Abyss Cresset of Arboria Forest

The Abyss Cresset of Arboria Forest is a Secret Place in Crimson Desert, located in the Arboria Forest ruins north of the City of Hernand. Activating this Abyss Cresset requires solving a three-pillar fountain puzzle.

Location

The Arboria Forest is located north of Hernand City, west of the Hills of No Return area. The ruins are highlighted on the map as a Mysterious Zone marked with a question mark.

Puzzle Solution

The fountain has three pillars, each with water flowing from bowls on top. The goal is to align all three pillars so that the water falls into the central basin below.

1. Approach a pillar and look for the square-shaped slit.

2. Execute a Stab move with your sword targeting the slit, and push the movement stick in the direction you want the pillar to rotate.

3. Keep rotating the pillar until its water stream falls into the central basin.

4. Repeat for all three pillars.

5. Once all three water streams converge in the basin, the Abyss Cresset activates.
