Crimson Desert: House Marshell Faction Questlines Walkthrough

The House Marshell faction becomes available after liberating Demeniss in Chapter 8 of Crimson Desert. It contains two quests: Midnight Circus, which opens first, and Trembles from Below, which unlocks later. Midnight Circus sends you to a nighttime showdown with Keglord Garnier, while Trembles from Below takes you deep into the Kingshield Mountains to defeat the boss Kutum. Both reward Abyss Artifacts, with Midnight Circus also dropping armor pieces. This guide covers both quests with boss tips and a hidden shield location most players miss.

Description
An unidentified power stirs beneath the Kingshield Dig Site. Investigate the source of the awakening.

Defeat Kutum at the Kingshield Dig Site. It is high up in the north, in the Kingshield Mountains, west of the Burnhand Quarry and the Western Dig Site. There is an Abyss Nexus nearby. To defeat Kutum, you have to aim at the red eye. The best way to do this is with a focused, multiple-shot approach.

The questline continues with its second quest “Nightmare on Stage”, where you now have to go to the circus at night to meet with Lord Keg to learn about Countess Marshell’s information. Make sure it is night. You can sleep in the nearby Azerian Manor. Then, head to the circus. Before entering the main tent, you can pick up the Shield of Ringing in the red-white striped side tent. Look for a highlighted white dot on the minimap.

Enter the main tent through one of the doors in the north and fight Keglord Garnier. His weaknesses are his shoulders. When he’s leaning down, use stab on the shoulder gears followed by a “Pierce”. In the second round, his weak point is the top of the head. You have to use stab and pierce there to cause massive damage.

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.
