• Crimson Desert Challenges Guide

Shield of Unchanging Will 1

• How to Unlock: Pick up the Sealed Abyss Aritfact in Hernand, at the second intersection north of Hernand Royal Trading Post.
  
  
• Challenge: Defeat 3 enemies with a shield.
• How to Complete: Enemies can be damaged directly with the shield by holding to guard, then pressing to use shield bash. Defeat 3 enemies in this way to complete the challenge.
• Reward: 1x Abyss Artifact

Shield of Unchanging Will 2

• How to Unlock: Pick up Sealed Abyss Artifact in Hernand, along the road directly north of Kharonso.
  
  
• Challenge: Block 10 arrows with a shield.
• How to Complete: While blocking with a shield you can block arrows that are being shot at you. Block a total of 10 this way to complete the challenge.
• Reward: 1x Abyss Artifact, 1x Faded Abyss Artifact

Shield of Unchanging Will 3

• How to Unlock: Pick up Sealed Abyss Artifact in Hernand, on the side of the road southeast of the Sanctum of Benediction, south between the E and R in HERNAND map text.
  
  
• Challenge: Hit 3 enemies at once with a shield.
• How to Complete: As with challenge 1, you will want to use Shield bash with + to attack enemies. The attack has a wide swing on it, so if you can group up some enemies and then attack you are likely to hit multiple at once.
• Reward: 1x Abyss Artifact

Shield of Unchanging Will 4

• How to Unlock: Pick up Sealed Abyss Artifact in Hernand, at intersection directly east of Embernest Beacon.
  
  
• Challenge: Defeat 5 enemies with a shield without taking damage.
• How to Complete: This requires defeating 5 enemies in a row with the shield without taking damage, so you will want to aim to do this on weak enemies somewhere like Hernand, and not on a large group. This challenge doesn’t have a time limit, so you can lead the enemies around to separate them a bit and take them out one by one. Deal with any archers that might be present first so you don’t take damage from ranged attacks.
• Reward: 1x Abyss Artifact

Shield of Unchanging Will 5

• How to Unlock: Along a road in Demeniss region, on the map directly south of the “D” in Demeniss.
  
  
• Challenge: Flip 5 enemies with a shield
• How to Complete: While playing as Damiane (the female character, unlocked from story), press to throw the shield at enemies. Do this 5 times, when you hit them with the shield it counts as “flipping” them.
• Reward: 1x Abyss Artifact, Fortitude I

Shield of Unchanging Will 6

• How to Unlock: Pick up Sealed Abyss Artifact in Hernand, on the side of the road west from Calphade South Gate, just before the bridge that crosses the river.
  
  
• Challenge: Land 10 hits on enemies within 1 minute with the shield using Charge.
• How to Complete: Charge is an ability in Kliff’s Armed Combat unlocked at the third level. While guarding you can press twice to make Kliff run forward, causing you to run into enemies with the shield and knocking them back. This challenge seems to require hitting 10 different enemies with the attack within 1 minute, not just any enemy 10 times, so you will need to do this against a large group of enemies to be able to hit 10 different ones within 1 minute.
• Reward: 1x Abyss Artifact
