Ritual Preparations is the 106th main quest in Crimson Desert and the third mission in the Ashen Steps sub-chapter of Chapter 8: Blood Coronation. Maegu needs three items from a shipwreck-strewn beach for a ritual to locate her kidnapped sister, Woosa. The quest combines exploration, memory investigation using the Visione Helmet, and a puzzle involving Nature's Grasp.

Clear the beach. Travel to the quest marker and defeat the enemies scattered across the area. Look for a small orange search zone on your minimap.
Use the lantern. Hold L1/LB in the center of the search area and focus on the ground. Blue ghost outlines will appear with a "Learning in Progress" notification.
Equip the Visione Helmet. Open the Options menu (bottom icon) and select "Demeniss > Memory of the Kidnapped Witches" to view the memory sequence. The helmet deactivates after the memory plays, and a new search area appears.
For a detailed breakdown of item locations, see: Retrieve the Item Maegu Requested.
Three items are scattered across the beach area. They can be collected in any order:
Item | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Talisman | Sand in front of the northern shipwreck | At the edge of the search zone. Easy to spot. |
Censer | Beneath a large wooden shipwreck | Locked door blocks normal entry. Use Nature's Grasp (Triangle + Circle / Y + B) on the wreck, then press Square/X to freeze it. Grab the Censer from underneath before the wreck drops. |
Bells | Sand at the southern edge of the beach | Along the waterline at the far southern end of the search area. |
The Censer is the trickiest item to retrieve. The shipwreck above it has a locked door, so you cannot simply walk inside. Instead, target the wreck with Nature's Grasp (Triangle + Circle / Y + B) to lift it, then immediately press Square/X to freeze it in place. While the wreck is suspended, run underneath and pick up the Censer. You can also position yourself under a hole in the hull to enter the ship from below and unlock the door from the inside. The Force Palm jump technique can also help you reach the interior through gaps.
Collecting all three items completes the quest immediately. No return trip to Maegu is needed at this point.
The beach has several groups of enemies. Clear them before searching to avoid interruptions while hunting for items.
The Visione Helmet is used again later in Chapter 8 for Whispering Shadows and The Blood Coronation, so get comfortable with the "L1/LB scan, then Options > Memory Fragment" workflow.
