Crimson Desert Missing Boss Knowledge: Moren and Clockwork Mantis Status
Pearl Abyss says knowledge for Moren, the Mistwood Huntmaster and Clockwork Mantis cannot currently be obtained. Here is the latest official status.
Pearl Abyss still lists this active issue on the official March 31 Known Issues page:
- knowledge of the following two bosses cannot be obtained:
Moren, the Mistwood HuntmasterClockwork Mantis
That is the latest official status.
Quick answer
What is officially confirmed:
- the issue is active
- it affects boss
knowledge, not the boss fights themselves - the two named bosses are
Moren, the Mistwood HuntmasterandClockwork Mantis
So if you defeated one of these bosses and still did not get the knowledge entry, the official notice already explains why.
Officially confirmed
Pearl Abyss gives an unusually clean version of this bug because it names the exact affected bosses.
That means this is not a vague "some boss entries are bugged" problem. It is a targeted knowledge-entry issue with two currently listed names.
What players are likely seeing
Based on the official wording, affected players are most likely experiencing:
- boss completion without the expected knowledge unlock
- an incomplete knowledge log despite normal progression
- uncertainty over whether the entry is hidden, missable, or bugged
The search intent here is strong because players often assume they missed a mechanic when the real answer is that Pearl Abyss already marked the entries as unobtainable.
Current workaround
Pearl Abyss does not currently list a workaround for unlocking these two entries.
That means there is no official claim that:
- refighting the boss fixes it
- reloading the save fixes it
- a second Observation fixes it
Until Pearl Abyss posts one of those steps, it is safer not to promise a workaround.
What to do now
If your knowledge log is missing one of these entries:
- confirm the boss name matches
MorenorClockwork Mantis - compare the issue against the live known-issues notice
- keep your save data intact
- report the issue if you want to add another reproducible example
What is still unresolved
Pearl Abyss has not yet said:
- whether a patch will retroactively award the missing knowledge
- whether players will need to revisit the encounter after the fix
- whether the issue is fully global or tied to specific states
Right now, the only fully safe statement is that the knowledge entries are still officially unobtainable.
