Story & Quest Checklist

Patch 2.00.00 story review

Crimson Desert Enhanced revises the main story’s narrative flow and adds cutscenes, story moments, Knowledge, items, Memory Fragments, dialogue and boss conversations. Pearl Abyss did not publish a changed quest count, route order or objective-by-objective list.

All 168 main-story records therefore remain structurally available but carry a Version 2.00.00 review flag for narrative presentation, objective text and cutscene transitions. Do not delete completion state or assume an existing sequence changed without current-build evidence.

Confirmed named changes include Double Jump being awarded by Bilwise during Unexpected Gift, distinct phase-specific patterns for Golden Star, and a restartable Chapter 9 Mysterious Voice guide cutscene if Woosa or Maegu dies.

Versions 2.00.01 and 2.00.02 each partially improve character lip-sync in certain cutscenes. Pearl Abyss does not identify the scenes or claim a complete correction, so lip-sync remains presentation evidence rather than proof of a changed objective, quest order or completion trigger. Capture the cutscene, language, platform and build if a mismatch remains.

Use this checklist to prove quest progress without turning the guide into an unsupported list of guessed objectives. The Content Database supplies accepted quest records; the Completion Companion stores your local state.

A Secret Deal hotfix

Patch 1.18.02 fixes silver resetting after completing A Secret Deal in certain save files. Confirm the current guide patch, Version 2.00.02, before completing the quest and keep a separate manual save. The notice does not promise restoration of silver already lost on an older save; preserve known-good local, cloud and Cross-Save copies and record the prior balance, quest step, platform, build and timestamps before contacting support.

Patch 1.18.00 quest corrections

Patch 1.18.00 changed several route-specific states:

• Haverson’s Request — Baker’s Note has moved, so stale pre-patch coordinates must not be preserved.
• Price of Knowledge → Mysterious Pot → Kiln Repair — detached kiln pieces can be reattached with Force Current.
• Cairn House — the submission state for defeating enemies around the cabin was corrected.
• Jijeong Temple — the pensive statue should no longer reset unexpectedly.
• Time to Face Justice — switching to Oongka before speaking to Torstein should no longer block progression.
• Mysterious Invitation — its Knowledge record becomes available after reading the memory beneath Delesyia Castle.

These are fix statements, not complete walkthrough coordinates or guarantees of retroactive repair. Preserve a manual save before retesting a formerly blocked objective.

Separate fix from active issue

Pearl Abyss still lists Greymane faction quests as unable to progress while playing as Damiane or Oongka. That active Known Issue is distinct from the repaired Time to Face Justice sequence; use Kliff for affected Greymane progression.

Main story index

The database retains a complete 168-mission structural route set from the prologue through the epilogue. Phases 20.1–20.7 provide starting points, objective routes, field tips, completion signals and recovery steps for 168/168 missions as the supported pre-2.00 baseline. All 168 are now marked Version 2.00.00 review required for narrative flow, cutscenes, story moments, objective text and transitions; until each route is reverified, follow the live objective and treat guide sequencing as provisional. There are zero indexed main-story identities awaiting a route, but that identity and route coverage is separate from current narrative verification.

Story section	Total missions	Phase 20 full guides
Prologue — Dead of Night	4	4
Chapter 1 — First Encounter	9	9
Chapter 2 — Golden Greed	16	16
Chapter 3 — Howling Hill	17	17
Chapter 4 — Price of Knowledge	13	13
Chapter 5 — Guest Unbidden	10	10
Chapter 6 — Cracks in Shield	15	15
Chapter 7 — Homecoming	19	19
Chapter 8 — Blood Coronation	15	15
Chapter 9 — Sage of Desert	19	19
Chapter 10 — Counterattack	9	9
Chapter 11 — Truth and Reality	8	8
Chapter 12 — Abyss	6	6
Epilogue — Journey’s End	8	8

Structural route coverage remains 168/168; this denominator does not claim Version 2.00.00 narrative revalidation. Dataset v5.0.0 preserves every story mission and the six proven one-time named quests on stable IDs while retaining the review flag and the evidence boundary for repeatables, replayability-unresolved routes, incidental loot, hidden triggers and unlisted dialogue variations.

Side and faction completion boundary

The full Phase 21 guide estate contains 848 supported optional quest records. Six proven one-time named quests are completion-safe; 40 source-labelled daily routes are repeatable; 802 records retain an explicit replayability unknown. Repeatables and unresolved records remain fully searchable and guided without becoming false one-time checklist milestones.

Quest ledger

For each supported quest record, preserve:

• visible quest title;
• chapter or region;
• prerequisite state;
• current objective text;
• character in use;
• last confirmed completion trigger;
• reward only when directly observed or officially stated;
• patch and platform;
• whether the result survives save and reload.

Main-route pass

• Keep a manual save before a chapter transition.
• Finish the active objective before travelling to an unrelated region.
• Record the exact final objective text before checking the quest complete.
• Revisit unlocked settlement services after major progression.
• Confirm that the journal and world state agree after save and reload.
• Mark any inaccessible follow-up as blocked rather than missing.

Regional request pass

Work one settlement or region at a time:

1. collect visible requests;
2. group them by nearby route;
3. complete service or threat-clearing requests first;
4. revisit merchants and map markers whose state may change;
5. check the journal after hand-in;
6. record the visible reward before spending or moving it.

Patch 1.16 progression checks

Patch 1.16.00 officially changed or repaired several quest and challenge paths. In particular:

• Where Misery Gathers in Chapter 2 now progresses only after Shadow Cast Over the River;
• Assassinate Count Byron received a progression fix;
• Back Alley Cleanup received a completion fix when all outlaws had already been turned in;
• certain missions that incorrectly reported an NPC was on another mission received a fix;
• numerous Abyss, gate, switch and objective-location faults were corrected.

Treat these as patch history, not proof that every save is repaired. If the exact fault still occurs on the current verified version, capture a fresh reproduction.

Blocked quest procedure

1. Save to a new slot.
2. Confirm the current verified patch is installed.
3. Read the current objective exactly.
4. Return to the last required location or character.
5. Remove unrelated map filters and verify the intended region.
6. Reload the new manual save once.
7. Check Current Known Issues.
8. Report the quest title, objective, location, character, platform and reproduction steps.

Do not delete save data or repeatedly overwrite the only affected slot.

Evidence gate

A quest may be checked complete when at least one supported completion signal is visible:

• the quest leaves the active journal and enters a completed state;
• the promised world-state change occurs;
• the next explicitly dependent quest becomes available;
• the associated canonical challenge or knowledge record unlocks.

A cutscene ending, an NPC disappearing or a reward appearing is not automatically sufficient unless that signal is the accepted trigger for the specific record.

Final quest audit

• All 168 main-route walkthroughs are reconciled against the journal.
• Every main-story mission has objective evidence, an explicit completion signal and a resolved current-version narrative review state.
• Regional requests have been checked by region.
• No blocked quest is hidden inside the complete count.
• Patch-fixed objectives were retested on the current version.
• Unknown rewards and prerequisites remain unknown.
• The Completion Companion backup is current.
