How to Get Infinite Abyss Artifacts in Crimson Desert

by

In Crimson Desert, Abyss Artifacts are key items you’ll need to gather. They let you learn new skills – things like powerful combat moves and boosts to your stats – and improve your gear. You can get them from defeating bosses or solving Abyss puzzles, but there’s also a simpler way to farm them.

You can get Abyss Artifacts by pickpocketing characters at the Scholastone Institute. We’ll show you a simple and efficient route to quickly gather these artifacts, helping you level up faster and upgrade your gear.

How to Farm Abyss Artifacts in Crimson Desert

  • In Chapter 4, you can head to the Scholastone Institute in southwest Hernand.
  • Head inside the Scholastone Institute’s north building to find a bunch of NPCs walking and sitting around the main hall.
  • Equip the Lantern from your Weapon Wheel (Hold Left on the D-Pad).
  • Use the Lantern (L1/LB) and walk around and look for golden cube items in the NPC’s inventory, which indicates that the NPC is holding an Abyss Artifact.
  • Equip a Mask and bump into the NPC, then hold X/A to Pickpocket them to steal the Abyss Artifact.
  • Sometimes the NPC will have multiple items to Pickpocket, so you might not get the Abyss Artifact right away.

Someone might see you commit the crime, so it’s best to leave the area quickly to avoid a small bounty. Even if you do get a bounty, it’s only about 6 Silver Coins – which is a small price to pay for an Abyss Artifact (and this guide can help you cover it).

If an NPC doesn’t have any Abyss Artifacts when you check, just try reloading your last save or returning to the area through the Abyss Nexus – that usually fixes it.
