11Overview22Barry (also known as Bari), the Witch of Kindness, is one of five witches in Crimson Desert. She is the first witch that requires players to go off the beaten path to find, as she is not part of any main quest line. Barry is particularly valuable for her Swift blueprint, which increases attack speed so dramatically that a fully upgraded level 3 version makes two-handed greatsword attacks feel as fast as swinging a rapier.55Quick Facts77DetailInfoNameBarry (Bari)TitleWitch of KindnessHidden FormWoman shivering under a tarpHidden LocationNear Silverwolf Mine, southeast of Waywood Woods, north of HernandTrue HomeCabin on a lake, just south of Silverwolf MountainSanctum RegionPailune and HernandNumber of Sanctums4Key BlueprintsSwift (attack speed), Ascent (climb speed)99How to Find Barry1010Barry's hidden form is a woman shivering and freezing under a tarp near Silverwolf Mine. The mine is located southeast of Waywood Woods and north of Hernand. Unlike Elo who is found through the main quest, Barry requires you to explore on your own. No quest or NPC points you in her direction.1212Step-by-Step Directions1414Travel north of Hernand toward the Silverwolf Mine area, southeast of Waywood Woods.Look for a woman huddled under a tarp.

Completing the full quest chain unlocks the following rewards:5555Cleansing the Sanctum of Deliverance unlocks the blueprint for Kuku Flame Resistant Armor.Solving the blinding flash puzzle inside the cleansed Sanctum of Deliverance gives the Core of Deliverance, a required crafting material for that armor.Cleansing the Sanctum of Atonement and activating its abyss puzzle gives the blueprint for the Kuku Watcher Pack.5757Armor and Pack Blueprints5959Because a single witch questline gates both the armor and the Watchers pack used by the end-game build, players following that build should prioritize the Witch of Kindness over other witch quests once the required sanctums become accessible. Missing the blinding flash puzzle in particular is the single most common cause of being unable to complete the Kuku Flame Resistant Armor craft, so make the puzzle part of the cleanse visit rather than a later return trip.
