It's a hard knock life.

With so much to do in Crimosn Desert, you may occasionally get up to some criminal activities.

This can make getting around a little difficult in that area. This is how to get rid of it.

How to get rid of a bounty in Crimson Desert

To remove a bounty in Crimson Desert, you will need to visit a priest, known as a Confessional. The first one you are likely to find is in Hernand, in the church to the east of the town, at Hernand Farmhouse. Confessionals are marked on the map by an icon that looks almost like an artistic rendition of the sun, or a traditional compass.

You can pay a pledge, which will vary depending on the severity of your crime and who it was against, in order to erase it and obtain absolution. The good news is that once the church says you have financially repented for your sins, the law can no longer bother you for it.

The best thing to do is try to ensure that nobody sees you commit any of your crimes, but you will still take a reputational hit in the region, as that is more of a karma system than anything else. This reputation, known as Contribution, is a pretty important system, and a good way to get some decent gear throughout the game, thanks to the Contribution shops.
