Crimson Desert’s Charting the Unknown DLC adds new main story quests to the game for Kliff, Damiane, and Oongka. This guide covers every requirement you need to meet to access them.
What is Charting the Unknown?
Charting the Unknown is Crimson Desert’s highly anticipated first major paid DLC. Among its many new features, it introduces three new questlines that serve as epilogues for each of our playable characters, plus a fourth questline that will take you on a maritime adventure, captaining your very own ship.
Requirements to unlock the new Story Main Quests
To access the new character Main Quests, you’ll need to complete all Main Story Quests from the base game, including the Epilogue: Journey’s End.
Thankfully, it’s not necessary to unlock the game’s secret bonus ending, which would add significant playtime. The base Main Quests alone can take anywhere between 50 and 80 hours (if you remain focused). As every veteran player already knows, you could easily spend 250 hours and still be in Hernand…
Once you meet these requirements, three new Main Quests will become available to you:
- Beyond the Margins
- From the Ashes
- Forged Resolve
Beyond the Margins
This is Kliff’s new questline, and it begins with the quest: A Moment’s Respite. This quest starts in Pailune, at a tavern located just east of the Equipment Shop and the Smithy on the city’s northeast side. This is not Pailune’s Tavern by the docks, where you can buy consumables.
From the Ashes
This is Damiane’s new questline, and it begins with the quest: Reclaimed and Remaining. This Quest starts on the southeastern side of Demeniss, where a protest is taking place.
Here, you will have to speak with Countess Azerian, after which a cutscene of the protest getting out of hand will play out.
Forged Resolve
This is Oongka’s new questline and it begins with the quest: A New Path. This quest takes place in the northwestern side of the city of Pailune, inside a workshop west of the Saddlery and the Stable. Once you enter the building, a cutscene of Oongka lost in study will play out.
Requirements to unlock the new Ocean Quests
To access the new ocean based questline, you’ll first need to unlock the Greymane Camp by completing Chapter III of the Main Story.
Then you’ll need to complete the Expanding the Camp Faction Quest, which is part of the Gathered Will questline.
After that, a new Greymane Faction quests group called Charting the Unknown becomes available. You’ll need to progress this questline to build a ship and open up new quests as you explore the ocean.
