The Axe of the Apocalypse in Crimson Desert stands out as one of the most mysterious and powerful weapons to ever exist. With a whopping 99,999 attack stat, the axe can take a massive bite out of any boss’s HP. The only trade-off is the weapon’s abysmally low durability, which makes it impractical for any end-game build.

Hence, you would want to treasure the Axe of the Apocalypse in Crimson Desert instead of wielding it in a battle. If you want to acquire the strongest axe in the game, this article is for you.

How to obtain Axe of the Apocalypse in Crimson Desert

While many players have reported the Axe of the Apocalypse appearing unexpectedly in their inventory, its presence is tied to the Crimson Desert’s campaign. To receive the strongest weapon in the game, you must defeat the Umbra (the final boss) and watch the cutscene. Search for the two-handed weapon in your inventory once you wake up at Pailune.

The battle with Umbra isn’t exactly a smooth encounter; fighting while mounted on the Blackstar dragon introduces a clunkiness, as the flying debris constantly restricts your movement. You must dodge the beam attack and maintain a certain range to effectively use Fireball to deal damage. The invisible barrier will further prevent you from closing in on Umbra, which adds to the difficulty of the battle.

Axe of the Apocalypse in Crimson Desert is no ordinary weapon

Unlike other weapons in Crimson Desert, the Axe of the Apocalypse isn’t meant to be wielded in the battle. Instead, it is a trophy rewarded upon defeating a formidable boss in the game. The axe’s 99,999 attack stat comes with a major trade-off of a singular durability point, meaning you can use it only once before it breaks.

What’s worse is that you cannot repair the Axe of the Apocalypse. You can either choose to swing it at an enemy once, or keep it in your inventory.

Here’s the official description of the Axe of the Apocalypse:

” An apocalyptic tool feared even by the gods. A transcendent power, capable of sundering the very earth, surges through your fingertips. Yet, the moment that power is liberated, the axe will shatter, unable to withstand the overwhelming recoil.”
