Crimson Desert: Duncan’s Request Quest Walkthrough

This walkthrough covers Duncan’s Request in Crimson Desert, a Greymane faction commission that unlocks after finding Duncan in A Rumor in Calphade. Duncan wants a Northern Pike from Pailune Lake so Ronnie the cook can prepare a nostalgic dish. The lake is a long ride north, so here’s exactly where to go and how to catch the fish.

Quest description:
“Duncan asked for a fish caught in Pailune Lake, saying he wished to have Ronnie the cook prepare a nostalgic dish.”

Duncan can be found near Ross, the Dispatch Coordinator at Howling Hill. Talk to him and listen to his request. He wants a fish from Pailune Lake.

The Pailune Lake destination is in the far north, past Drakesfall Gorge. It’s near the Beighen Weavery and is more like a river than a lake.

When it comes to fishing, I still don’t like the mechanics:
1 – Equip the fishing rod.
2 – Cast the Line.
3 – Hook the Fish.
4 – Fight the fish until it’s tired (not splashing anymore).
5 – Reel it in.

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.
