In-Game Description
"A key that unlocks the crane control room's door. For safety reasons, access is restricted to authorized personnel only."
How to Obtain
The Crane Control Room Key is obtained during the Estate in Dismay faction quest, commissioned by House Roberts. This faction questline becomes available during Chapter 2 and involves liberating Karin Quarry from hostile forces.
Uses
The key grants access to the crane control room at Karin Quarry. After obtaining the key, Kliff rides a handlift up to the control room, where he operates the crane to clamp onto a large relic and pull it out of the ground. Extracting the relic exposes a hole leading to the next stage of the quest.
Related Quests
The Estate in Dismay questline for House Roberts includes multiple stages:
First Trial of Trust: Help the caretaker and defeat bandits.
Troubled Count: Speak with Count Roberts about the quarry situation.

Completing the Stolen Quarry stage rewards the Knuckledrill special equipment, which makes mining ore easier and increases ore drops by 10%.

The Crane Control Room Key cannot be sold or discarded.
Key items in Crimson Desert are preserved in inventory to prevent players from being locked out of quest progression.
Quest Connection
The Crane Control Room Key is used during the Estate in Dismay faction quest for House Roberts. This questline becomes available once Kliff arrives at the town of Hernand in Chapter 2. The quest involves liberating Karin Quarry from bandits, defeating Marni's Excavatron, and operating the crane to extract a buried relic.
The key is obtained as part of the quest progression. After clearing the bandits from Karin Quarry, an NPC provides the key so that Kliff can access the crane control room.
How to Use
With the key in hand, enter the crane control room at the top of the quarry. A handlift behind the quest-giver carries Kliff up to the control room. Once inside, operate the crane to clamp onto the relic buried in the quarry floor and pull it free, exposing a hole beneath it. This step is critical for unlocking access to an Abyss Nexus fast travel point near the quarry.
Access to the crane control room is restricted to authorized personnel for safety reasons, as noted in the in-game description.
Completing the quarry section of the Estate in Dismay quest is required to activate the fast travel point at Howling Hill.
This key is quest-specific and cannot be used elsewhere.
