The Crow's Warning

Quest Details

Overview

The Crow's Warning is a short combat quest in Chapter 5 of Crimson Desert. Kliff investigates leads about the mysterious crow-like man who raided the Axiom Archive. The man knows details about the Greymanes and has a clear hostility toward them. Tracking his movements leads to an ambush near Hernand.

Walkthrough

Gather Clues on the Crow in Hernand

Follow the quest marker to a house slightly south of Hernand town. A cutscene plays when you approach the building, providing information about the Crow's movements and his lethal intent.

Defeat the Ambush

Immediately after the cutscene, enemies attack. This is a standard combat encounter with no special mechanics. Clear all hostiles to complete the quest. The enemies are not particularly tough compared to what you have faced recently, so standard melee combos should be enough.

Story Context

The Crow's Warning gets its name from the threat the feathered man delivers. He is not hiding; he wants the Greymanes to know he is coming. The quest paints him as a calculated enemy rather than a random attacker. His trail leads south toward Demeniss, setting up the next quest, Bloodwind, where Kliff finally catches up with him.

Tips

• This is a quick quest. The ambush fight is straightforward, so you should not need special preparation.

• If you want to explore the house area for loot after the fight, take a moment to look around before moving to the next quest marker.

Tips and Strategies

• Save your progress before starting this quest, especially if you are playing on a higher difficulty setting.

• Pay attention to NPC dialogue and environmental clues during investigation sequences. Missing details can make later encounters more difficult.
