Crimson Desert: Blackstar, the dragon

Updated · Patch history

Searches for a dragon are about Blackstar. Game8's mount page says the story hands it over at the end of chapter 11, which is Truth and Reality, before The Abyss. Steam's store description of the game is the second source I used for the mount existing as a featured part of the world, not for the chapter number. The chapter number is Game8's.

The same page frames Blackstar as the long-distance flyer, including the DLC islands if you would rather not sail. It is not the wyvern at Fort Windridge and it is not a temporary bear. I am not quoting a single hour count as the unlock, because the length pages disagree. Game8's 'around 60 hours of story' is one reading, next to GameRant's shorter story range.
