Crimson Desert Map: All Regions Explained and Map Size

Crimson Desert is one of the biggest open-world RPGs releasing this year, and its map size is of epic proportions. The game has multiple regions, and its size is being compared to some of the biggest RPGs of all time, like Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2. Curious to learn more about the map and regions? Here is a complete guide on the Crimson Desert map, including all regions and what you can find in them.

How Big is the Crimson Desert Map Size?

Crimson Desert has a massive map that is said to be at least twice the size of Skyrim’s playable area, according to the game’s creative director. Other than that, it is also said to be a larger map than Red Dead Redemption 2. The estimated size of the Crimson Desert map is 30 to 42 square miles or 80 to 110 square kilometers. Both Skyrim and RDR2 2 have huge maps, but they also have a ton of content to explore in them. Whether Crimson Desert will have an equal amount of content depth to its map is yet to be seen. At least we know that there are multiple playable characters in Crimson Desert, so you can experience that land from different perspectives.

All Crimson Desert Map Regions

There are five main regions in Crimson Desert. Each of the regions has different biomes, political influence, and ecosystems. So, moving from one region to another should completely change your experience of exploration. Here are the names of all the major Crimson Desert map regions:

• Hernand
• Pailune
• Demeniss
• Delesyia
• The Crimson Desert

Hernand

Herand is a region filled with big cities and lush green fields. Its aesthetics are based on the high-fantasy Europe, something we have seen in many other western centric medieval games. This is also the first area of Crimson Desert that players can explore.

Pailune

Pailune is the stark opposite of Hernand. It is located on the northern side and is harsh land with snowy terrain and hard-to-cross mountainous areas. Here you will likely find the Staglord and Whitehorn, two of the Crimson Desert bosses.

Demeniss

Demeniss is the capital of Pywell, the main seat of power, and has a major military staging ground. This area will likely hold all the major siege-style battles we have seen in the trailers of Crimson Desert map exploration.

Delesyia

Delesyia is the most scientifically advanced region of Pywell, and here you will find a plethora of mechanical beings like robots and otherworldly creatures. This is also the region you get to fight Golden Star, a massive mechanical dragon.

The Crimson Desert

This area is named after the game, and it is a barren desert with crimson sand. The place is completely lawless and home to all types of brigands and other strong beings.

How to Fast Travel in Crimson Desert

With such a massive map size, the game also needs ways to allow players to fast travel between locations. Here are all the ways you can fast-travel to traverse and explore the Crimson Desert map:

• Mounts: Crimson Desert has an incredible variety of mounts that are not only great for traversing the land but also for fighting enemies. You can use horses, bears, lizards, raptors, and dragons as mounts in the game.
• Aerial: The game also offers a variety of aerial travel, like gliding or even flying at a later stage of the game. Other than that, you can mount dragons to fly from one place to another.
• Teleport Points: With such a big map, Crimson Desert is expected to have teleport points as well. Specific locations can be unlocked to instantly teleport there from the map.
• Tools: You can climb anything in Crimson Desert, similar to Assassin’s Creed games. Other than normal climbing, the game also has grapple hooks to make your vertical travel easier.
