How to Maximize Stamina and Solve Challenges in Crimson Desert

Select Language:

Crimson Desert features a wide range of powerful skills and abilities, making Stamina the most important attribute to improve. You should aim to reach the maximum Stamina level as soon as possible. Even if you farm all the necessary Abyss Artifacts to get to Stamina level 14, there’s one more obstacle: Red Seaweed.

Red Seaweed is needed to upgrade your Stamina to level ten. Every time you respec your skills, you’ll have to use ten Red Seaweed, so it’s a smart idea to gather a good supply. Here’s how to farm Red Seaweed quickly in Crimson Desert.

What is the best way to get Red Seaweed?

There are two main methods to get Red Seaweed:

Research it at the Urdavah Research Institute in the Crimson Desert region.
Harvest Red Seaweed along the coast of Delesyia and Demeniss.

If you haven’t reached Chapter 9: The Sage of the Desert, it’s faster to collect Red Seaweed by hand. If you’re in Chapter 10: Counterattack or later, and have already done research with Valtus, it makes more sense to obtain Red Seaweed through the Research Institute while tackling other tasks.

How to harvest Red Seaweed in the wild

To gather Red Seaweed directly, head to southern Delesyia, south of Dewhaven. Look for spots along the coast where the water meets the beach; the deep red seaweed stands out visually against the water. Scan the shoreline around these areas and collect at least ten samples to upgrade your Stamina to level ten.

You’ll often find a good patch just below the ‘EN’ in Dewhaven. Scan the coast where the water meets the beach, and gather the red seaweed that’s clearly visible. Collect enough to reach the ten samples needed for your initial upgrade.

How to get Red Seaweed through research

You can also acquire Red Seaweed by completing research at the Urdavah Research Institute. To unlock this, you must finish Chapter 9. Once you do, head to the second floor of the Great Gate in Urdavah and find Valtus sitting at a desk on a balcony with a scenic view. Approach him and follow his requests for research.

The research requires two prerequisites:

Desert Lifestyle Research, which takes 2 hours and costs 1.10 Silver.
Bioenergy Amplification Research, which takes 9 hours and costs 11 Silver.

Completing these unlocks the Red Seaweed research, which takes 18 hours of in-game time and 12 Silver, but it offers a convenient way to gather large amounts of Red Seaweed later on.
