Crimson Desert Trophy Guide

Crimson Desert on PlayStation 5 has 34 trophies to earn, including 1 Platinum. Getting all of them will be a significant challenge, not because they’re difficult, but because it will take a lot of time and effort. We’ll explain why below.

Here’s a complete list of trophies for Crimson Desert, showing how many challenges are needed for each one and how to unlock them. Earning the Platinum Trophy will be a real test of your skills!

Good news for completionists like me โ€“ Crimson Desert doesn’t have any trophies you can actually miss! But getting 100% is going to be a serious grind. We’re talking 300+ hours, easily. The thing is, most achievements are tied to challenges you stumble upon while exploring the world, and there are tons of them. So you really have to explore everything to get them all!

Crimson Desert Trophy Roadmap & Guide

Achievement/Trophy Description How to Get
Novice Adventurer Complete chapter 1 of main quests. This achievement is automatically unlocked simply by playing through the Chapter 1 Main Quests, found in the Journal tab.
Master Camper Complete the activation of the camp at Howling Hill. You’ll gain access to Howling Hill in Chapter 3. It’s your main camp area with your allies, which can be upgraded through Greymane Faction Quests and Dispatch Missions.
Protector of Pailune Complete chapter 7 of main quests. This achievement is also automatically unlocked by playing the Main Quests. It might take a good chunk of hours to reach and complete Chapter 7, so we advise doing side quests during the race.
Proud Returnee Complete the camp relocation to Pailune. After Chapter 7, you can continue upgrading Howling Hill and rebuilding Pailune with Dispatch Missions until it’s time to move back into Pailune. This will take a great deal of Dispatch Missions and requires all Greymane Faction Quests to be completed.
Expert Storyteller Complete all main quests. Once you reach and complete Chapter 12, you will earn this trophy. You will not be required to complete the Epilogue that comes after.
Beast Slayer Complete all New Power challenges. There are 7 New Power challenges. These will have you fight a unique boss, but the bosses will only unlock in each region after you complete a certain number of Faction Quests.
Conqueror of Spires Complete all spire challenges. There are 8 Spires to find and climb in the open world. Most Spires are accessed naturally through the story, but you can check them on your map while in the Abyss.
Conqueror of the Abyss Complete all Abyss challenges. There are 40 Abyss Puzzles found in the Abyss, and each of them connects to one another. Simply complete one from a Spire, and continue through the chain until you’ve done all 40.

We’ve only found 4 Test of Strength and 5 Duel Challenges so far, but the others are all from Sealed Abyss Artifacts that involve Archery, Card Games, Arm Wrestling, and others.

As a big fan, I’m working on keeping this guide updated with links to all the Challenges and where to get the Sealed Abyss Artifacts they reward. But honestly, there are so many of them โ€“ hundreds! โ€“ so it’s going to take a while to track them all down. I’ll do my best to keep it current, though!
