Update on New Movement Mechanics – April 13, 10:15 AM: The latest Patch 1.03.00 from Pearl Abyss has introduced a new official skill dubbed Focused Aerial Roll. Notably, this skill utilizes Spirit instead of Stamina during execution.
Previous Update – April 6, 5:04 AM: In the 1.02.00 game patch, the Focus-Boost tech was integrated. Players should note that performing an Aerial Roll while in Focus immediately cancels this state, thus hindering access to the Unleash mechanic that provides a notable speed enhancement.

Among various techniques available, the newly unveiled Focus-Boost movement technology stands out as both entertaining and advantageous. This physics exploit significantly enhances flight speed by synergizing Aerial Roll and Focused Insight. Consequently, players can traverse vast landscapes efficiently while conserving stamina.
Understanding the Focus-Boost Tech
This community-identified Focus-Boost technique amalgamates three essential skills:
- Focus: Acquired early in the game’s progress.
- Focused Insight: This ability is unlocked once players reach Focus Level 3.
To successfully learn both Aerial Roll and Focused Insight, players will need to collect Abyss Artifacts.
Executing these skills in a particular sequence results in a notable enhancement to flight speed. With the addition of lower stamina costs for Flight incorporated in Patch 1.01.00, players can traverse the vast terrain of Pywel with remarkable efficiency.
Executing the Focus-Boost
To utilize this advanced movement technique, follow these precise steps:
- Launch into the air by performing a jump, double jump, or using Aerial Force Palm, and activate Flight with the Square/X button.
- Engage Focus by pressing R1+L1, experiencing a slow-motion effect during this action.
- Press Circle/B to initiate Aerial Roll, continuing in slow motion.
- As the Aerial Roll finishes, press the R1/RB button to trigger Insight.
This final action will transfer you forward at a speed significantly surpassing that of a standard glide.
Benefits of Mastering the Focus-Boost
While mastering this secret movement technique isn’t mandatory for completing Crimson Desert, it undoubtedly enriches the experience of exploring Pywel. When combined with other movement abilities such as Aerial Maneuver and Aerial Swing, along with possessing considerable stamina, players can effortlessly access remote locations, including summits like the Root’s End Ruins, allowing for effective farming of Abyss Gear.
This concludes our comprehensive guide.
This guide is informed by over 60 hours of gameplay from the PC edition of Crimson Desert, with all screenshots drawn from this version.
