Duskwood Waterside Ruins are home to one of Crimson Desert’s many hidden puzzles. Find out the exact location of these ruins and how to solve the puzzle within to claim an Abyss Artifact in this guide.
Where to Find the Ruins
The Duskwood Waterside Ruins are located a bit Northwest of Kilnden Workshop, which itself is west of Hernand.
The Duskwood Waterside Ruins are almost entirely in the open, with just some shrubs and trees obscuring them from being spotted easily without a Lantern or using Blinding Flash.


Solving the Duskwood Waterside Ruins Puzzle
This Puzzle is fairly simple, only requiring us to place the White Stone near the Abyss Cresset in the correct position.

The tricky part here, however, is that some of the rocks covering the possible locations we might want to place it… Well, they’re not rocks at all; they’re Mossback Crabs.
We recommend using a ranged weapon to get them out of the way, as melee will often displace other stones and require them to be placed where they were originally.

With them out of the way, we can finally put the piece in its proper place, the gap between the pieces located where the Westernmost Mossback Crab was.

Once put into place, the puzzle will register as complete shortly after. Go ahead and claim the Abyss Artifact that awaits.

As this is an Abyss Cresset, this location will also be available for Fast Travel after claiming the Abyss Artifact.
This location is also included in our list of all Abyss Artifacts in Hernand. In that catalog, you will find many more locations that are off the beaten path, offering free skill points.
