Crimson Desert How To Use Blinding Flash

Blinding Flash is one of those skills the game tells you about once then expects you to remember forever. If it feels like it is not working, it is usually because the timing and inputs are very specific.

How To Use Blinding Flash In Crimson Desert

To use Blinding Flash, you must enter the stance first, then refocus the input again to activate the light.

It is a two step input, not a single press.

Blinding Flash Controls Explained

This is where most players get stuck.

PC Controls

• Hold CTRL and left mouse button at the same time

• Release CTRL

• Press and hold CTRL again to focus the light

If you do not re press CTRL, nothing happens.

Controller Controls

• Hold RB and LB together (R1/L1)
