With our boss guide, you\u2019ll take him down in no time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fight against the Reed Devil in <a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/en\/game\/crimson-desert\/\" type=\"game\" id=\"73165\">Crimson Desert<\/a> only begins once you\u2019ve ridden up the pass to the Reed Field. Several encounters await you along the way, where you\u2019ll have to fight his minions. You can either rush past them on horseback or take them on. To stop more enemies from spawning, you need to destroy all of the scarecrows, the small spinning posts. At the top of the field, the boss himself will be waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reed-devil-the-perfect-preparation-for-the-boss-fight\">Reed Devil: The Perfect Preparation for the Boss Fight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-abilities-and-level\">Abilities and Level<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid biting into your controller in frustration, you should <strong>level Kliff up a bit before taking on the Reed Devil.<\/strong> If you\u2019ve only followed the main quest up to this point, chances are you\u2019ll be underleveled and poorly equipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To stand a solid chance against this devil of the reeds, your <strong>base Stamina and Health should be around level 4 to level 5.<\/strong> Spirit is optional and mostly depends on your preferred combat style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For our strategy, you should aim for roughly the following stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kliff\u2019s <strong>Health<\/strong> should be above 600<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stamina<\/strong> should be around 200<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For <strong>Spirit<\/strong>, a low value of around 40 is enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gear\">Gear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To stand your ground against the extremely fast Reed Devil, you want to make Kliff <strong>as sturdy as possible<\/strong>. Your goal should be a defense rating well above 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do that, pick up the <strong>Bolton Armor Set<\/strong> from the <strong>Contribution Shop<\/strong> in Hernand Castle. You don\u2019t need every piece, but you should at least get the plate helm, chest armor, and boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t unlocked enough <strong>Contribution Points<\/strong> for those rewards yet, you can alternatively buy the <strong>Canta Armor Set<\/strong> from merchant Rhett at the <strong>Equipment Shop<\/strong> in Hernand. Both armor sets give Kliff\u2019s defense a major boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-2c5db53f-290c-44b1-8f41-d14f594ec4e2 advgb-list advgb-list-admin-post\">\n<li><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/en\/games\/crimson-desert-beginner-tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Our Crimson Desert tips guide shows you where to find each of these shops.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Absolutely essential for survival:<\/strong> stock up on plenty of provisions. If you think you have enough food in your inventory to restore health, bring twice as much. There\u2019s no such thing as carrying too many healing items into this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weapons-and-shield\">Weapons and Shield<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For our offensive strategy, we need a fast one-handed sword. The ideal choice is the <strong>Sword of the Lord<\/strong>, which you should have obtained during the main quest by defeating the head of the <strong>Goldleaf Guild<\/strong>. If you already have enough materials, a <strong>Refinement<\/strong> at the blacksmith in Hernand certainly won\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to <strong>sharpen your sword one more time before the fight<\/strong> to gain an attack bonus. Right before the boss battle, you\u2019ll still come across a <strong>Grindstone<\/strong> on the left side of the reed field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crimson_Desert-Boss_Guide_Riedeteufel-Wetzstein.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crimson_Desert-Boss_Guide_Riedeteufel-Wetzstein.jpg\" alt=\"Crimson Desert: Armored knight sharpens his weapon on a whetstone in front of shield and rock face.\" class=\"wp-image-73835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crimson_Desert-Boss_Guide_Riedeteufel-Wetzstein.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crimson_Desert-Boss_Guide_Riedeteufel-Wetzstein-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crimson_Desert-Boss_Guide_Riedeteufel-Wetzstein-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crimson_Desert-Boss_Guide_Riedeteufel-Wetzstein-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crimson_Desert-Boss_Guide_Riedeteufel-Wetzstein-1320x743.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A sharpened blade is half the battle. Sharpen your weapon for an attack bonus. \u00a9 Pearl Abyss \/ S4G<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Essential for defense: <strong>a large shield.<\/strong> Even a basic one will do, such as the <strong>Bekker Large Shield<\/strong>, which you can loot from bandits or buy from merchants on the way to the boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reed-devil-the-best-strategy-for-phase-1-amp-phase-3\">Reed Devil: The Best Strategy for Phase\u00a01 &amp; Phase 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Reeddevil immediately shows just how fast and aggressive he is. His most dangerous moves are rapid combo attacks, where he briefly vanishes, then suddenly reappears in front of you and unleashes <strong>several lightning-fast strikes<\/strong> in quick succession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you <strong>raise your shield in time<\/strong>. If he still gets through or Kliff runs out of stamina, dodge immediately with a roll or a short jump to avoid taking massive damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time, you\u2019ll see smoke rising around Kliff two to four times before the first hit comes in. Once you\u2019ve learned this attack rhythm, you can also dodge right away and <strong>counter with a quick slash from the side<\/strong>, though this tactic is very risky because the Reed Devil can counter just as quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-99e6884d-8e5a-4be8-8f78-47ced167c9ba advgb-list advgb-list-info\">\n<li><strong><em>Tip for advanced players:<\/em><\/strong><em> If you\u2019re good at parrying, you can shut down the Reed Devil immediately during these combo attacks and break his posture after a few well-timed parries. Once that happens, he collapses and becomes extremely vulnerable to heavy attacks.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other attacks and how to defend against them:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-1fda1dcc-1d05-4d59-b778-9ae3333d665b advgb-list advgb-list-admin-post\">\n<li><strong>Lightning Slash:<\/strong> This is an attack Kliff can learn himself. The Reed Devil crouches down and reaches for his sword to charge it up. The best option is to dodge sideways as soon as he comes sliding toward you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long-range knife throw:<\/strong> If the Reed Devil creates distance and reaches for his belt, several knives are about to come flying at you. Raise your shield or dodge quickly to the side several times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sonic Boom:<\/strong> In the third phase, he upgrades the knife throw with three to four chained volleys of energy projectiles. Keep your shield raised, stay mobile, and dodge sideways if you run out of stamina. Getting hit here can kill you very quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doppelg\u00e4nger attack:<\/strong> In the final phase, a clone will occasionally sneak up behind you. If you keep your shield raised, it can hardly do any damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-window-to-attack\">Best Window to Attack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After finishing a combo attack, the Reed Devil jumps backward and sheaths his sword. <strong>That\u2019s your perfect opening<\/strong> for a counterattack. Stay close with your shield up and close the gap quickly when he hops back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now hit him with the <strong>Stab<\/strong> skill: hold right shoulder button + Y\/Triangle to charge it. If it connects, follow up with the right shoulder button. Alternatively, keep your large shield raised and go for a light slash, or <strong>use the learned<\/strong> <strong>Lightning Slash<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stab and thrust attacks come with two major advantages:<\/strong> the large shield protects you while attacking, and the Sword of the Lord can inflict <strong>Bleed<\/strong> with these strikes, causing the Reed Devil to keep losing health passively. This tactic is especially reliable for securing the win in phase three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reed-devil-the-cursed-phase-2\">Reed Devil: The Cursed Phase 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Between these two direct duels lies an incredibly annoying second phase, where the Reed Devil unleashes <strong>an entire horde of doppelg\u00e4ngers<\/strong> on you. They attack wildly, without coordination, and at lightning speed from every direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your goal<\/strong> here is not to kill them all, but to destroy the five poles that have now appeared in the arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> Keep your shield up at all times, stay on the move, and dodge in zigzag jumps. Watch the minimap and try to keep as many Reed Devils in front of you as possible so you don\u2019t get blindsided. Carefully move backward from pole to pole with evasive jumps and destroy each one with a charged heavy attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reed-devil-the-boss-fight-in-video\">Reed Devil: The Boss Fight in Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/3q0OU4-7r-U\">this video<\/a>, you can watch the boss fight against the Reed Devil using our defensive tank strategy, which is especially well suited for beginners.<\/p>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-2c5db53f-290c-44b1-8f41-d14f594ec4e2 > li{font-size:16px;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-2c5db53f-290c-44b1-8f41-d14f594ec4e2 > li{padding-left:22px;margin-left:0;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-2c5db53f-290c-44b1-8f41-d14f594ec4e2 > li:before{font-size:20px;color:#0693e3;line-height:18px;margin:2px;padding:2px;margin-left:-24px}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-99e6884d-8e5a-4be8-8f78-47ced167c9ba > li{font-size:16px;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-99e6884d-8e5a-4be8-8f78-47ced167c9ba > li{padding-left:22px;margin-left:0;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-99e6884d-8e5a-4be8-8f78-47ced167c9ba > li:before{font-size:20px;color:#0693e3;line-height:18px;margin:2px;padding:2px;margin-left:-24px}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-1fda1dcc-1d05-4d59-b778-9ae3333d665b > li{font-size:16px;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-1fda1dcc-1d05-4d59-b778-9ae3333d665b > li{padding-left:22px;margin-left:0;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-1fda1dcc-1d05-4d59-b778-9ae3333d665b > li:before{font-size:20px;color:#0693e3;line-height:18px;margin:2px;padding:2px;margin-left:-24px}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Reed Devil is an extremely tough boss that will give you trouble early on in Crimson Desert.
