Crimson Desert doesn’t follow the usual method of choosing difficulty levels. Instead, it encourages players to prepare and learn its complex mechanics. It’s not an easy game, so it’s a good idea to carry plenty of healing items. One of the most valuable items is the Palmar Pills, which allow you to restart a fight with 30% health if you get defeated.
You can find Palmar Pills as you explore the world. The game also gives you a chance to craft more of them early on — almost right from the start. Being able to make extra pills can greatly boost your chances of surviving tough battles. To help you get started, here’s how to find the Palmar Pill Crafting Manual in Crimson Desert.
Where to Find the Palmar Pill Crafting Manual
To locate the manual, go to a small cave north of Hernand, just west of the bridge you crossed when arriving in the area. It’s a quick trip from either place, and you can ride your horse to get there faster.
You’ll find this hidden cave by a cliffside at the spot shown above. It’s hard to see from a distance, but once you’re nearby, it becomes clear. Just climb up to the cave entrance and step inside.
Inside the Cave
Upon entering, you’ll find a witch’s alchemy lab filled with different items. On the right side of the room, you’ll see the Palmar Pill Crafting Manual. Grab it and open it up to learn how to craft Palmar Pills.
Making Palmar Pills
Like many items in Crimson Desert, you’ll need a cauldron to brew Palmar Pills. There’s a cauldron on the left side of the cave that you can use right away. To craft the pills, you’ll need 2 Water and 15 Rosemary. If you don’t have enough Rosemary, you can swap in other ingredients.
Now that you know how to craft Palmar Pills, your survival chances will improve significantly against boss battles and large enemy groups. But remember, the game still offers plenty of challenges — it won’t become a walk in the park overnight!
