Crimson Desert: How many chapters?

Updated · Patch history

There are 12 chapters plus a prologue. Game8's main-quest archive and Rock Paper Shotgun's main-quest list both stop at chapter 12. The names I am willing to print are: Prologue Dead of Night, 1 The First Encounter, 2 Golden Greed, 3 Howling Hill, 4 The Price of Knowledge, 5 Guest Unbidden, 6 Cracks in the Shield, 7 Homecoming, 8 Blood Coronation on Game8 and Healing Pailune on RPS, 9 The Sage of the Desert, 10 Counterattack, 11 Truth and Reality, 12 The Abyss.

The final job is Journey's End. I am not merging the two chapter 8 titles into one official name, because neither page is the publisher. Per-chapter hours are not published, so the length page keeps the only ranges that exist: a full-story estimate, not a chapter estimate.

Main-quest counts disagree in a different way. Game8 lists 46 main nodes. RPS counts 168 by splitting steps. Both numbers stay. The walkthrough page uses the 46-node breakdown by chapter.
