To activate the Crescent Skybridge is an objective in Chapter 5 Main Quest Toward the Nest in Crimson Desert. This is one of the 40 Abyss Challenges.
First, you must advance the main quest Toward the Nest until you finish objective Activate the Spire of Soaring. Then you arrive at the Crescent Skybridge and must solve a puzzle to route power to the Skybridge.
Activate the Skybridge
Activating the Skybridge requires shining all lights from the round orbs at the wall panels, then repair two broken cables on the other side. This makes the power flow to the wall at the end, punch it once with Force Palm (press R3). Then the Skybridge can be activated. You can press L1+R1 / LB+RB to see the power cables, active ones are colored blue and inactive ones are yellow. The two broken cables are yellow until you reconnect them.
Step 1 (Optional): As soon as you arrive by elevator, step on the round floor plate in front of you to activate the fast travel point. If you fall down you can fast travel back here by pressing R3 on the map. However, if you fall it will reset the puzzle so must repeat all steps from here on.
Step 2: Ignore the big orb in front you, it already shines at the wall panel. Instead, go to the right of the orb and jump up the platforms where you see other orbs with light beams at the top of the area. You can easily reach the top by doing 3 Force Palm attacks in midair to boost yourself up (jump and press R3 x3 times).
At the top, use Axiom Force (hold L3) on the right Orb and aim the light at the wall panel.
Do the same for the leftmost orb and shine it at the left wall panel. Be careful of the purple flowers on the path, they damage your health.
When done correctly, all of the big rings will turn blue and start rotating. The two middle Orbs (the one at the bottom and the top) don’t need to be interacted with. They already shine at the correct wall panels. If you accidentally interacted with them and pointed them somewhere else, you’ll have to repoint them at the wall panels that turn blue. So in total all 4 orbs must shine their line at 4 wall panels that turn blue.
Step 3: From the middle Orb at the top, jump over to the other side through the rotating rings. You do this by jumping and using 3x Force Palm with R3 in midair, then press Square (PS5) / X (XB) to glide over.
On this side you must fix two broken power cables. Hold L1+R1 / LB+RB to follow the power cables with a yellow glow, those are the broken ones. Follow them until you find the broken section and reconnect it by holding Square Square (PS5) / X (XB).
One broken cable is in the middle.
The other broken cable is on the far right.
When done correctly, you get a cutscene where the round wall panel at the end gets activated.
Step 4: Climb to the middle of the round wall panel at the end and hit it with Force Palm (R3) while hanging to the middle of it. This will give another cutscene where the Skybridge gets powered on.
Step 5: Climb up the wall panel and head toward the objective marker on the minimap. Step through the Skybridge and a pillar will come out of the ground. Use Axiom Force on it (hold L3) and then turn it with Dpad Left/Right until it glows blue. Stop turning it when it’s glowing blue and wait a few seconds. Then the Skybridge gets activated.
Afterward, follow the path past the now activated skybridge. Use the wind turbines to fly up to the top platform, then step into the blue teleporter on the floor. It will teleport you to another platform, climb up until you see a tree. Before the tree is another fast travel point (floor plate) you can activate. Then approach the tree for a cutscene, defeat the enemies there to trigger the Chapter 5 boss fight.
