Overview
Demeniss Commissions are a category of Faction Quests in Crimson Desert given by various NPCs in the Kingdom of Demeniss. Similar to Hernand Commissions, these quests involve helping local residents with tasks ranging from resource gathering and item delivery to investigation and problem-solving. The Demeniss region operates its own independent Contribution system, meaning reputation earned here is tracked separately from Hernand and other regions.
According to Beebom's quest catalogue, the Demeniss region contains 54 commission quests and 5 politics quests, totaling 59 faction quests. This makes Demeniss the largest faction quest region in the game, surpassing Hernand's combined total. The commissions become available as the main story progresses into Chapter 5 and beyond, when Kliff first travels to Demeniss as part of the Demenissian Delegation quest.

Commission Structure
Demeniss Commissions follow the same basic format as Hernand Commissions: speak with an NPC who has a problem, complete the task, and return for your reward. However, Demeniss commissions tend to reflect the region's more political and militaristic character. While Hernand commissions often involve tradespeople and shopkeepers, Demeniss commissions frequently involve nobles, soldiers, monks, and court functionaries.
Common commission types in Demeniss include:
Resource Gathering: Collecting specific ingredients, herbs, or materials for NPCs. The region's terrain introduces unique gathering challenges compared to Hernand.
Delivery and Escort: Transporting goods or accompanying NPCs between locations within the Demeniss territory.
Investigation: Examining evidence, questioning witnesses, or uncovering political conspiracies involving the kingdom's power vacuum.
Combat: Eliminating threats, clearing enemy strongholds, or dealing with dangerous creatures in the Demeniss wilderness.
Diplomacy: Mediating disputes between rival factions within Demeniss, reflecting the kingdom's fractured political landscape.
Confirmed Quests
Below is a list of confirmed Demeniss commission and politics quests. With 59 total faction quests in the region, this list will be expanded as community documentation continues.
Commissions
Quest | Description | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
Mushrooms Growing Among Poisons | An NPC in the Demeniss region needs help dealing with a situation involving poisonous fungi. Investigate the source of the toxic mushrooms and resolve the problem. | Pending confirmation |
A young monk at one of Demeniss' religious establishments seeks Kliff's help with a task related to the monastery. | Pending confirmation |
The remaining 52 commissions follow similar patterns but are spread across the city of Demeniss, its castle, outlying settlements, and religious institutions. Each commission rewards Demeniss Contribution and typically includes inventory items or crafting materials.
Politics Quests
Demeniss Politics quests are a separate subcategory of 5 quests focused on the power struggles within the kingdom. With the King of Demeniss lying in a coma, various factions within the kingdom are vying for control. These quests place Kliff in the middle of inter-faction disputes involving noble houses, military commanders, and political operatives.
Quest | Description | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
Deathchime | A quest connected to House Wells. Investigate a matter that has drawn the attention of the Duke's household. | Pending confirmation |
The remaining 4 politics quests are expected to involve similar themes of court intrigue, succession disputes, and military posturing tied to the power vacuum left by the absent king.
Demeniss Contribution System
The Contribution system in Demeniss works independently from other regions. You can be a beloved hero in Hernand and a despised criminal in Demeniss simultaneously. Each region tracks your actions on its own, and the consequences (positive or negative) are localized.
Contribution is earned by completing commissions, politics quests, liberating strongholds, freeing captives, and giving alms to beggars. It is lost through criminal activity: theft costs 5 points, while assault and murder cost substantially more.
Each Contribution level requires 100 points. As your level rises, higher tiers of gear become available at the region's Contribution shops.
Demeniss Contribution Shops
Unlike Hernand, which concentrates its Contribution vendor in the castle, Demeniss spreads its rewards across three separate shops:
Shop Location | Access Details | Inventory Type |
|---|---|---|
Demeniss Castle (Interior) | The main shop is inside the castle. However, the guards will not let you enter through the front gate. You must climb the battlements from the outside, then jump down into the courtyard. The vendor is on the second floor of the castle building. | High-tier armor and accessories |
Demeniss City (Lower) | Located in the lower city district, accessible without any special requirements. | Mid-tier equipment and consumables |
Demeniss City (Upper) | Located in the upper city area near the administrative buildings. | Horse gear and specialized items |
The castle shop is particularly noteworthy because reaching it requires parkour. This has been confirmed by multiple guides, including NeonLightsMedia's reputation guide, which describes the approach as requiring 'serious acrobatics' to scale the battlements.
Comparison to Hernand Commissions
Players who have already completed Hernand Commissions will find Demeniss Commissions familiar in structure but different in scope and setting.
Aspect | Hernand Commissions | Demeniss Commissions |
|---|---|---|
Total Quests | 13 commissions + 4 requests + 2 politics | 54 commissions + 5 politics |
Quest Givers | Shopkeepers, craftsmen, traders | Nobles, soldiers, monks, court functionaries |
Tone | Small-town errands and trade tasks | Political intrigue, military matters, religious tasks |
Contribution Shops | 1 shop in Hernand Castle | 3 shops across the city and castle |
Access Requirement | Available from early game | Reach Demeniss in Chapter 5 |
Common Rewards | Medium Bags (+3 inventory slots), crafting materials | Contribution, crafting materials, equipment |
How to Access
Demeniss Commissions become available when the main story takes Kliff to the Kingdom of Demeniss during Chapter 5. The Demenissian Delegation quest serves as the entry point. Once Kliff arrives in Demeniss, NPC quest markers begin appearing throughout the city and surrounding areas.
Prerequisite: Complete enough of the main story to reach Chapter 5 and the Demenissian Delegation quest.
Explore the full city: Commission givers are spread across multiple districts. Check the lower city, upper city, castle exterior, and religious buildings.
Return often: New commissions may appear as the story progresses or as you complete existing ones.
Tips
Plan your castle approach. The Contribution shop inside Demeniss Castle requires climbing the outside battlements and dropping into the courtyard. Scout the climbing route before attempting it with a full inventory.
Balance commissions across regions. Since Contribution is tracked per region, spending all your time in Demeniss means your Hernand or Pailune reputation stays flat. Alternate between regions if you want broad access to all Contribution shops.
Watch for politics quests. The 5 politics quests in Demeniss deal with the kingdom's power struggle and are among the most narratively rich side content in the game. Do not skip them.
Commissions expand your inventory. Like Hernand Commissions, some Demeniss commissions reward inventory expansion tools. Completing these early gives more storage space for the rest of the game.
Avoid crime in Demeniss. Theft costs 5 Contribution points and murder costs much more. Criminal actions in Demeniss only affect your Demeniss Contribution, but rebuilding a damaged reputation takes many completed quests.
Use commissions to fund other activities. Material rewards from Demeniss commissions can be sold or used for crafting. Treat commissions as a steady income source while exploring the region.
