33 Overview
44  
55 Painted Cavern is a Memory Fragment collectible in Crimson Desert. Its in-game item text describes it as "a memory fragment of an incident at the Painted Cavern". Reading the fragment requires the Visione helmet obtained during Chapter 2, and locating it in the world uses the Lantern to pick up the blue pulse that signals a nearby memory.

77 This article covers the fragment as a collectible and lore marker. It is not a weapon, armor piece, recipe ingredient, healing consumable, or trade good. The verified entry lists the memory subject and confirms the role as a memory marker, but it does not list a sell price, combat stat, crafting output, or vendor stock line. The fragment is tied to the Painted Cavern site; the live entry does not yet confirm the exact pickup point inside the cave system or the specific incident depicted.

1616 How to Find and View

1818 All Memory Fragments use the same field workflow. Equip the Lantern (L1 or LB on controller, or Ctrl on keyboard) and walk through the suspected area. When the lantern glow turns blue and pulses, the marker is within range. Move toward the strongest reaction and hold the lantern raised until the "Learning in Progress" bar fills. Once the bar completes, the fragment is recorded and can be replayed at any time.

2020 From horseback or across an open field, the Blinding Flash beam (Ctrl plus Left Mouse Button on PC, or LB plus RB on controller) covers a longer detection range than the standard lantern glow. After recording the fragment, equip the Visione to replay the scene. The quick-menu replaces the menu button with a "View Fragment" prompt right after pickup, so the new memory can be played without scrolling the full list in the armor tab or inventory.

2222 Route Notes
2323  
2424 Treat Painted Cavern as a one-count checklist target while sweeping nearby locations. Group this fragment with neighbouring Memory Fragments in the same visible region or landmark cluster before riding off to distant objectives. The pulse covers a short radius, so circling the suspected pickup with the lantern raised is more reliable than approaching from a single direction.

2626 Keep the page narrow until more data is confirmed in the current build. Do not add enemy drops, puzzle answers, quest prerequisites, or exact coordinates here. If a later route pass confirms a floor level, landmark, locked-room requirement, nearby fast travel point, or scan target, add that concrete placement detail to this article and keep the broader area history on the relevant locations page rather than restating it here.
