Crimson Desert Force Palm: How To Use It And What It Does

Force Palm is one of the first core abilities you get in Crimson Desert, and you will use it constantly for puzzles, movement, and even combat. The game introduces it quickly, but it does not fully explain everything it can do, which is why it can feel confusing at first.

How To Use Force Palm In Crimson Desert

Press the Force Palm input to activate it, then aim and release it to push or interact with objects.

Controls:

• PS5, press R3

• Xbox, press Right Stick

• PC, click the Mouse Wheel

You need Spirit to use it, so if nothing happens, your Spirit is likely empty.

How Force Palm Works

Force Palm lets you interact with objects and the environment using Axiom Force.

You can push, connect, or activate objects depending on the situation. Most early puzzles are built around this ability, so you will be using it often.

It is not just for puzzles either, it also has combat and movement uses.

Using Force Palm In Puzzles

This is where you will use it the most.

• Move objects into place

• Attach objects to surfaces

• Activate devices or mechanisms

You usually aim first, then use Force Palm to interact with the object.

Using Force Palm For Movement

Force Palm can also boost your movement.

If you jump and use it midair, you can push yourself upward multiple times. This helps you reach higher areas or climb faster without relying only on stamina.

Using Force Palm In Combat

Force Palm has a combat use as well.

You can use it to weaken enemy defenses, especially against stronger enemies or bosses. It is not your main damage tool, but it helps create openings.

How To Recharge Spirit

Force Palm uses Spirit, so you cannot spam it forever.

• Use Focus to recharge Spirit

• Wait for it to refill if needed

If your Spirit meter is empty, Force Palm will not activate.

Why Force Palm Is Not Working

If Force Palm is not working, it is usually one of these:

• Your Spirit is empty

• You are not using the correct input

• You are not aiming at a valid object

There are also cases where the Spirit meter disappears after certain quests. Using Focus should bring it back, but if it does not, reloading your save can fix it.

Final Blurb

Force Palm in Crimson Desert is a core ability you will use the entire game. It handles puzzles, movement, and even some combat utility, so learning how it works early makes everything smoother.
