Challenge 6: Greymane’s Vow

• Challenge: Acquire Hernandian, Demenissian, and Delesyian Signets, and Tashkalp Seal.
• How to Complete: Signets and Seals are the Rings purchased from the Contribution Shop in each region in exchange for 65 contribution points. You will need to complete Faction Quests in each region to reach contribution level 65, then exchange your contribution points for the rings at each Contribution Shop. Just from the story alone you will reach around contribution level 30 automatically in each region, then complete bounties and faction quests until you reach level 65.
  Hernand Contribution Shop: inside Hernand Castle through the door to the little guard tower before the gate in the courtyard. Wear the Hernandian Attire to be let inside the castle.
  
  Demeniss Contribution Shop: the area becomes non-hostile after finishing story chapter 12 when you go there as Damiane. Enter the front gate of the castle, take the right path and go up the wooden staircase. The shop is behind a locked door, use any key to open it. You can loot keys from enemies or buy them from Back Alley Shops. Any key will work on any door, they aren’t tied to specific doors.
  
  Delesyia Contribution Shop: The shop is behind a locked door in the north of Delesyia Castle. First, equip the Visione Helmet from the inventory (purple key item) and approach the guards by the gate so they let you in. You will be treated as hostile if not wearing the Visione in Delesyia. Then use any key to open the locked door to the shop. You can loot keys from enemies or buy them from Back Alley Shops. Any key will work on any door, they aren’t tied to specific doors.
  
  Tashkalp Contribution Shop: In Tashkalp town in the south of Crimson Desert region.
  
• Reward: 1x Abyss Artifact, 1x Service II

Challenge 7: Duo Win Streak

• How to Unlock: Pick up Sealed Abyss Artifact in Demeniss, on the side of the road east of the Spire of Clockwork.
  
  
• Challenge: 3-Win Duo Streak.
• How to Complete: You can find duo in the Hernand inn upstairs, and in Tashkalp town (Crimson Desert region). See the 2 Duo locations below:
   
  The Hernand version requires 150 silver buy-in and Tashkalp requires 300 silver – see see How to Get Fast Money. Each round you draw 2 sticks, the person with the highest score wins. See the score combinations in the image below. Whenever you draw, you will be shown the first draw of your opponents, then hold to check what possible score they could have and how high your score is. If you have a bad hand, fold to not waste more money. When you have a good hand and opponents have a bad hand, go all-in and they will usually fold and you win the round. If you are shuffling the sticks you can also try cheating by holding which lets you put any card up your sleeve to switch it into your deck later, but there’s a risk of getting caught. You just need to win 3 rounds in a row, so even if you don’t have a good hand can try to bluff with higher bets and with some luck the opponents will fold.
   
• Reward: 1x Abyss Artifact, 1x Faded Abyss Artifact, 1x Fortune II

Challenge 8: 4-Player Duo Champion

• How to Unlock: Pick up Sealed Abyss Artifact in Delesyia, on the side of the road directly under the D in DELESYIA map text.
  
  
• Challenge: Win a 4-Player Duo Match.
• How to Complete: 4-Player Duo Match can be found in Tashkalp, the town in the south of Crimson Desert region. However, it’s a bit random if you get 4 players there or less. If you don’t get 4 players, fast travel to another region and come back, or sleep in another region to skip time to the next day, or do other tasks and check back periodically. Eventually you get a new set of players. When you do get 4 players, make a manual save before sitting down. This table has a high buy-in of 300 silver, see How to Get Fast Money. Winning a 4-player round is largely luck. With 4 players, they tend to make higher bets until two go all-in and one is bankrupted and drops out. The best strategy is to go all-in right away and hope that the others fold when they have a bad score, or that you end up with the best score. If it fails you can reload save and retry going all-in each time until you win.
  
• Reward: 1x Abyss Artifact, 1x Fortune I

Challenge 9: Spot the Trickery in Duo

• How to Unlock: Pick up Sealed Abyss Artifact in Hernand, at intersection directly northwest of Wild Raiders Camp.
  
  
• Challenge: Spot the Trickery in Duo
• How to Complete: This is best done in Tashkalp at the Duo table (the town in south of Crimson Desert region). It has a high buy-in of 300 silver, see How to Get Fast Money. At this Duo minigame you usually have 3 opponents. Play this minigame for a while, and you should get an automatic tutorial on cheating at some point where you go into the blue vision mode to see one of the players trying to cheat. Then choose the “Accuse” option displayed in the bottom right corner. If it’s not your first time playing with a cheater you may already have gotten the tutorial earlier, in which case pay close attention to the hand of the opponents. When they cheat, the move their hand upward toward their throat when pulling out the sticks, when they play legit they pull out their hand sideways. You can cheat too when it’s your turn to shuffle, so you can watch the animation (press to cheat yourself), then you know what to look out for and it’s easier to recognize cheating attempts.
