The Mark of Darkness is found inside Windier Manor in the city of Deminis. The ring is locked inside a puzzle chest that requires solving a dial-matching puzzle to open.
Travel to Windier Manor in Deminis. The manor is a restricted area, so you must have a Mask equipped to enter without alerting guards.
Enter through the back of the building. The front entrance is guarded, but the rear has a breakable entry point.
Locate the puzzle chest inside the manor. The chest features a set of rotating dials that display image fragments.
Solve the puzzle by turning each dial until the image pieces align and match the complete picture. The puzzle is similar to other strongbox puzzles found throughout the game.
Open the chest to collect the Mark of Darkness ring.
The ring can be stolen (it is technically theft), so having the Mask equipped is critical. Without it, nearby NPCs will become hostile.
The Mark of Darkness is considered best in slot for the ring slot when pursuing the 15/15/15 stat benchmark. At max refinement (+10), it provides Attack Speed Lv.4, which translates to +4 Attack Speed. Paired with the Witch's Ring (+4 Attack Speed, obtained as a guaranteed drop from the Sage of the Desert during the Chapter 9 quest "Thinning Blade"), the two rings together contribute +8 Attack Speed from equipment. Three Attack Speed Abyss Cores (+3 each, but only 7 more needed) then push the total to 15.
Players who have not yet reached Windier Manor or prefer a simpler path can substitute two Tarnish Rings instead. Each Tarnish Ring provides +3 Attack Speed, giving +6 from rings alone. This requires one additional Attack Speed Abyss Core compared to the Mark of Darkness setup, but Tarnish Rings are significantly easier to obtain.
Rings in Crimson Desert primarily boost offensive stats like Attack and Attack Speed. The Mark of Darkness can be equipped alongside other accessories to build toward specific combat roles.
The Stamina regeneration bonus affects how quickly your character recovers stamina, which fuels dodging, blocking, and attacking. Faster stamina recovery means more defensive options during high-pressure combat situations.
Refinement is available up to +10, which improves both the base stats and any bonus effects. Consider investing refinement materials if you plan to keep this accessory equipped for an extended period.
