What You Need Before You Start
Before heading out, grab the Sotdae of Bond (Bird Feeder). You cannot tame the Gyrfalcon without it. Place this item on the ground at the spawn location to attract the bird.
Also stock up on Marbled Meat, which is the Gyrfalcon’s favorite food. Pick it up from the Butcher in Hernand Town or any Butcher vendor in Pywel. Marbled Meat gives +35 Trust per feeding, making it the fastest way to hit the 100 Trust threshold required to tame the bird.
Where to Find the Gyrfalcon in Crimson Desert
The Gyrfalcon spawns on the cliff near the Spire of Ringing Truth, located in the west region of Pailune. On the map, look just west of the “P” in “Pailune” and you will find the cliff.
The Gyrfalcon shares this spawn point with Eagles, so expect both birds to appear in the same area.
Gyrfalcon Spawn Time
The Gyrfalcon spawns between 5 PM and 11 PM in-game time. Head to the cliff at around 11 AM so you have the Sotdae of Bond set up and ready well before the spawn window opens.
How to Tame the Gyrfalcon Step by Step
- Travel to the cliff near the Spire of Ringing Truth in western Pailune.
- Open your inventory and place the Sotdae of Bond on the ground using L1/LB + Triangle/Y.
- Interact with the Sotdae of Bond and load Marbled Meat inside it.
- Step back and wait for the Gyrfalcon to land on the feeder.
- Let it eat until it reaches +100 Trust.
- Approach the Gyrfalcon and press Square/X to tame it as your pet.
If an unwanted bird lands on the feeder first, you can shoot it off. Just note that you may need to reposition the feeder afterward since flies will swarm it.

Taming the Gyrfalcon takes patience. The bird does not always land on the feeder, and some attempts can drag on for a long time with no results. Arrive early, set up the feeder before 5 PM, and give yourself a large window to wait it out. If the Gyrfalcon does not appear during one spawn cycle, reset and try again during the next night window.
Stick with Marbled Meat exclusively if you want to reach 100 Trust as quickly as possible. Play Now!
