Learn how to complete the investigation quest The Weight of Knowledge in Crimson Desert. This guide will provide the correct answers to the investigation you report to the Institute Steward.
Where to start The Weight of Knowledge
You can start The Weight of Knowledge by talking to the Institute Steward at the Scholastone Institute library in southwest Hernand.
Investigating the Theft
A forbidden volume has been stolen from the Scholastone library. Talk to the various people the quest leads you to, then return to the steward when you’re complete. You’ll need to answer with:
- Heard there was a meeting with a noble from out of town that day.
- They were at the lab with Tarho all day, and reckon the guard’s the one acting suspicious.
- He briefly stopped by the library while researching with Grunil, only to get yelled at by the librarian.
- It seems the library has records of everyone’s visits, except Raphael’s.
- He claimed he couldn’t possibly have stolen it, since he didn’t even know the forbidden book existed, let alone understand the ancient language.
After talking to the steward, you’ll need to bring in the culprit to complete the quest.
Reward
For a reward, you’ll receive 100 Hernandian Contribution and the Kinetic Dolphin Family decoration. This metal sculpture with glass dolphins rocks back and forth to mimic the motion of a dolphin jump out of the water.
