All five witches have some tasks or interactions that need to be done for them to show up at their house. Some of them are easy, while others will take a little searching. These witches are important because they help you manage and craft powerful Abyss Gear, which plays a big role in your progression. In this guide we will tell you about all 5 witch locations in Crimson Desert.
All Witch Locations
In Crimson Desert, witches are important when it comes to Abyss Gear. Not only can they help you in embedding and extracting Abyss Gear, but also crafting it. But that doesn’t mean that each time you visit the witches’ hideout, they’ll be waiting for you. The appearance of each witch depends on completing some requirements, meaning that if you cannot find her, there is something you have not done yet. And once you have unlocked them, you will be able to purchase Abyss Gear Recipes, Abyss Artefacts, and even Faded Abyss Artefacts.
The Novice Witch Sylvia
After you read the Sealed Letter from the White Crow in Chapter 3, you can go and meet Sylvia, the novice witch, inside Shadow’s Whisper Cave. From the location marked above, drop down the ledge to the ground below and start heading west along the base of the cliff. Keep following this path until you spot a hidden gap in the rocks. Go through it, and you’ll get inside Shadow’s Whisper Cave.
Witch of Wisdom
During the Witch of Wisdom questline, you’ll come across a girl named Tanya who’s being held hostage by bandits. She’s trapped inside a house in the Witchwoods, so you’ll need to deal with the bandits there as part of the encounter.
The Witch of Wisdom is automatically unlocked during Chapter 5 as part of the main story. You’ll find her southwest of Hernand. She’ll ask you to cleanse four different sanctums as part of her quest:
Once you’ve cleared all four, head back to her house and talk to the witch again to finish the quest.
Witch of Kindness
Travel westwards from Pailune, a little bit down from the Silver Wolf Cave. In this area, you will find a woman camping out in a tent. Approach her and ignite the tiny fire before her. She will vanish after a brief exchange with you.
Then, visit her home, which is situated northward from this location, just a little south of the Silver Wolf Mountain. Her house can be found within a pond. Head inside, talk to her behind the counter, and listen to her request to unlock her sanctums. She’ll also ask you to cleanse four more sanctums that have been taken over by darkness:
After you’ve cleared all of them, go back and speak with Bari again to wrap up her questline.
Witch of Humility
She can be found in the area north of Deinis and east of Pailun. Look for a broken bridge over the water where there will be a person hanging from it. Talk to her and help her up. A quick dialogue will start before she disappears, and she will ask you to find her place.
You need to go to an island south of Demeniss, to a cave. There is a stairway leading to her cave. Go inside, speak to her, and you’ll unlock her sanctums. You can also trigger her quest, where she asks you to cleanse four more sanctums:
Simply clear all four of them, and that will complete her quest.
Witch of Strength
Head to the Crimson Desert region, just below Tashkalp on the map. Look for a stable with a billboard and a child standing nearby. Give the child a coin, and after a short interaction, they’ll disappear.
Her house is located northwest of that spot, near Urdavah, built along a cliff. When you enter, she won’t be inside. Instead, she’ll be on the roof. Climb up carefully, talk to her, and accept her request to unlock her sanctums. Areciel only has three sanctums for you to deal with:
Just accept her request and cleanse all three sanctums to complete the Witch of Strength quest.
White Crow
The White Crow can only access her after completing all sanctums from the other four witches. Once done, go back and speak to each witch; they’ll give you a token. Take these four tokens to the White Crow’s house. At the door, you’ll need to insert each token one by one. After placing all tokens, the door will open. Go inside, speak to the White Crow, and this will complete the entire questline. Talk to her, then open the chest nearby to pick up the Icewing Plate Cloak.
