Wings of Iron

Wings of Iron is a faction quest in Crimson Desert, part of The Witch of Kindness quest series. Listed in the Journal under Faction Quests > Hernand > Witches, this quest tasks players with crafting the Abyssal Fusion and equipping the Abyssal Dragon Armor onto Blackstar. The quest becomes available after completing Chapter 11 and obtaining Blackstar as a dragon mount.

Quest Details

Prerequisites

Before the Wings of Iron quest appears in your Journal, you must meet the following conditions:

• Complete Chapter 11 and defeat the Golden Star boss to unlock Blackstar as your dragon mount.

• Progress Witch side quests involving NPCs such as Elowen and Araciel to unlock the associated Sanctum questline.

• Obtain a Kuku Iron Pot from Kilnden Workshop. You should craft at least two pots, since one is consumed during the crafting process.

Walkthrough

The quest objective reads "Decipher the records analyzed by the Witches," which can seem vague at first. In practice, it involves a multi-step crafting process followed by a trip to the Abyss.

Step 1: Collect the Small Kuku ATAG Blueprint

Travel to Gorthak in northwest Delesyia. Find the NPC Marek at the Zargan Tankworks (west of Gorthak) and collect the ATAG Mech blueprints he offers. Reading the blueprint permanently teaches you the Small Kuku ATAG recipe.

Step 2: Craft the Small Kuku ATAG

Return to Grimnir's Kuku Shop at Kilnden Workshop in Hernand. Use the following materials to craft the Small Kuku ATAG:

Important: The Kuku Pot is consumed during crafting. If you have Abyss items stored inside it, move them to a spare pot before proceeding.

Step 3: Gather the Remaining Materials

With the Small Kuku ATAG in hand, you still need three more components to assemble the Abyssal Fusion:

Step 4: Craft the Abyssal Fusion

Once all four components are gathered (Small Kuku ATAG, Golden Star's Component, Aeserion's Scales, and Power Core - Ore of Resipiscence), return to Grimnir's Kuku Shop at Kilnden Workshop. Speak with Grimnir and select the Abyssal Fusion recipe to craft the armor.

Step 5: Equip the Armor at the Nest of Valor

After crafting, track the Wings of Iron quest in your Journal and travel to the Nest of Valor. This is a floating Abyss island located above the Dry Valley, the same location visited during the Chapter 9 boss fight against Goyen. Approach the quest marker to trigger a cutscene: the armor mechanism wraps around Blackstar in an elaborate transformation sequence, and Kliff mounts the newly armored dragon.

Completion

Blackstar, now clad in the Abyssal Dragon Armor, spreads its giant wings toward the skies. The visual upgrade is permanent and cannot be removed. While the armor increases Blackstar's damage resistance during air combat and liberation missions, it does not improve flight speed, extend flight duration, or reduce the 50-minute cooldown between summons.

Rewards

Tips

• Craft at least two or three Kuku Pots before starting this quest. One pot is consumed during the Small Kuku ATAG crafting step, so you will lose any Abyss items stored inside it.

• Cogwheels and Small Batteries both drop from the same mechanical enemies in Delesyia, so you can farm them together in a single trip.

• The Serpent Shrine typically yields around 50 Aeserion's Scales per visit, so a single trip should be enough.

• Completing faction quests increases your reputation with the local faction, unlocking access to better vendors and rewards.
