The focus or observe action is done by holding the L1 button (PS5). You will use this action for numerous purposes, including greeting, speaking, holding the lantern, precision looking, learning recipes, reading notes, and observing the NPCs around you. If you walk by someone and your character starts looking at them and the L1 button prompts at the bottom of the screen, it means there is something important. It can be either a person asking for a request or someone performing a unique skill that you do not have.

To learn a new skill from NPCs and Enemies in Crimson Desert, all you have to do is to observe them by holding the L1. This will pop up a small text of “Learning in Progress”, and then you will automatically unlock the skill. This is the perfect method to save your Abyss Artifacts for enhancing the important stats like Stamina, Health, and Spirit.
