55 Sighting of the Black Lion is a rare creature sighting item in Crimson Desert. These items contain information about rare and legendary creature encounters, which can be purchased from NPCs to unlock related knowledge or tracking quests. Meeting its gaze was a mistake. I couldn't tear my eyes away from those red pupils. When I came to, I was lying on the ground, and the lion was gone.

1414 Connection to the Legendary Hunter Quest Chain
1515  
1616 Sighting of the Black Lion is the lore entry associated with the Legendary Hunter side quest line, which is the narrative track that leads Kliff to the Black Lion hunt in the Hernand region. Collecting or reading the sighting is a flavour companion to the quest chain rather than a direct unlock, but it fits into the same storyline about tracking the legendary beast through the forest.

1818 How the Quest Chain Unlocks
1919  
2020 The Legendary Hunter chain only becomes available after a longer prerequisite path. Players must first free Velkom Outpost and sleep at Hernand to trigger a bounty flyer for Haldin. After defeating Haldin, a follow-up quest sends Kliff to defeat Gwen. Completing Gwen opens the Legendary Hunter quest-giver at the entrance of Lioncrest Manor, who starts the chain that ends at the Black Lion hunt.

2222 Earning Hunter Trust with Gifts
2323  
2424 Along the way, two hunter NPCs must be brought to maximum trust before they share information. The first is satisfied by gifting two pieces of leather, which jumps his trust straight to 100. The second requires two wine bottles for the same effect. Only after both hunters share their information does the game reveal the Black Lion's location on the world map.

2626 Tracking and the Final Fight
2727  
2828 At the marked location, examine the scattered bodies to pick up the trail, then use your lantern to track the scent to the Black Lion's current position. The encounter pits Kliff against the lion alongside a pack of companion wolves, which can be a demanding fight if your gear is under-levelled for the chapter.

3030 Reward: Black Lion Earring
3131  
3232 Defeating the Black Lion and skinning the corpse rewards the Black Lion Earring, one of only two earrings in Crimson Desert that reach +4 Movement Speed at maximum refinement. Because earring stats apply globally to Kliff, the Black Lion Earring is considered a permanent foundation accessory. Pairing it with the Witch's Earring delivers the full 8 baseline Movement Speed setup recommended in the Best Accessories Guide and used as the earring slot foundation in the Boss Slayer Build Guide.
