Crimson Desert has received a new update that adds many new features, fixes bugs, and introduces fresh content for players. The biggest updates include new difficulty levels and storage options for your equipment. Additionally, players can now find and collect new bird pets to accompany them on their adventures.
One of the most exciting new animal companions is the legendary phoenix. This large, striking bird has vibrant orange and red feathers. It’s relatively easy to get this pet no matter where you are in Crimson Desert.
### Location of the Legendary Phoenix
To find the phoenix, head northeast through the Crimson Desert region, just below the Trader’s Expanse. Look for a large rocky gorge surrounded by sand dunes inside the desert. In this area, you’ll see many different birds flying around.
The tricky part is that the phoenix isn’t always in the same spot. It follows a wide flight path over the area, making it hard to catch. For the best chance, go to the marked spot on the map in the photo above — a large rock where you can stand and spot the landscape in all directions.
This vantage point makes it much easier to find the phoenix, as the big orange bird is hard to miss. It’s usually flying with smaller birds next to it. Unlike some legendary animals, you don’t have to fight the phoenix. Instead, just shoot it down with your bow to kill it.
### Tips for Finding the Phoenix
It’s better to hunt for the phoenix during daytime because it’s tough to see at night. The bird may be larger than most others, but it can still be missed if you’re in dark conditions. Keep an eye out for the big orange bird flying with smaller ones.
### Defeating and Obtaining the Phoenix Feather
Once you manage to shoot down the phoenix, go to its corpse and skin it to get a Phoenix Feather. Take this feather to any witch and select their Craft Abyss Gear option. Look for the tab on the far right, where you’ll see an option to craft a “Sigil of Solidarity (Phoenix)” for a low price — just the feather you collected from the bird.
Create the sigil, then open your inventory, pick the sigil, and select the “use” option to consume it. This action will add the legendary phoenix to your list of pets immediately. To summon your phoenix, open your inventory, go to the “Pets” tab, and select the bird. It will then follow you on your journey.
### Using and Managing Your Phoenix
Like other pets, the phoenix can gather materials you might have missed while exploring. The bird doesn’t help in combat, but it’s nice to have it fly around without getting in your way. If you want to dismiss the phoenix at any point, just go back to the pets tab, select the bird, and dismiss it.
