How to solve the Drakesfall Gorge Ancient Ruins puzzle in Crimson Desert

To solve this puzzle, you need to walk to the very end of the row of armed statues, at the farthest point from the statue with the hood at the end. Here, you will find a small line of stone slabs. Stand on it until you hear some rumbling, then duck and begin to walk slowly forward.

Be prepared to stop, as the statue with the hood at the end will turn, its eyes glowing with blue energy, and try to catch you moving. You just need to slowly make your way forward, stopping to ensure you are not caught moving every time the statue turns around.

You need to make your way all the way to the base of the hooded statue, at which point the entire statue will turn around, settling into the ground, and the artifact will appear in the Abyss Cresset.

And that is it, the puzzle will be solved, and you can grab your Abyss Cresset. For more news and guides, make sure to check out our dedicated Crimson Desert page.
