Crimson Desert: Bosses Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Think of Marni's Excavatron as a glorified, angry piece of mining equipment. While this encounter is technically optional, you'll need to scrap this machine to complete the Stolen Quarry Faction Quest.

You can find it lurking in the large courtyard area of the Karin Quarry Rest Area.

• Because of its slow movement speed, ranged attacks are your best friend. You can safely chip away at its health bar while staying well out of reach of its primary melee tools.
•  Its most dangerous maneuver is its burrowing attack. When you see it dive into the earth, stop attacking and focus entirely on dodging.
• Be ready to dodge the moment the ground starts to tremble beneath you. As long as you avoid the initial hit when it resurfaces, the rest of the fight is a straightforward test of patience and aim.

Myurdin is the first boss you'll encounter in Crimson Desert. You'll get to face him in Hernand, during the In Ashes quest. He hits hard and fights alongside his lackeys. Most likely, he'll defeat you; however, don't worry because, regardless of whether you win or lose the fight, the upcoming events remain the same.

Matthias is the second boss you'll have to face in Crimson Desert. He is found in Hernand town square, and you'll need to defeat him to complete the For Honor Quest.

How to Defeat Matthias:

Matthias might be a knight, but in the grand scheme of things, he’s essentially the game’s "warm-up" boss.

He has two health bars to chew through, but his slow sword swings and telegraphed kicks make him very manageable if you follow these tactics:

• Never start your heavy combo unless your stamina bar is green.
• Chain your 3 light attacks directly into 3 heavy attacks. This specific rhythm will keep him staggered.
• Once the heavy combo ends, dodge far away.
• Wait for your stamina to recharge, sprint back in, and go again.
• If he swings mid-combo, don't get greedy—dodge immediately.
