The Sage of the Desert is one of the longest and most spiritual chapters in Crimson Desert. It opens the Crimson Desert region, introduces multiple parallel questlines, and explains more about the Abyss.
The Calling
After hearing the unknown voice, travel with Maegu and Woosa’s help toward the Cloister of Enlightenment. Use Focused Force Palm on the large statue core to unlock the chapter structure.
Four Trials
Complete Shattered Ties, Veiled Witch, Thinning Blade, and Six Statues and the Beast. They can be approached in different orders, but doing easier combat routes first helps you build momentum.
Enlightenment
Return to the cloister, open the golden doors, spar with Master Du, and enter the Throne of Truth sequence to learn what the Abyss really represents.
Quick Tips
- Recommended order: Shattered Ties, Veiled Witch, Thinning Blade, Six Statues and the Beast.
- Restock before Goyen and the Black Witch.
- Chapter 9 is a good place to upgrade gear before the endgame.
