Crimson Desert offers a wide variety of gear you can find to boost Kliff’s combat skills. From strong swords to elemental powers and entire armor sets, there’s plenty of loot to discover while exploring the open world.
Some items are significantly better than others and may require effort to obtain. One of the top-tier accessories is the White Lion Necklace. You won’t need to solve a puzzle to unlock it, but it’s located across the map, and defeating a tough enemy may be necessary if your level is low.
### How to Get the White Lion Necklace
To acquire the White Lion Necklace, head northeast from Varnia on your map, specifically north of the Trader’s Gorge along the lake. If you’re still in Hernand or Demeniss, this trip might take around 20 to 30 minutes on horseback if you’re using the default mount.
Travel through Crimson Desert is dangerous, with many bandits and soldiers attempting to attack you. It’s best to stay on the main roads and avoid straying into the wild land to prevent unexpected encounters.
#### Tips for the journey:
– Keep an eye out for minerals along the way, especially near the road to the left of the Trader’s Expanse marked on your map. You can find Bloodstone, Azure, and Scolecite Ore here.
Once you arrive at the designated area, you’ll notice several plateaus extending over the water past Varnia Gate. On one of the lower plateaus, a pack of lions is led by a large white lion—this is the creature you need to kill for the necklace. However, this enemy is a Legendary Animal and challenging to defeat.
### Defeating the White Lion
If your gear is low level, try to isolate the White Lion from the pack. You can do this by shooting it with an arrow and then retreating quickly, hoping it will chase after you. This way, you can fight it alone. Sometimes, the White Lion may wander away to the north, but it’s unpredictable because it stays close to its pack of normal lions. If other lions come your way, focus on taking them out first—they deal decent damage and can stun you if they land multiple dash attacks.
Weapons with good crowd control, like the Tauria Curved Sword or Darkbringer, work well here. Their heavy attack abilities can handle groups by attacking multiple enemies simultaneously. The White Lion, even though it’s not a boss, can hit hard, especially if you’re underleveled and trying to get the necklace early.
After defeating the White Lion, approach its body and skin it to get the White Lion Necklace, which can be worn anytime. You will also find a rare Diamond mineral deposit nearby, useful for upgrading gear.
### What’s Special About the White Lion Necklace?
This necklace provides +2 Attack, Critical Rate Level 1, and Spirit Regeneration all at once. This boosts your damage and offers extra Spirit recovery during long fights. Since it’s versatile and beneficial throughout most of the game, it’s worth the effort to get and upgrade.
