Preparations 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.

Do not trigger this quest's cutscene until you are fully prepared. The next two missions (Rebel Suppression and The Cursed Knight) form a continuous combat sequence with no rest opportunities between them.
Item | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
200+ | Hunt animals, buy from vendors in Hernand/Pailune, cook at pots | |
Higher-quality cooked food | As much as possible |
Each Grilled Meat restores roughly 80 health. The siege battle alone will consume a significant portion of your supply, and the Cursed Knight boss fight immediately follows with no chance to restock. Err on the side of bringing too much.
Upgrade your weapons and armor to the highest refinement level available. Level 4 or higher is recommended.
The Tauria Curved Sword (obtained from Crowcaller in Chapter 5) with heavy attacks is effective in the upcoming siege. Equip it if you have it.
Make sure the Nature's Echo green skill is equipped if available. It duplicates heavy attack strikes, which helps with both crowd control in the siege and boss damage.
Travel to the soldier camp. Follow the quest marker to the camp outside Thornbriar Fortress.
Approach the white tent. Walk toward the large white tent at the center of the camp. A cutscene triggers automatically, and the commanding officer briefs you on the siege plan.
The quest completes after the cutscene, and the Rebel Suppression siege battle begins immediately.
This is your absolute last chance to buy supplies, cook food, and upgrade gear before the extended combat sequence.
If you run low on healing items during the siege or boss fight, you will struggle severely. The investment of a few extra minutes gathering supplies here saves considerable frustration.
There is a cooking pot near the Hernand vendor. Fast travel there, buy meat, cook it, and return.
