Revision 4

Overview

Bounty Notice: Blix is a faction quest for House Celeste in Crimson Desert. Blix is a goblin wanted for the unauthorized looting of state-owned ruins. He was last spotted near Unicorn Cliff in the Nas Riverside and Capra Pasture areas. Unlike other Hernand bounties where the target operates alone, Blix travels with a band of goblin companions and actively tries to blend in with them to avoid detection.

This bounty becomes available upon reaching Chapter 2: Golden Greed. Bounty posters for Blix can be found on notice boards and street poles throughout the City of Hernand. Look for the purple poster icon on your minimap to locate available bounty notices.

Blix is associated with the Hornsplitter goblin faction. His hideout sits in a large mountain crevice near Unicorn Cliff, where he and his gang have set up a makeshift camp.

Walkthrough

Accepting the Bounty

Bounty posters appear on notice boards and poles throughout the City of Hernand starting in Chapter 2. On the minimap, bounty posters are marked with a purple letter icon. Interact with a Blix poster to read the notice and add the quest to your journal. You can mark the quest in your journal under the House Celeste faction tab, which will place a tracking marker on the world map showing his approximate location.

Traveling to the Area

After reading the bounty notice, head toward the Nas Riverside area southeast of Capra Pasture. The quest marker leads you toward Unicorn Cliff, near the Hornsplitter goblin territory. The terrain is hilly with scattered goblin camps throughout the area. The specific destination is a large crevice between mountains, south of the Nas River Fishing Dock and west of the Goldleaf Guildhouse in the Hernand Highlands.

Spawn Timing and Conditions

Blix does not always appear at his marked location. He has a specific spawn window and will only appear before 1:00 PM in-game time. If you arrive after that window, you will need to wait until the following in-game morning. If you arrive during the correct time window but Blix still has not spawned, rest at a nearby bonfire and wait roughly 6 to 12 in-game hours before returning to the area. Blix also may not spawn if you are standing too close to his location, so try moving away toward the river and then walking back.

If you reach the marked area before 1:00 PM and then wait past that time, Blix will remain present as long as you stay in the vicinity. The key is to arrive during the spawn window.

Identifying Blix

Inside the mountain crevice, Blix and his goblin gang will ambush you. Blix hides among his armed companions, but there is a reliable way to pick him out: Blix is the only goblin without armor or an outfit. While the rest of his gang wears gear and carries weapons, Blix appears mostly naked. You can also spot him on the minimap as a red outlaw icon, distinct from the regular enemy markers for his goblin allies.

Use the Observe function to help locate and mark Blix among the group. This highlights him and makes it easier to keep track of his position during the chaotic fight with multiple goblins.

Capturing Blix Alive

Capturing Blix alive is strongly recommended because the alive payout is double the dead reward. The general strategy involves three phases: thin out his minions, isolate Blix, and then tackle and subdue him.

Phase 1: Deal with the minions. Use ranged attacks such as bow shots to lure individual goblins away from the group. Fight them in the open ground near the river rather than inside the cramped crevice. Focus on eliminating the armed goblins first while avoiding heavy attacks directed at Blix.

Phase 2: Isolate Blix. Once the other goblins are down, Blix may try to flee. Let him run until he loses aggro and stops moving. Then crouch (press L3/LS) and approach him from behind. If he spots you and re-engages, block his attacks but avoid retaliating with full combos, since you do not want to kill him accidentally.

Phase 3: Tackle and subdue. When you are close enough behind Blix, a Tackle prompt will appear. Execute the tackle to pin him down, then use basic punches until the Tie Up prompt appears on screen. Select the tie-up option to bind Blix and complete the capture.

Transporting the Bounty

With Blix tied up, summon your horse. Walk up to the horse and use the load prompt to place Blix onto the saddle. On PlayStation, press L1 and then X near the horse; on Xbox, press LB and then A. Once loaded, you can ride freely while carrying the bounty target.

Fast travel is disabled while carrying a bounty target, so you will need to ride manually back to the City of Hernand. Plan your route accordingly and watch out for hostile encounters along the road.

Turning in the Bounty

Deliver Blix to the constabulary in the City of Hernand. The bounty icon on your minimap will guide you to Guard Antoni at the Guard Station near the west gate. Interact with the guard to hand over Blix and collect your reward.

Rewards

A Note with a Suspicious Symbol (x1) is also obtained during the capture. This item appears to be connected to a broader storyline involving the bounty targets.

Contribution EXP is the same whether the target is alive or dead, but the Silver payout is halved for a dead bounty.

Tips and Strategy

• Arrive at Blix's location before 1:00 PM in-game time to ensure he spawns. If you miss the window, rest at a bonfire and return the next morning.

• If Blix does not appear despite correct timing, move away from the crevice toward the river and then approach again. Standing too close can prevent his spawn.

• Use a bow to pull individual goblins away from the group rather than engaging the entire camp at once.

• Wearing a Mask may help you avoid triggering immediate combat, but nearby goblins can still become suspicious and attack.

• Avoid using heavy weapon combos on Blix. Stick to light punches and the tackle/punch loop to prevent accidentally killing him.

• Clear out the surrounding goblins first if you are having trouble isolating Blix during the chase.

• Remember that fast travel is disabled while carrying a bounty target. Plan a safe route back to Hernand before picking up the body.

• Completing bounties earns Hernand Contribution, which unlocks items at the Contribution Shop.
