Revision 2

Overview

The Finest Reinard Cannon is a unique spear-cannon hybrid weapon in Crimson Desert. It is the upgraded variant of the standard Rhinard Cannon, offering improved stats while retaining the same dual-purpose design that allows the wielder to fight with a spear at close range and fire cannon shots at distance. What makes this weapon stand out from other ranged weapons is that its cannon shots do not consume spirit. The weapon only draws from stamina, which means players can fire the cannon an unlimited number of times as long as they manage their stamina bar.

The weapon is hidden inside a tower located southeast of Serpent Marsh in the Delesyia region. Reaching it requires climbing, puzzle-solving, and exploration, making it one of the more rewarding finds for players who enjoy off-the-beaten-path content.

How to Obtain

The Finest Reinard Cannon is found inside a tower located to the southeast of Serpent Marsh in the Delesyia region. The tower is not marked on the map by default, so players will need to explore the area carefully to find it.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

• Locate the tower: Travel to Serpent Marsh, then head southeast until you spot a ruined tower. The tower is visible from a distance but blends into the surrounding terrain.

• Climb down inside: Rather than climbing up, the entrance requires you to climb down into the tower's interior. Look for handholds and ledges along the inner wall.

• Light the braziers: Inside the tower, you will find several braziers that need to be lit. Use a fire source (such as a torch or fire arrow) to ignite each one. Lighting all the braziers is the core puzzle mechanic.

• Pull the lever: Once every brazier is lit, a lever becomes accessible. Pull the lever to open a sealed door that leads to the treasure room.

• Collect the weapon: The Finest Reinard Cannon is inside the room behind the door, sitting in a treasure chest or weapon rack.

Combat Mechanics

The Finest Reinard Cannon functions as two weapons in one. In melee range, it handles like a standard spear with thrust attacks, sweeps, and the full spear moveset. At range, pressing R1 + Triangle (on PlayStation) or RB + Y (on Xbox) fires a cannon shot that travels in a straight line and deals heavy single-target damage.

Cannon Fire

The cannon component is what sets the Finest Reinard Cannon apart from every other spear in the game. Firing the cannon does not consume spirit at all; it only uses stamina. This means players can fire the cannon repeatedly without needing to manage a spirit resource, which is a significant advantage during prolonged fights. The cannon shot can also be chained after certain R2 attacks, allowing players to weave ranged shots into their melee combos for a fluid hybrid playstyle.

Melee Capabilities

On the melee side, the weapon retains the reach advantage that all spears offer. Players can use the Stab attack and its variations to keep enemies at the tip of the spear, then follow up with cannon shots when enemies try to create distance. The weapon works well in spear builds that emphasize counterattacking and distance control.

Comparison to the Standard Rhinard Cannon

The standard Rhinard Cannon is a craftable weapon with 13 Attack Power that requires Iron Ore x7 and Copper Ore x3. It is unlocked by reading the Two Handed Weapons of the World Vol. 1 crafting manual. The Finest Reinard Cannon improves on the base model with higher attack power and better refinement potential, while keeping the same hybrid spear-cannon functionality.

Recommended Builds

The Finest Reinard Cannon works best in builds that want a versatile weapon capable of handling both ranged and melee situations without swapping gear. The Kliff spear build is the most natural fit, using Counter Stance and Stab variations at close range while punishing enemies at distance with cannon shots.

• Spear Counter Build: Focus on counterattacking with Counter Stance and chaining Stab variations. Use the cannon to stagger enemies before closing in for melee combos.

• Ranged Hybrid Build: Pair the Finest Reinard Cannon with Abyss Cores that boost attack speed or critical rate to maximize damage output from both the spear and cannon components.

Tips

• The cannon shot staggers most normal enemies, making it useful for crowd control before engaging in melee.

• Because the cannon only costs stamina, monitor your stamina bar carefully. Running out of stamina leaves you unable to dodge or fire.

• Chain cannon shots after R2 attacks to maintain pressure without breaking your combo rhythm.

• The tower puzzle is entirely optional and has no quest marker, so explore Delesyia thoroughly to find it.
