Overview
Elowen is the Witch of Wisdom, a powerful and ancient figure who resides in the Hernand region. She has watched over Pywel's providence since ancient times, and unfathomable wisdom dwells within her eyes. She occasionally changes her form to offer guidance to those in need and spends her leisure time in her flower-ringed cottage.
Elowen is the second witch players encounter in Crimson Desert and provides advanced services related to Abyss Gear. Unlike Sylvia, the first witch, Elowen can also craft Abyss Gears from recipes and sells Abyss-related items.
Location
Elowen's home, known as the Witch's House, is located in The Witchwoods, west of the Hernand Highlands and slightly north of the quest marker. The cottage is surrounded by a ring of flowers. Players must complete a specific quest chain before they can access her services.
How to Unlock
Elowen becomes available after the first boss fight in Chapter 5. Following that battle, a white bird carrying a letter will land on Kliff's shoulder. Reading the Unsealed Letter from your inventory unlocks The Missing Seal quest, which is listed under Journal > Faction Quests > Witches (Hernand section, red icon).
Tracking the quest leads to a small farmstead being raided by bandits. After clearing all enemies from the area, enter the main house through a hole on top of the roof to rescue a tied NPC inside. This NPC turns out to be Elowen herself. She will then invite Kliff to her abode in The Witchwoods, where her full services become available.

Lore
Elowen is described as an ancient being who has existed since long before the events of the game. Her wisdom is said to be unfathomable, and she has watched over the continent of Pywel's providence for ages. Despite her immense power and age, she presents herself in a relatively modest manner, living in a flower-ringed cottage rather than a grand fortress.
She is affiliated with the broader faction known as The Continent of Pywel, suggesting her interests and responsibilities extend far beyond the Hernand region. Her connection to the Abyss and its artifacts indicates she possesses deep knowledge of the mystical forces at work in the world.
Tips
Visit Elowen regularly to purchase Core Blueprints, as these allow you to craft your own Abyss Gears rather than relying solely on drops.
The Abyss Artifact she sells for 285 Silver is expensive but valuable for progressing your Abyss Gear setup.
Bring empty equipment sockets to Elowen before attempting to embed Abyss Gears. Use her Create Socket service first if needed.
