Whether you’re fighting a boss or being surrounded by bandits, Crimson Desert can be surprisingly tricky, at least for the first few hours. You’ve got limited health and stamina, and low-level gear that’s not doing all that much for you. That’s where refining your weapons and armour comes in, and a hurdle you’ll soon run…
If you’ve been wandering around the Serkis Estate in Crimson Desert, then you’ve no doubt stumbled across the Halssius Conflux statue puzzle in the southeast. It’s a mysterious grove full of statues hiding some kind of treasure, and you’re not given much in the way of a clue as to what to do, except for…
Working out how to chop down trees for Turnali’s Request in Crimson Desert is really quite confusing. Hernand’s smithy asks you to get him some fine timber to repair his hammer, and while this, obviously, comes from trees, the actual process of woodcutting in the game can be a bit unusual—the same goes with mining…
Unlocking the Hernand Castle Strongbox is a fun little puzzle in Crimson Desert in which you have to replicate a melody, but if you’re not musically inclined, you might struggle somewhat. To access this safe, you’ll first need to enter Hernand Castle and you’ll also have to get a key to unlock the door to…
So you’ve been wandering around in Crimson Desert and met a very suspicious stranger, who handed you the Lost Letter before disappearing into thin air. Well, now what? That’s a good question, and you’re not given any hints as to what the stranger wants or how to even read the Lost Letter. Your natural reaction…
Tracking down key locations in Crimson Desert is vital if you’re looking to steal items of value, or even open a safe like the Hernand Castle Strongbox, since this is located behind a locked door. Rather than finding specific keys for specific doors, Crimson Desert has a generic system where you can use any key…
Puzzling out how to fish for Annabella’s Request in Crimson Desert is rather tough, especially as the game doesn’t explain the key principles of fishing in its help section (how helpful). It’s easy enough to head to the spot she highlights, take out the rod, and cast the line, but how the actual catching of…
You’ll need to work out how to mine some iron ore in Crimson Desert for Rhett’s Request. This giant storekeeper in Hernand gives you one of the first Requests in the game, and it’s a doozy if you haven’t yet wrangled with the game’s not-exactly-intuitive tool control system. The rest of the quest is pretty…
Unlocking new characters in Crimson Desert is one of the coolest features in the game. There are five playable companions you can find during your travels across Pywel, each with their own skill trees and weapon specialities. You can even get your comrades to follow you as you head out questing, letting you face the…
Doing a bit of trade in Crimson Desert is just one of the many ways you can earn camp funds, letting you undertake various projects and send your Freeswords out on missions across Pywel. While you can grab trade goods early, stow them in your inventory, and sell them for coin a bit later, the…
