How to Get the Hyacinth Macaw Pet in Crimson Desert by Completing and Solving

Select Language:

Crimson Desert’s latest update adds several new features for players, including repeatable boss battles, a disguise shop, and some new legendary animals you can make into pets. Among the legendary birds, the most popular is the mechanical Iron Eagle, but if you prefer something a bit cuter and smaller, you can try to find the Hyacinth Macaw.

If you want to get this bird as your pet, you’ll need to complete a few steps. Here’s how to do it:

How to Get the Hyacinth Macaw

First Step: Gather Desert Melons
The Hyacinth Macaw’s favorite food is Desert Melons. Feeding them will quickly increase the bird’s Trust meter, which is important for making the Macaw your pet. These melons are found in the northwest region of Crimson Desert.
You can buy Desert Melons from Grocer’s Shops—they sell them for 72 Copper each, and you can buy up to five at a time. If you haven’t explored far into this area, head to the main city just south of Tashkalp. It’s accessible by horseback, following the main roads.

Tip: Buy at least 12 Desert Melons to start. More could be helpful since other birds might land on the feeder and try to eat the food. Keeping a supply ensures you don’t need to make multiple trips to fill the Trust meter fully.

Second Step: Liberate Giant’s Yard Outpost Camp
Next, head to Giant’s Yard Outpost, located to the far east along the Red River, just south of the Redtree Forest. The camp is controlled by the Wolf Trackers faction. It has a small enemy force that’s not too hard to deal with.
You need to reduce the camp’s control bar from 100% down to zero. This forces the enemies to flee. You can do this effectively by shooting explosive arrows at their guard towers, destroying the towers and killing the soldiers from a distance.

Hyacinth Macaw Location
The area with the Hyacinth Macaw can be tricky because it shares the space with many tropical birds that might try to eat your melons, and its flight path can be unpredictable. After some testing, a good spot to place the Sotdae (the offering perch) is on the cliff northeast of the camp, to the right of the large wooden tower shown in the game. Several spots along this cliff work, but you should stay in the general area to ensure the Macaw sees your offering.

Timing doesn’t seem to matter much, but people have had better luck during daytime, especially between 8:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M.

Waiting for the Bird
Getting the Macaw to land might require multiple attempts or waiting about 45 minutes. When it finally lands on your feeder and starts eating, it will need at least seven Desert Melons to fill its Trust meter. Once filled, you’ll have the option to “Take In” the Hyacinth Macaw, officially making it your pet.

Pet Details
The Hyacinth Macaw doesn’t provide any unique benefits like other pets might—mainly, it can gather materials or loot from enemy corpses. The main distinction is that it is the largest parrot in the game.
