manually create a backup for whatever reason it might be, you need to remove the save file and store it in a safe place. That way, you can also use it as a restore point if you overwrite the save file in the game.

While I haven’t tested it out, you should be able to use the save file of another player. This is possible since Crimson Desert is a single-player exclusive experience. However, I have yet to test this method out as of writing. What I have tested, however, is to manually create backups of your save file and use them to restore past progression.

Crimson Desert has no shortage of activities to engage yourself in, and fishing can be one of the most lucrative ones at that. While it doesn’t take too long for you to unlock the ability to fish, this guide will still help you out with all the steps.

To fish in Crimson Desert, you’ll need a rod. You can also get better rods once you spend more hours on your adventure. But first, let’s look at the basics, which start with obtaining your first fishing rod.

How to get a fishing rod in Crimson Desert

Once you’ve cleared the first few pieces of content that basically act as an extended tutorial, you need to find a fishing village. Fishing villages are shown as boats on the map. If you’re wondering how the villages look on the map, refer to the image below. You can find several of them spread all around the map.

You’ll find a fishing vendor at a fishing village. You can obtain a fishing rod from them. Once you have your first rod, you can start to fish. Do note that not all fishing vendors might be selling the rod. If you don’t find it at one vendor, try out another, and you should come across the rod.

This is the easier part. Once you’ve found your rod, head to a water body. Make sure that your fishing rod is equipped. Next, you have to cast the line. Be careful not to cast it over any debris. Wait for a few seconds for a fish to catch the lure.

Typically, you’ll hear three splashes before the fish bites the lure. Once it bites, press the hook button to catch the fish. But first, you’ll have to tire out the fish. If the fish goes left, use the LS button to move the rod right. If it’s moving right, then use the LS button to take your rod to the left. Then, press the reel-in button to catch the fish. Only try to reel in the fish after it has tired out.

You can also get better rods like the Fine Fishing Rod from the Greymane camp, which an NPC sells. Having better rods will allow you to get better catches, and some of them will be a great way to earn money.
