Revision 4

Overview

Brimstone is a rare alchemy material in Crimson Desert, highly valued for its use in gunpowder production and alchemical recipes. Its high concentration of sulfurous fumes makes both mining and transport dangerous. Brimstone is found at sulfur pools in the Hexe Sanctuary area, and even locating the deposit is a challenge in itself.

Where to Find

Brimstone is gathered from sulfur pools and gas vents in the Hexe Sanctuary area of the Hernand region. Look for areas that resemble sulfur pools with vents of gas releasing from the ground. The springs are also visited during the main quest Pursuit Beyond the Veil, where you must destroy totems at the site. Be aware that depending on your story progress, the area may be populated with enemies.

Farming Methods

There are two methods for farming Brimstone at the Hexe Sanctuary. Both can be used during the same visit for maximum yield.

Method 1: Kill Abyss Creatures

Hidden abyss creatures disguise themselves as rocks near the sulfur pools. They reveal themselves when approached and spew water. Attack them with moves like Turning Slash and Forward Slash to defeat them quickly. Each creature drops approximately 2 Brimstone. After clearing the area, fast travel to a nearby point and return to respawn the creatures. This method is simple and repeatable.

Method 2: Block Gas Vents with Nature's Snare

This method uses the Nature's Snare ability and yields more Brimstone per cycle (roughly 4 to 5 extra) but requires more setup:

1. Switch your Nature's Snare ability to the healing version by clicking in the thumbstick. The standard version will not work for this technique.

2. Charge and aim your Force Palm at each gas vent to block it. A small palm leaf icon will appear on the vent when it is successfully sealed, and gas will stop coming out.

3. After blocking all surrounding vents, use Nature's Snare on the final remaining vent.

4. This triggers a much larger release of gas from that vent. Wait for the gas cloud to settle.

5. A bright glowing orb will appear in the vent. Unleash your ability on the orb to convert it into Brimstone, yielding 4 to 5 pieces.

Uses

Brimstone is a key ingredient in several valuable alchemy recipes:

Tips

• Farm Brimstone and Mercury in the same trip at the Hexe Sanctuary, since both materials are found in the area.

• The abyss creature method is faster for quick runs. The vent blocking method yields more Brimstone per cycle but takes longer to set up.

• If you are completing the Pursuit Beyond the Veil quest, gather Brimstone while you are at the springs.

• Stockpile Brimstone alongside Mercury and Silver Ore for mass Gold Bar production.

• The total Brimstone needed for one Platinum (including its Gold Bar ingredient) is 7: 3 for the Gold Bar and 4 for the Platinum recipe itself.
