Revision 5

Overview

The Acria Sword is a one-handed weapon in Crimson Desert with an Attack Power of 19 and a Critical Rate bonus at Level 2. These numbers put it among the strongest one-handed swords in the game, especially for builds that capitalize on frequent critical hits. The weapon also comes pre-loaded with three Abyss Cores: Groundsurge, Critical Rate I, and Attack Speed I, giving it immediate combat value straight out of the chest.

Obtaining the Acria Sword requires solving a multi-step puzzle inside Stellen Manor, a location perched above Drake's Vault Gorge. The reward matches the effort. With 19 Attack, Level 2 Critical Rate, and three powerful pre-installed cores, this sword competes with late-game options while being accessible during the mid-game. Its sell price of 10.97 Silver Coins also reflects its high quality.

How to Obtain

The Acria Sword is found inside Stellen Manor, hidden behind a secret room that requires solving a strongbox puzzle. The manor sits above Drake's Vault Gorge. To unlock the secret room, follow these steps:

1. Enter the manor through the middle window.

2. Open the large door in front of you. This triggers a mechanism that shifts the bookshelf.

3. Solve the strongbox puzzle lock using the sequence: bottom row positions 1, 3, 4, 2, 1, 3, 4.

4. Rotate the wardrobe wheel and retrieve the book from the lowered table.

5. Place the book on the bookshelf to open the secret door at the back of the room.

The Acria Sword waits inside the hidden room. The weapon cannot be purchased from merchants or crafted at a Blacksmith.

Refinement and Upgrades

The Acria Sword supports up to 10 levels of refinement at any Blacksmith. With 19 base Attack Power, each refinement level pushes the sword's damage output further into the top tier of one-handed weapons. The Level 2 Critical Rate bonus is preserved through refinement, so the sword only becomes more effective as you invest resources.

The three Abyss Core slots come pre-filled with Groundsurge, Critical Rate I, and Attack Speed I. Players can keep this configuration or swap cores at a Witch vendor. Since the sword already has a strong Critical Rate baseline, some players prefer replacing the Critical Rate I core with a raw damage or elemental core to diversify the stat spread.

Combat Tips

The Level 2 Critical Rate bonus means the Acria Sword lands critical hits more often than most one-handed weapons. Combine this with the pre-installed Attack Speed I core and each combat encounter turns into a flurry of fast, high-damage swings. The Groundsurge core adds an area-of-effect component, punishing enemies that cluster around Kliff.

For players who want to maximize the crit-focused design, stacking additional Critical Damage through armor or accessories amplifies each critical strike. The Acria Sword also pairs well with an aggressive dual-wield setup; its fast attack speed and high crit rate make it an excellent main-hand weapon alongside a heavier off-hand mace or axe for stagger potential.
