How to Track Down the Darkbringer Sword in Crimson Desert

Polygon's latest guide details how players can track down and claim the powerful Darkbringer sword in Crimson Desert by navigating the dangerous White Wastes Sanctuary.

Crimson Desert is currently testing the patience and combat skills of open world fans everywhere, and finding top tier gear is a massive part of the grind. If you want to trade up your standard armaments for something with serious endgame potential, the Darkbringer sword stands out as one of the best high fantasy additions to protagonist Kliff's arsenal. Securing this two-handed weapon gives you a massive combat advantage thanks to its solid base stats, critical rate buffs, and five abyss gear slots.

Getting your hands on the Darkbringer is far from a walk in the park. According to a detailed guide by Paulo Kawanishi over at Polygon, the weapon is hidden away at the White Wastes Sanctuary in the northwestern section of Pailune. Because this is strictly a mid-to-late-game region, you will need to pack plenty of provisions and prepare for hostile territory. Navigating past aggressive Black Bear camps and unlocking abyss nexuses along the way is crucial for survival.

Once you finally battle or sneak your way to the sanctuary, the reward is waiting in plain sight. You will need to locate a giant skeleton featuring a yellow cloth in its mouth, and approaching the skull lets you claim the sword directly. For players who love min-maxing their builds and hunting down legendary gear like the Soul Spear and Frozen Anguish, adding the Darkbringer to your inventory is a mandatory rite of passage. Check out the complete walkthrough on Polygon for full map coordinates and extra survival tips.
