Crimson Desert: Puzzles
Updated · Patch history
The local set has seven puzzles: Spire of Soaring, Spire of Insight, Altar of Solitude, Monolith Crown, Sanctum of Absolution, the Screaming Vault, and Roots of Truth. Only the sanctum and the vault cleared the bar for a full page, because the others did not have four sourced fields that were unique inside the set. Abyss Artifact shows up as a repeated reward, so it does not by itself justify a page.
Strange Manor was filed as a puzzle in early notes and is a chapter 11 quest. Frozen Anguish was filed as a puzzle and is a sword.
