If you want to survive in the tough world of Crimson Desert, you’ll need to explore off the main route to find gear that can boost Kliff’s abilities. From elemental powers to jewelry and weapons, there’s a variety of items you can gather to increase your chances in battles.
For those seeking a great one-handed sword, the Acria Sword can be obtained fairly early in Crimson Desert if you’re willing to ride your horse to get it. Here’s what you need to know about where to find this weapon and how to solve the Stellen Manor puzzle.
Where to Find the Acria Sword
To find the Acria sword, head northeast of Hernand’s main city toward Stellen Manor, which is also northeast of Drakesfall Gorge. This location is along a riverbank and about a 15-minute ride from Hernand’s city. The journey is mostly smooth, with little resistance.
When you arrive at Stellen Manor, you’ll need to break inside because guards will try to push you away at the front entrance. These guards are blind, so you can climb the wall, open a window, or enter through another opening without being stopped.
Stellen Manor Puzzle Solution
After climbing through the second-story window, look for the dining room across from the main staircase. Inside, find a strongbox along the wall near the machine. Interact with the gear on the side of the device to play a musical tune.
To unlock the strongbox, you need to replicate this tune on the keys. Don’t worry about the top row of keys; you only need to use the bottom row’s four keys, numbered from left to right as 1, 2, 3, and 4. The sequence to press is: 1, 3, 4, 2, 1, 3, 4.
If you make a mistake and the tune bugs out, you can fix it by fast traveling to an Abyss Gate to reset the puzzle. There’s one just south of the manor that you can unlock before entering.
Once the correct sequence is played, the strongbox opens. Use a mask to steal the key inside. Take that key to the master bedroom on the second floor and open the wardrobe on the left. Inside, you’ll find a wheel that you can interact with to lower a table filled with torture devices.
On the table, there’s a book you can pick up, though you can’t read it. Using your lantern, you’ll notice blue-glowing bloodstains nearby. Head down to the first floor and locate a bookshelf on a wall opposite the stairs. Approach the shelf and examine the top right corner for a slot where you can put the book.
Placing the book in the slot will unlock the bookshelf, revealing a secret door. Follow this hidden passage to the basement torture room, where the Acria Sword is displayed on a holder in the top left corner.
About the Acria Sword
The Acria Sword features three Abyss Gear slots, starts at Refinement Level 4, and has 19 Attack. It also comes with a default Critical Rate Level 1, even without adding Abyss Gears, which makes it better than many early-game swords, most of which only increase Critical Rate through gear modifications.
