11Overview2233Preparations for Advance is the 113th main quest in Crimson Desert and the sixth mission in the To Demeniss sub-chapter of Chapter 8: Blood Coronation. Turncoats have taken control of Thornbriar Fortress, and you can hear the sounds of combat echoing from within its walls. This short quest sends Kliff to the soldier camp to meet with the commanding officer before the assault begins. While the quest itself is brief, it is your last opportunity to prepare before a grueling sequence of combat encounters.4455Quest Details667788DetailInfoQuest Number113Chapter8: Blood CoronationSub-ChapterTo DemenissRegionHernandTypeDialoguePrerequisiteResolve Amidst a StormRewardsNone99Critical Preparation10101111Do not trigger this quest's cutscene until you are fully prepared.

Equip it if you have it.Make sure the Nature's Echo green skill is equipped if available.
