The Gate of War

Overview

The Gate of War is a main quest in Crimson Desert and the second mission of Chapter 10: Counterattack, falling under the Secret Weapon sub-chapter. The journey to Delesyia passes through contested territory where enemy forces have established checkpoints and patrols. Kliff and his team must fight through these obstacles to reach the Gorthak Ironworks.

Quest Details

Key Objectives

• Travel south toward the Delesyia border. The route passes through the southern Demeniss borderlands. Follow the road until you reach a heavily fortified checkpoint blocking the main passage into Delesyia.

• Clear the checkpoint. The checkpoint is defended by approximately 15 to 20 soldiers in two groups. Eliminate the outer patrol first to prevent being flanked, then assault the gate defenders.

• Open the gate mechanism. After clearing the soldiers, interact with the gate winch on the right side of the fortification. A short animation shows Kliff raising the portcullis.

• Survive the ambush. As you pass through the gate, a second wave of enemies attacks from behind. Damiane and Oongka fight alongside you during this encounter, helping thin the enemy numbers.

• Continue into Delesyia. After defeating the ambush, the road opens into the Delesyia landscape. The terrain shifts from the dense forests of Demeniss to a more open, industrialized environment.

Notes

• Use area-of-effect weapon skills to handle groups efficiently during the checkpoint fight.

• Damiane and Oongka cannot be killed during this sequence, so let them draw aggro while you flank enemies.

• A fast travel point activates at the gate after clearing it, which saves considerable backtracking later.
