Crimson Desert: Traitor Questline Walkthrough

#1 – Clue

Clue is the first quest of Chapter 8: Blood Coronation -> Traitor. It follows after Kliff being pulled into the past by Duke Caliburn in Demeniss Bound.

Description:
“According to Kliff, your swordsmaster is being held at the court. Seek out Naira, who is on Bastier’s trail, to combine your intelligence and plan a rescue.”

Infiltrate the Demeniss Court

The Demeniss Court is not far from the starting location. Just northwest of the castle.

Find the Underground Prison

There is only one guard on the ground floor, whom you can assassinate while crouching. In the backroom on the ground floor is a trapdoor. Open it and climb down to the underground prison.

Find Beatrice Azerian

Investigate the dead person in one of the prison cells. Note: Also look for two Palmar Pills in the room at the far end.

After the cutscene and the fight with the prison guards, the city will become a war zone (orange borders on the map). Exit Demeniss Castle, the warzone, to complete the quest.

#2 – A Fleeting Dream

Description:
“Bastier is in the tower, according to Naira. Blood must be repaid with blood. Head to the tower to bring justice to him in your swordmaster’s name.”

Defeat Bastier

All the areas blockaded by Bastier’s Inquisitors can not be liberated until you’ve defeated Bastier, and he is in the far northwest. I chose to run all the way, using a horse when possible. Bastier is at the base of the Spire of Clockwork. You will have to fight him as a human and as an enhanced version, one round each. Dodging is key; using the Smiting Bolt of Demiane’s rapier helped a lot.
