In Crimson Desert, Wavecutters are unique boots that dramatically speed up swimming. They’re tucked away in a treasure chest inside a cave hidden behind a waterfall in the Delésia region. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get them.
How to Find the Wavecutters
Save
The Wavecutters lie in the Keeper’s Cave, concealed behind a waterfall. That waterfall sits beneath a large wooden bridge just southeast of the letter “L” in “Delésia” on your map.
Fast-travel to the Abyss Trace “Serpent’s Tail Wall.”
Head southeast to the bridge, then drop down to the waterfall below it.
A small stone cairn right in front of the waterfall always marks the hidden cave. Spot the pile, then lunge through the water with a thrust attack to slip behind the falls.
Once inside, explore the cave and open the treasure chest to claim the Wavecutters.
How to Use the Wavecutters

The boots come with the special skill “Wavecutter.” While Cliff is swimming, press your quick-dodge button to trigger it:
PC: Alt
PS5: Circle
Xbox: B
Each use propels Cliff a long distance forward, letting you cross bodies of water in seconds.
The skill holds 5 charges. They refill on a short cooldown of about 5 in-game minutes (5 real-time seconds).
Note: Only Cliff can equip the Wavecutters, and they cannot be upgraded.
