Crimson Desert: Alec’s Request Quest Walkthrough

This walkthrough covers Alec’s Request in Crimson Desert, a Greymane faction commission that unlocks after finding Alec at the Goldleaf Trading Post and completing Brice’s Request. Alec is the camp blacksmith and wants to make amends with Ronnie the cook by grilling him a fresh fish – specifically a Leopard Perch, which you’ll need to catch yourself in the northeast near Hook Rapids.

Find Alec in the Quest A Rumor at the Goldleaf Trading Post. Additionally, you have to complete Brice’s Request to build a wagon. Alec manages the camp’s forge.

Drawing upon his battlefield experience, he crafts practical, long-lasting equipment to serve all.

Quest description:
“Alec, the blacksmith, wanting to apologize for recently refusing Ronnie the cook’s request, has asked for a fresh fish so he could grill it himself.”

Alec has his smithy right next to the main tent in Howling Hill. Talk to him about his request. He wants you to catch a leopard perch.

Of course, the Leopard Pearch can’t be right around the corner. The location is far, in the northeast. East of Hook Rapids.

I don’t like the fishing mechanics in Crimson Desert. So it took a while to understand how to catch a fish. There are different kinds of fish in this pond. It could be that you will first catch a normal perch before getting close to a Leopard Perch.

How to fish:
1. Equip the fishing rod. It’s not with the tools, it’s where to bow is.
2. Like with a bow: Aim and shoot. This time onto the water.
3. Wait until the fish bites, then use the “Hook” prompt.
4. First, you have to tire the fish. Don’t reel just yet. Move your pole in the opposite direction from where the fish is swimming. If it’s swimming to the left, pull the rod to the right and vice versa.
5. Reel-in: You will see that the pole won’t bend that much anymore. This is the time to reel in. But do it slowly, always checking if the pole does not bend and the fish is not fighting. Sometimes they start fighting again mid-reel, so you have to stop reeling and tire the fish again.

If you don’t want to fish, Leopard Perches can also be bought at some fish shops. One of them is at the Grey Rock Dock Fishing Shop, north of where Alec is sending you to catch the fish.

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.
