The Garden of Trials is a combat challenge added to Crimson Desert by the Charting the Unknown expansion, which launched on October 29, 2026 together with patch 2.04.00. It requires the expansion and becomes available after you complete "Journey's End", the finale of the main story (see Epilogue: Journey's End Walkthrough).
Location
The Garden of Trials is located near the Axiom Archive in The Abyss. You reach it by heading past the Archive's main building, and a cutscene with the White Raven points the way.
How It Works
The challenge is split into 10 groups. Each group is a series of bosses you have already encountered elsewhere, fought one after another. Completing a group enhances one of your existing skills.
