The newest Super Mario Galaxy Movie reveal gives me more hope than ever for a Super Smash Bros. cinematic universe

We’re a week away from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie releasing, and for some reason, the powers that be spoiled an awesome new character making their first appearance.

I’m slightly mad but also mostly excited because their inclusion is just incredibly cool, but if you want to avoid spoilers, stop looking right now. Go away. Seriously. If you’re going to be mad about the surprise reveal about a beloved Nintendo character in the new animated film, leave.

Are you gone? Okay, cool.

FOX MCCLOUD! The intrepid pilot of Star Fox fame has been confirmed to appear in the new movie, after previously being spotted in another trailer by eagle-eyed Nintendo fans, and he got a badass new poster to announce it. Check it out below:

For Nintendo fans and gamers in general, this is tremendous news. The announcement on Twitter/X received over 4.2 million views and 30,000 reposts in a little over an hour, so people are excited, to say the least. And so am I. Because if Fox can be included in this Nintendo and Illumination collaborative world, who else can they throw into the mix?

Teasers and trailers for the upcoming movie have already confirmed the inclusion of Pikmin and R.O.B., on top of Super Mario-specific characters like Bowser Jr., Yoshi, Birdo, Rosalina, Luma, Wiggler, and many others. But if we’re doing Fox and other Nintendo characters, too, then the possibilities are limitless.

And that’s why I want to see some sort of Super Smash Bros-like collaboration film. It’s possible that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie could be introducing a sort of multiverse that could bring in characters from other Nintendo IP, and like in Smash Bros, other game franchises too. There’s a blue hedgehog out there with his own film series that’s been known to have some run-ins with our favorite Italian plumber, you know.

But why stop there? Nintendo and Illumination could pull out all the stops and create their own Avengers: Endgame with a Super Smash Bros. movie featuring anyone you could think of who’s appeared in those games. It would be expensive and a big undertaking, but imagine the possibilities.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie launches worldwide on April 1, and I’ll be expecting some sort of Nintendo Nick Fury post-credits scene.

The Fated Shadow sword is one of those rare weapons in Crimson Desert that you can miss quite easily. However, its Greysoul Howling ability is one, if not the best, weapon skill that you can utilize. Sadly, the weapon isn’t part of a quest, so you’ll need to put in some extra effort to find it.

Fated Shadow sword location in Crimson Desert

To find the Fated Shadow sword, you’ll need to head to the Abyss region at Nest of Valor. The region is near the Dry Valley. This area might remain hidden for you. If you have reached the endgame content, you’ll reach the Abyss area after defeating the Goyen boss in Chapter 9.

Once the Abyss map is available, use the nexus on the small island next to the Dry Valley. This is the easiest way to travel to the spot where you can find the Fated Shadow sword.

How to reach the Fated Shadow sword in Crimson Desert

Once you arrive at the spot, the main path will be split into two directions. Take the path going right, and you’ll arrive at a small cave. Take the staircase next to the cave, and head upstairs. Inside, you’ll get a Fishball Soup recipe if you haven’t visited the location previously.

Keep traveling to the back of the cave, and a small icon will appear near a bucket and a few other objects kept on the floor. You’ll really need to be close to the spot for the marker to appear. This is the same spot from where you’ll manage to interact and add the Fated Shadow sword to your arsenal.

How does Greysoul Howling work in Crimson Desert

The Fated Shadows sword comes pre-built with the Greysoul Howling ability. You can activate it by pressing the R1/RB and R2/RT buttons, and it requires Spirit to work. It will call the ghost of Goyen, which releases a sweeping strike of shadow energy across the target area.

This ability is one of the best attacks, in my opinion, and you can target individual/multiple enemies with it. You can always choose to sell the ability and the sword, but I have kept both in my arsenal.
