Pailune Interactive Map – Crimson Desert

by

Okay, so Pywel is HUGE. Seriously, I’m talking a massive world packed with secrets, enemy hideouts, and tons of stuff to collect. It’s split into five different regions, and each one feels totally unique – they’ve got their own landscapes and storylines to follow. It’s awesome!

Pailune used to be the territory of the Greymanes, but the Black Bears clan has taken over. In Chapter 7 of the game, you’ll lead your team through Pailune to take it back. Check out the map below to discover special quests, challenging bosses, and everything else the area has to offer.

Navigating Pywel

Crimson Desert is a huge game that doesn’t offer much guidance, so exploring the world of Pywel can be tricky at first. Our interactive map has many different filters, so here’s a quick rundown of the most useful ones.

Belltowers

In Crimson Desert, finding and ringing belltowers is a quick way to explore the world. Each belltower you activate removes the fog of war, showing you important locations nearby. When you begin playing, it’s a good idea to prioritize finding these towers to uncover as much of the map as you can.

Abyss Nexus

You can quickly travel around the world using the Abyss Nexus, which are circular platforms hidden throughout the game. Most of these platforms are located in the Pywel region and appear on your map as “Mysterious Energy.” Simply stand on a platform for a few seconds to activate it, and then you can instantly travel to that location whenever you like.

You can find Abyss Nexus plates within the Abyss, a collection of floating islands you’ll return to several times throughout the game.

You can switch to the Abyss map view by pressing the L3 button on your controller or scrolling with the mouse wheel on a keyboard and mouse.

Abyss Artifacts

Throughout the world of Pywel, you’ll find Abyss Artifacts – small, cube-shaped items that let you improve your character. Use them to boost your stats, learn new abilities, or make your best equipment even better. Collecting as many as you can is a great idea!

There are three ways of obtaining Abyss Artifacts:

  1. Complete quests and defeat enemies.
  2. Find Sealed Abyss Artifacts and complete their respective challenge.
  3. Activate an Abyss Cresset.

Important Vendors

Crimson Desert features more than a dozen different kinds of vendors, and their names usually tell you what they sell or do. However, some merchants are surprisingly useful and play a bigger role than you might think.

  • Blacksmith: Vendors that can upgrade your weapons, armor, and jewelry.
  • Confessional: Allows you to pay off criminal bounties.
  • Stable: Offers equipment upgrades for your mount.
  • Witch: Craft and socket Abyss Cores into your gear. Abyss Cores offer powerful passive traits to your character.
    • Witches become accessible from Chapter 5 onward.

Points of Interest

Pywel offers more than just farms and old buildings to explore. As you play through Crimson Desert, you’ll encounter a wide variety of different places.

  • Sanctum: A difficult puzzle you can complete for rewards. Most sanctums are locked behind story progression.
  • Spire: A platforming, puzzle, and/or boss challenge. Some are tied to the main story, but you’ll have to find most on your own.
  • Outpost: Territory held by a particular faction.
    • On our interactive map, blue outposts are friendly; red outposts are enemy territory you must capture.
