Abyss Cressets are hidden fast travel points scattered throughout Pywel in Crimson Desert. There are 60 Abyss Cressets total, also known as Secret Places. Each one grants an Abyss Artifact (skill point) and unlocks a Fast Travel waypoint at that location. Finding all 60 unlocks the Pilgrim of Wonders trophy.
Abyss Cressets appear as glowing pedestals or pillars found in elevated, hidden, or puzzle-protected locations.
Some Abyss Cressets are accessible by simply climbing to a high point, while others require solving Ancient Ruins puzzles.
Interacting with an Abyss Cresset completes its associated Exploration challenge and grants one Abyss Artifact.
Each Abyss Cresset becomes a permanent Fast Travel point after activation.
