Crimson Desert: The Screaming Vault Ancient Ruins Walkthrough

The Screaming Vault is an Ancient Ruins puzzle found west of Demeniss City in Crimson Desert. To solve it, you need to leave the vault, find three scarecrows in the surrounding agricultural fields, note the symbol painted on each one, then return and rotate the three in-vault symbols to match. Completing the puzzle rewards you with an Abyss Artifact and the Memory of Turbulence – a treasure item that reveals all hidden locations on the Demeniss map.

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.
