Crimson Desert: Spire of Soaring (Toward the Nest)

How to activate the Spire of Soaring in Crimson Desert's Toward the Nest quest — fix the bugged fan, solve both circuit puzzles, and open the Crescent Skybridge.

Fusion Thunder By •

Quick Answer

To activate the Spire of Soaring during Toward the Nest, enter the mineshaft east of the Spire and reset the bugged wind fan by pulling and re-seating one of its spheres. Solve the wall circuit puzzle (form the blue lines), then the second-floor circle puzzle (rotate to a T-shape) to ascend to the Abyss Sky Islands. Align the south and north laser spheres, connect both cable conduits, and Force Palm the wall button to open the Crescent Skybridge to the Crowcaller boss.

The Spire of Soaring is the centerpiece of Crimson Desert’s Toward the Nest quest — a vertical tower of circuit puzzles that ends at the Crescent Skybridge and the Crowcaller boss. One early step is a known bug (the wind fan can stop working), so this guide covers the fix plus every puzzle solution.

Short Answer

Enter the mineshaft east of the Spire and reset the bugged wind fan by pulling one of its two spheres and re-seating it. Ride the wind up, solve the wall circuit puzzle (rotate the discs until the blue lines connect), then the second-floor circle puzzle (rotate to a T-shape) to ascend to the Abyss Sky Islands. Align the south and north laser spheres onto the orange crystals, connect both cable conduits, and Force Palm the wall button to open the Crescent Skybridge to the Crowcaller boss.

Key Takeaways

  • Enter via the mineshaft east of the Spire; the wind fan can be bugged — pull a sphere and re-seat it to reset it.
  • Upgrade Axiom Force to level 2 (red tree) for the wall-scaling double jumps on the Sky Islands.
  • Two circuit puzzles: form the blue lines on the wall grid, then rotate the upper circle into a T-shape.
  • Align both laser spheres onto their orange crystals (they turn blue), then connect two cable conduits.
  • Force Palm the powered wall button to open the Crescent Skybridge to the Crowcaller boss.

How Do You Enter the Spire of Soaring?

Through the mineshaft east of the Spire — and you may need to fix the fan. Travel east from the main Spire structure to the mineshaft and drop in. You’ll find a large ventilation fan meant to blow you upward; if the wind isn’t active, it’s bugged. Pull one of the two glowing spheres (power batteries) on the fan’s sides and place it back in its slot to reset it. Step on, jump, and glide up to the first level.

How Do You Solve the Circuit Puzzles?

Wall grid first, then the upper circle. Aim your lantern (or use Blinding Flash) at the wall grid to reveal the orange current lines, then rotate the discs with Axiom Force:

  1. Spin the bottom-left disc until its blue line connects.
  2. Spin the middle row, second disc from the left until its blue line connects.
  3. Spin the middle row, second disc from the right until the blue line forms a 7 shape.
  4. Spin the bottom-right disc until its blue lines also form a 7 shape.
The wall circuit puzzle inside the Spire of Soaring in Crimson Desert, showing the player using a red energy beam to rotate a circuit disc on the decorated stone wall, with glowing blue connection lines forming the correct path and on-screen prompts for Pull From, Turn Counter-clockwise, Turn Clockwise, and Cancel.
The wall circuit puzzle in the Spire of Soaring — use Axiom Force to rotate each disc until the blue lines connect: bottom-left connects straight, middle-left connects straight, middle-right forms a 7, and bottom-right also forms a 7 to complete the circuit.

Ride the elevator up. On the second floor, stand on the central platform and rotate the giant wall circle with Axiom Force until the blue lines form a T-shape — this carries the tower up to the Abyss Sky Islands.

How Do You Open the Crescent Skybridge?

Align both laser spheres, connect the cables, then hit the button. Grab the Abyss Nexus in front of you and make sure Axiom Force is level 2. Scale the walls (Axiom Force the wall + double jump) to the south laser sphere, and use Axiom Force to point its laser at the orange crystal until it turns blue; repeat at the north sphere. Glide back to center, jump and Force Palm three times to cross the gap, then connect the left cable conduit and the right cable conduit (under the trees). Climb to the central wall button, hold your resist key, and Force Palm it to open the Crescent Skybridge.

How Do You Reach the Crowcaller Boss?

Follow the quest marker southeast to the bridge, walk through the triangle portal, and use Axiom Force to spin the stone pillar’s disc to activate the skybridge. Cross it to enter the arena and start the Crowcaller boss fight.

FAQ

Why isn’t the wind fan working in the Spire of Soaring?

It’s a known bug. Pull one of the two spheres on the side of the fan and place it back into its slot to reset the machine and restart the wind.

What’s the wall circuit puzzle solution?

Rotate the discs with Axiom Force: bottom-left until blue connects, middle-left until blue connects, middle-right into a 7 shape, and bottom-right into a 7 shape.

What skill do you need for the Abyss Sky Islands?

Axiom Force level 2 (red skill tree), which gives the launching double jump used to scale the walls toward the laser spheres.

What does the Spire of Soaring lead to?

Opening the Crescent Skybridge takes you to the arena for the Crowcaller boss fight.
