Crimson Desert: A Rumor in the Calphade Gate Quest

A Rumor in the Calphade Gate is a Greymane quest in Crimson Desert, unlocked after completing A Rumor at the Inksworth Bindery. Word has spread that Greymanes have been spotted at the Calphade Gate, northwest of Hernand Town. This guide covers where to find the key NPC at the gate and where the quest leads you next.

The area also connects to the Hunter’s Cabin Ruins puzzle and Hidden Treasure Map Piece 10, making it worth a thorough sweep while you’re there.

The rumored Pailunese are at Hunter’s Cabin, where I just came from to solve the Ancient Ruins puzzle. The Pailunese are, in fact, Greymanes: Lars, Joseph, Gerald, and Vernon.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
