Trukan Boss Guide in Crimson Desert

by

In Chapter 9 of Crimson Desert, T’rukan the Ascended is a challenging boss fight against a powerful hand-to-hand combatant. He’s known for his incredible strength and attacks that are quick, constant, and deal significant damage.

Here’s a breakdown of T’rukan’s main attacks and how to dodge them, plus the strategies we used to defeat him. Don’t forget to bring Palmar Pills, healing food, and the necessary skills to make the fight easier.

Having Palmar Pills and plenty of food is crucial for this battle, because T’rukan is a very powerful enemy who deals a lot of damage. While you can try to win by just healing through his attacks, it will make the fight much simpler if you’re well-prepared.

How to Beat T’rukan, the Ascended in Crimson Desert

Attack Pattern to Use Against T’rukan

  1. Avoid parrying, as T’rukan’s fists and kicks are better to be dodged.
  2. Forward Slashes (R1+R2) & Blinding Flash Finishers (L1+R1)+R2) are your main attack methods.
  3. You should only attack after T’rukan has completed his own attack, or when he’s temporarily stunned from Blinding Flash (L1+R1).
  4. T’rukan’s attacks are extremely frequent and aggressive; this battle needs to be one of patience, where you’re balancing your attack timings in windows where T’rukan can be stunned.
  5. Our attack pattern was: Lock-on, dodge backwards until he’s still, use a Blinding Flash Finisher, and repeat.
  6. You more than likely will need to use Palmar Pills during this fight, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t kill him before he kills you once, twice, thrice, or even more.

T’rukan’s Fighting Moves (& How to Avoid Them)

  1. T’rukan will shoot two purple bolts from his hand that have weak tracking, so dodge these when they appear. This is followed by a lock-on kick or a palm strike, which also needs to be dodged.
  2. Being too far away from T’rukan will see him fire an explosive under your feet, so try to stay close, but not too close.
  3. T’rukan can release a quick flurry of punches and kicks, which also need to be dodged.
  4. T’rukan is very good at dodging your own moves, which is why you should only rely on Blinding Flash Finishers and other Heavy Attacks to build his stun meter.
  5. T’rukan’s invulnerability move will see him fire a barrage of purple blasts from his hands. Try to dodge left and right instead of backwards.
  6. For the most part, T’rukan’s move set relies on unarmed combos with his fists and feet at close range, which is why you should maintain a decent distance so you can dodge these attacks and follow up with your own.
