In the early stages of Crimson Desert, you’ll likely come across several Abyss Gears, especially if you’re exploring the open world extensively. These items can significantly alter how you handle battles, allowing you to customize your gear to boost your basic stats and discover new tactics.
You can find Abyss Gears through various methods such as completing quests, exploring new areas, or opening Sealed Abyss Artifacts. However, the first few Abyss Gears you find probably won’t be usable right away, as you’ll need to progress a certain amount in the story first. Here’s what you need to know to equip Abyss Gears and modify Kliff’s build in Crimson Desert.
### How to Equip Abyss Gears
#### You Need a Witch
To equip an Abyss Gear, you first need to talk to a witch. These special merchants aren’t found in the main city marketplaces; you’ll need to search for them in out-of-the-way locations.
Most mid- to late-game equipment includes slots for Abyss Gears, and some items can even be upgraded to add more slots.
There are several witches scattered across Pywel, but you can’t find your first one or equip Abyss Gears until you reach Chapter 5 of the main story. Below, we’ll explain how to get there.
### Where to Find a Witch
#### Unlocks in Chapter 5
As you progress through the game, reach Chapter 5. Attend the banquet during the quest “Demenissian Delegation” and participate in the boss fight against Kearush, the Slayer. You can choose to defeat him or, after being defeated, select “Give Up” to be ejected outside the arena.
After this event, a white crow will land on your shoulder, and you’ll receive a letter. Reading it begins the first quest for the Witches faction, called “The Hermit Witch.” Completing this quest will unlock the ability to equip Abyss Gears and allow you to continue the main story. A map marker will appear at the location specified above, in The Witchwoods.
Travel to this area, defeat the enemies guarding the witch’s house, and then enter through a hole in the roof. Rescue the witch and speak with her to learn more about her quest. The most important part is that now you’ll be able to use her services to assign Abyss Gears to your equipment.
With this, you’ll be able to customize your build with Abyss Gears and expand your combat options in Crimson Desert.
