Players can equip up to two earrings at once, and pairing the Witch's Earring with the Ancient Earring provides both earring slots with Defense, Movement Speed, and Health Regeneration.88Stats1010AttributeValueTypeEarringDefense+2Attack0Move SpeedLv.1Health Regen+0.2 per secondMax Refinement101212The stats are identical to the Ancient Earring.

Before heading there, make sure to bring a mask for stealing, as you will need it to collect the earring after solving the puzzle.2525The Southern Court entrance is guarded, so head around to the back of the building.

This mystical energy absorbs external impacts, helping protect the wearer."3535South Window Entry Route3737Community testing has confirmed the fastest route into the Southern Court strongbox room. Use this walkthrough if the front entrance is still guarded or you want to minimise your exposure to hostile NPCs.3939Approach from the Southwest of Demeniss40+Approach From the Southwest of Demeniss4141On the world map, the Southern Court sits southwest of Demeniss. From the nearest travel point, head to the south side of the building. You are looking for the closest window along the south face, which is the entry point the video route uses.4343Window, Double Doors, and Strongbox4545Open the south-facing window and climb inside. From the window, head straight ahead through a set of double doors, which opens into the room that contains the strongbox. No detours or side paths are needed on this route. The strongbox sits directly ahead of the door frame.4747The Easiest Puzzle in the Game4949The Southern Court strongbox uses a simple picture puzzle that is widely regarded as the easiest strongbox puzzle in Crimson Desert. Rearrange the scrambled picture tiles until the image matches the intended scene, then open the box to collect the Witch's Earring. Remember to equip a mask before opening the box so you do not take a reputation hit.5151Role in Foundation Accessory Builds5353At maximum refinement, the Witch's Earring provides +4 Movement Speed alongside its defence and health regen values. Movement Speed from earrings applies globally to Kliff at all times, not just when equipping a specific weapon, which is why earrings are treated as foundation accessory slots rather than situational upgrades. Paired with the Black Lion Earring, which also caps at +4 Movement Speed, the combination gives Kliff a permanent 8 baseline Movement Speed value that covers traversal, combat repositioning, and dodge follow-up movement. The Best Accessories Guide recommends this exact pair as the locked-in earring foundation for any character setup because no other earring combination reaches the same cap.5555Notes5757The Witch's Earring shares identical base stats with the Ancient Earring, both offering +2 Defense, Move Speed Lv.1, and +0.2 Health Regen per second.Found in the Demeniss region's Southern Court, one of several strongboxes in that area.Despite sharing a name with the Witch's Earring from Black Desert Online, this is a distinct Crimson Desert item with different stats and acquisition.See Strongbox Puzzle Locations and Solutions for the complete puzzle solution.
