Crimson Desert’s Loop of Life is a rhythm based Abyss puzzle built around three rotating rings: instead of combat, the challenge demands precise movement, timing and smart reuse of power cores to activate each ring in sequence. Learn to ride ring rotation, shuttle the same cores between platforms with Axiom Force and Force Palm, and you’ll unlock the central mechanism and claim the Abyss Artifact.
How to Activate the Rings?
It’s relatively simple, you just need to fix the missing power core in their respective sockets and each ring has 1 empty socket.
Activating the First Ring
Head to the first ring, you’ll notice the empty socket right below the platform on the ring. And along with the empty socket, there lies the power core too. You just need to fix the power core into the socket using Axiom Force to move the power core right on top of the socket and then use Force Current or Force Palm to fix the core in the socket.
Obtaining the Third Power Core
After activating the first ring, look towards the lower end of the ring and you’ll notice the second power core floating in the air. But before you take it up to the second ring and fix it, let’s make a pit stop near the structure as depicted in the above image to get the third power core.
You’ll notice a locked room which is powered by the core. Fix the second core on to the socket to open up the locked door, you can find the third power core inside the room. Collect the power core and push it up towards the second ring.
Activating the Second Ring
Now, head upward onto the second ring and you’ll notice the empty socket to your right. Fix one of the power cores in the empty socket, this will activate the second ring.
Activating the Third Ring
Turn around and head towards the third ring along with the third power core. Use Axiom Force to move the power core around.
Head towards the upper direction of the ring and you’ll find the empty socket, where you need to fix the power core. With this, the third ring is also activated.
Restoring the Abyss
As the ring starts moving, you should be able to see the large button on a floating structure. Use Force Palm or Force Current to push the button, which will restore the Loop of Life Abyss and you can now claim the Abyss Artifact, completing the Loop of Life Abyss Challenge.
