Shadow Monarch of Pywel

Arise in Pywel. Solo Leveling's System, Shadow Army and Gates come into Crimson Desert, with the voices, sounds, music, portraits, fonts and effects of your own Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE install.

New in 1.0.6

• Real shadows in Pywel. Your Shadow Army rises as real Crimson Desert characters on Kliff's side: blue spectral bodies wrapped in purple shadow flames, with glowing red eyes. They fight whoever fights you. A shadow that falls rises again, and one left behind returns through Kliff's shadow.
• Your squad, anywhere. Choose up to 8 shadows in the System's Shadow Army tab. Tap View (or F5) anywhere to call them, and tap again to send them back.
• They grow with you. Every level, and your STR and VIT, make your shadows tougher.
• Gates about every 30 minutes. Waves of real enemies of the Gate's rank, to the rank's own Solo Leveling music. B, A and S Gates end with a boss. Score the points target before the timer runs out, or the Gate breaks.
• Jinwoo's Arsenal in Pywel. Each weapon you earn is laid at Kliff's feet as its closest Crimson Desert look-alike, with a matching Abyss gear (Frost Spike for the Frost Ice Sword, Storm Fang for the Lightning Dragon Blade, and more). Wear the blade and the System forges the gear into it, with a shadow standing in for the Witch.
• One System per game save. Every save keeps its own level, army and weapons. In a new game the System awakens once Kliff reaches Hernand, so the prologue plays as plain Crimson Desert.

The System

• Daily Quests, EXP from every enemy that falls around Kliff, levels, stat points (STR, VIT, AGI, PER, INT) and Hunter ranks from E to S.
• Shadow Extraction: strong foes and Gate bosses rise with a System window, ordinary foes from the HUD, up to three tries, each with Jinwoo's own "Arise". Tougher foes give higher grades.
• Named shadows join as you level: Igris, Iron, Tank, Tusk, Kaisel and Beru. Iron and Tank take part of the damage meant for Kliff; Tusk and Beru heal him.
• Cutscene fast-forward: hold B (or F9) outside fights to speed through cutscenes the game won't skip.

Controls

• Controller: hold View for the System. Tap View to Arise, to enter an open Gate, or to call your squad and send it back.
• Keyboard: F7 the System, F5 call your squad or enter a Gate, F6 extract, F8 the Shadow Army tab.

You need

• Crimson Desert and Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE, both installed. Nothing from either game is included in the download: Solo Leveling's sounds, art and music are read from your own install while you play, and the characters, weapons and effects in Pywel are Crimson Desert's own.
• Single player.
