11Overview22Glenbright Manor is the heart of Count Grace's estate, serving as the administrative hub for the surrounding towns. Located on Howling Hill in the Hernand region, the manor frequently hosts events showing unique local crafts. Persistent rumors speak of an ancient secret space hidden beneath the building. Players visit the manor during the Traces in the Manor main quest (Mission 37) in Chapter 3, where they must solve a Golden Dagger puzzle to unlock the basement and uncover critical story information.44Location77The manor sits on Howling Hill in the Hernand region, near the Greymane Camp. The nearby Glenbright Farm provides agricultural goods to the estate. Players will encounter the manor during Chapter 3's "The Face Behind the Mask" sub-chapter after completing the Return quest.99Golden Dagger Puzzle1111The manor's signature challenge involves finding two ceremonial daggers and using them to unlock a secret passage. Upon entering, five guards ambush the player in the entrance hall. After defeating them and ascending the right staircase, the puzzle begins.1313Step 1: Ruby-Hilted Golden Dagger1515At the top of the stairs, look for a wall-mounted stand on the left. The Ruby-Hilted Golden Dagger can simply be picked up from this display.1717Step 2: Sapphire-Hilted Golden Dagger1919Continue along the upper corridor and find a wardrobe (cabinet) to the left of a marble statue. Open the wardrobe to reveal a handwheel inside. Turn the handwheel to the right until the light from the chandelier shines directly onto the crystal held by the marble statue. When the crystal glows, a hidden compartment in the wall to the left opens, revealing the Sapphire-Hilted Golden Dagger.2222Step 3: Unlocking the Secret Room2424Proceed to the main study, a large room with a fireplace and a desk. Above the fireplace are two slots corresponding to the two daggers. Place both the Ruby-Hilted and Sapphire-Hilted Golden Daggers into the slots. The bookcase to the right of the fireplace slides open, revealing a hidden room with a ladder leading down to the basement.2626Basement2828The secret basement contains several valuables: red dye, a couple of strongboxes, and the Cloudcart Blueprint key item. A band of Reed Devil enemies ambush the player upon entry. After clearing them, search the area thoroughly before proceeding.3030Notable Items3232ItemLocationRuby-Hilted Golden DaggerWall stand at the top of the main staircase.Sapphire-Hilted Golden DaggerHidden wall compartment unlocked by the chandelier-and-statue puzzle.Grace Manor Basement KeyBehind a painting of two knights on horseback at the base of the staircase.Grace Manor Iron Door KeyFound during investigation of the manor interior.Cloudcart BlueprintSecret basement, after defeating Reed Devil enemies.Two-Handed Weapons Crafting BookInterior room during the investigation.3434Notable NPCs3636NPCDetailsWounded ServantFound sitting in the corner of an upstairs room.

The trail ends at a field of reeds near a charred tree, where the full Reed Devil boss fight begins. This is the first major boss encounter in Crimson Desert and has a multi-phase battle, including a phase where the Reed Devil creates multiple copies of itself. Destroying five scarecrows scattered across the arena depletes the boss's health circles.4141Tips4343Check the painting of two knights on horseback at the staircase base before going upstairs.
