Crimson Desert: Flying Fortress Orbian Walkthrough

The Flying Fortress Orbian is a dragon-mounted assault in Crimson Desert that ends with the H.A.L.L. boss. It leans hard on the Stab Skill to get inside and a stun combo to win the fight — and the guide includes a no-bow strategy in case you’re not running archery.

Short Answer

Call your dragon, fly to the fortress, and destroy the 6 exterior cores with fireballs (hit them while they glow yellow) to drop the barrier. Inside, use the Stab Skill on the capstan (rotate clockwise) and on the glass barriers to reach the roof; destroy every glass barrier around the edge and the center one, then enter the boss chamber by climbing the door, holding resist, and using Force Palm. Beat H.A.L.L. by hitting it with Axiom Force → Force Current to stun, then a charged bow shot — or, with no bow, reflect its projectiles using Nature’s Snare in Focus Mode.

Key Takeaways

• Reach the fortress on your dragon; destroy the 6 cores (when yellow) to drop the barrier.
• The Stab Skill (blue stamina tree) is required — for the capstan and the glass barriers.
• Required boss skills: Force Current (green tree) and Nature’s Snare upgraded to Nature’s Retribution (level 2).
• Stun combo: Axiom Force → Force Current, then a charged bow shot for big damage.
• No bow? Use Nature’s Snare in Focus Mode to collect and reflect the boss’s projectiles.

How Do You Get Inside the Flying Fortress Orbian?

Drop the barrier with your dragon, then carve in with the Stab Skill.

1. Open your radial menu and call your dragon — you’ll mount automatically. Fly to the fortress (one fireball clears the balloon airships).
2. Destroy the 6 cores around the exterior by hitting each with a fireball when it glows bright yellow to bring down the barrier. A cutscene drops Kliff inside.
3. Use the Stab Skill (from the blue stamina tree) on the capstan and rotate it clockwise to open a hole in the ceiling.
4. Move up and use the Stab Skill again to pierce the glass barrier on the elevator.

How Do You Clear the Roof?

Defeat the enemies on the new level and head south, then climb the hanging cables to the roof. Use the Stab Skill to destroy every glass barrier around the edge, then the final barrier in the center. A door opens to the south — jump down and follow the hallway to the boss chamber.

How Do You Beat the H.A.L.L. Boss?

Prep the right skills, then stun and burst it. Before entering, make sure you have Force Current (green tree) and Nature’s Snare upgraded to Nature’s Retribution (level 2). Enter by climbing the door, holding resist, and using Force Palm.

In the fight:

• Hit the boss with Axiom Force, then Force Current to stun it.
• With a bow, follow up with a Charged Shot for massive damage while it’s stunned.
• No bow? Enter Focus Mode, use Nature’s Snare to collect the boss’s projectiles, then release them to reflect the damage back.
