The Relic of Darkness is a powerful accessory that you can get quite easily in Crimson Desert, as long as you find the courage to leave Hernand. Unfortunately, if you wish to locate it early, then it will be quite a challenge. This is because it is located in a house all the way out in Delesyia, which is located east of Demeniss. Thus, you would need to head east from Hernand, crossing almost two full nations to get here. So, hop on your favorite mount (horse or dragon; you have a lot of options to choose from) and get ready to ride.
Where Is the Relic of Darkness in Crimson Darkness (Location)
The Relic of Darkness is found in an abandoned house deep inside Delesyian Territory, in the Eastern Hills area. The location of the same will be marked above for your convenience. The easiest way to remember this location is to head to the ‘E’ of the Eastern Hills on the map, which lies a little bit south of the ‘Y’ in Delesyia.
If you have followed the above directions correctly, then you will arrive at an abandoned house. Head inside, and you will see a bookshelf to your right. Walk towards this bookshelf and press forward when you get near it. This is a hidden door, which you can pass through.
Once inside, you have almost obtained the Relic of Darkness. It is locked behind a Strongbox Puzzle, similar to other Strongbox Puzzles you would have found in Hernand and other areas.
How To Solve the Strongbox Puzzle To Get the Relic of Darkness in Crimson Desert
There will be five wheels you have to spin up or down to solve the puzzle. Fortunately, in this puzzle, you have to lower all the dials:
- 1st Wheel: 6 times
- 2nd Wheel: 5 times
- 3rd Wheel: 4 times
- 4th Wheel: 3 times
- 5th Wheel: 2 times
Once all the dials are lowered the appropriate amount, then press the button on the right to finish the puzzle and open the box. This will unveil the Relic of Darkness inside, letting you get it easily.
If you want to steal it without getting caught, then just put on your mask, steal it, and crouch down and stay hidden until the theft marker times out. After this is done, you can remove your mask and walk out freely, without getting caught or penalized. Alternatively, you can also use the Great Thief’s Gloves to steal it without being detected.
