Crimson Desert How To Use Axiom Force
Axiom Force shows up early, then disappears for a while, then suddenly the game expects you to remember it during puzzles. If you forgot how it works, you are not alone… the controls are easy to miss.

Once you understand that loop, every puzzle becomes much easier.
