All Pailune Abyss Artifact Locations in Crimson Desert

Locations of all types of Abyss Artifacts in Pailune in Crimson Desert! This guide shows you where to find them and how to obtain them.

How Abyss Artifacts Work

Crimson Desert has forsaken a traditional leveling system to manage skill points on the skill tree. Instead, you find and receive Abyss Artifacts, which are a consumable item that let you allocate an additional skill point in the skill tree. They are also required to upgrade some weapons.

There are 3 types of Abyss Artifacts in Crimson Desert, regular, Sealed, and Faded. None can be sold.

Note on Map Locations

In this catalog, the player marker on the map shows the location of the Artifact. In a few isolated cases, we have placed a custom marker for the artifact’s location, if it’s different than the player’s location.

Abyss Artifact Locations

Most regular Abyss Artifacts either come from Abyss Cressets after solving some sort of Challenge or are deposited directly into your inventory as a quest reward. Abyss Cressets also act as Teleportation points.

You also receive Abyss Artifacts whenever the gold meter next to the minimap fills up from defeating enough enemies.

Ancestor’s Rest

You can find an Abyss Cresset on a cliff at the waterfall on the southern edge of Pailune City.

You can reveal an Abyss Cresset for solving the Ancient Rift Maze at The Ancient Rift near the border of Pailune and Hernand, east of Calphade.

Cliff of Ruination

You can find an Abyss Cresset on the mountain overlooking the Cloister of Ruination in northwestern Pailune. You’ll need to defeat all 3 of Antumbra’s weapons before you can face off against Ator, Archon of Antumbra, here.

Five Finger Mountain Icy Ruins

You unlock an Abyss Cresset for solving the Stone Blocks puzzle at Five Finger Mountain Icy Ruins, west of the Cloister of Ruination.

To solve it, shatter the ice above the puzzle with Force Palm, then do the same with the small patch of ice in the empty pool to drain the water. You can move the pieces around, so they match the picture by pushing them or stabbing your sword into them.
