Pywel is a huge world brimming with secrets, enemy hideouts, and things to collect. The expansive open world is divided into five different regions, each featuring unique environments and storylines.
Delesyia is probably the final area you’ll explore in Pywel. It’s the most technologically advanced region, filled with robots and powerful airships. Check out our interactive map to help you navigate!

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 lots of helpful information, and we’ll quickly go over the most important features to get you started.
Belltowers
In Crimson Desert, finding and ringing belltowers is a quick way to explore the world. Each belltower you activate removes the fog from a large area of the map, showing you important locations. When you begin playing, it’s a good strategy to prioritize finding these belltowers to uncover as much of the map as possible.
Abyss Nexus
You can quickly travel around the world using the Abyss Nexus, which are circular platforms hidden throughout the landscape. Most of these platforms are located in Pywel and appear on your map as “Mysterious Energy.” Simply stand on a platform for a short time to activate it, and then you can instantly travel back to that location whenever you want.
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 act as experience for improving 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 highly recommended!
There are three ways of obtaining Abyss Artifacts:
- Complete quests and defeat enemies.
- Find Sealed Abyss Artifacts and complete their respective challenge.
- Activate an Abyss Cresset.
Important Vendors
Crimson Desert features more than a dozen different kinds of vendors. While their names generally explain what they sell or do, some merchants are surprisingly useful and important.
- 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 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.
