You unlock Sliding Down the Slope after picking up the Sealed Abyss Artifact at the fork in the road near Bloomwood Ranch, near the center of the Nas River Bend in central Hernand.
Challenge
Slide down 50 meters
Tips
You will automatically go into a slide if you crouch while sprinting. The slide will perpetuate for as long as you are sliding down a steep enough slope.

Rainbow Across the Sky
You unlock Rainbow Across the Sky after picking up the Sealed Abyss Artifact at the end of the road past Fort Warspike in Duskwood in western Hernand.
Challenge
Use a banner pike to pole vault 5 times in 30 seconds
Tips
Banner Pikes have a unique pole vault move that automatically triggers when you try to double jump and pressing the attack button during the vault will slam the weapon down.
Unfortunately, the weapon does not have a complete moveset. There’s no Turning Slash equivalent.
Keeping Balance on the Wind
You unlock Keeping Balance on the Wind after picking up the Sealed Abyss Artifact along the road around Hernand Highlands near Unicorn Cliff in central Hernand.
Challenge
Walk 10 meters highlining
Tips
Highlining means tightrope walking, so just walk across a long clothesline to complete this challenge.
Clash of a Protector
You unlock Clash of a Protector after picking up the Sealed Abyss Artifact at the fork in the road near Hayroof Farm in the northeastern part of the Golden Plains of Demeniss.
Challenge
Successfully Parry 7 times without taking damage
Tips
The Focus Lv 3 Skill enables you to auto parry while everything is moving in slow motion, so you can just do that 7 times in a row to complete this challenge more easily. If you feel the parry timing is too tight, you can increase the size of the timing window by reducing the game’s difficulty setting.
Tornado of Steel
You unlock Tornado of Steel after picking up the Sealed Abyss Artifact at the fork in the road at Dewhaven Logging Camp in southwestern Delesyia.
Challenge
Hit enemies 6 times using a normal Turning Slash
Hit enemies 6 times using a Fire-enhanced Turning Slash
Hit enemies 6 times using an Ice-enhanced Turning Slash
Hit enemies 6 times using a Lightning-enhanced Turning Slash
Hit enemies 6 times using a Wind-enhanced Turning Slash

You can unlock all 4 Elemental Attacks by solving specific series of Abyss puzzles, so you just have to go through spamming the Turning Slash Skill with each element imbued.
Like a Butterfly, Like a Storm
You unlock Like a Butterfly, Like a Storm after picking up the Sealed Abyss Artifact along the road down the east coast of Delesyia between Marniville and Crowtalon Isle.
Challenge
Successfully land Diving Force Palm twice in a row without touching the ground
Tips
Diving Force Palm is one of Kliff’s Skills that requires you to have Aerial Swing (Axiom Force Lv 3) and Focused Force Palm. Once you have it unlocked, you just have to do an Aerial Swing → Force Palm → Axiom Force grapple to a wall → Aerial Swing → Force Palm before landing.
Through the Current
You unlock Through the Current after picking up the Sealed Abyss Artifact at the base of the Great Gate of Urdavah in the Crimson Desert.
Challenge
Swim 100 meters at full speed without resting
Tips
Go to the ocean once you have enough Stamina and swim until the challenge completes. If you’re having trouble, embed some Haste and Surge Abyss Gears and equip a Cloak that offers Elemental Resistance Lv 3 (those give some of the highest Stamina Cost reductions).

You also receive The Ashen’s Plate Gloves and a Vigor I Abyss Gear for completing this challenge.
