All Unique Gear Locations
In Crimson Desert, you have many weapons, armour pieces, and accessories. The game has a lot of unique gear pieces scattered across the world. These gear pieces have special Abyss Cores. These Abyss Cores give special powers, and you can also remove them from the gear pieces and attach them to other gear pieces. Below is the list of all the gear pieces we have found so far. We will update the list as we find more weapons.
Oath of Darkness Earrings
The Oath of Darkness Earrings can be collected from a locked box in Bluemont Banner. To unlock the strongbox, you have to solve a picture puzzle of a small owl. There are four buttons in the puzzle, and each one changes a section of the hexagonal prism. You have to make all the sections of the picture line up so that it looks complete. First, press the first button four times, the second button four times, the third button four times, and the fourth button once. After that, the picture of the owl should be in line, and the strongbox will be unlocked.
Finely crafted gold necklace
You will get the finely crafted gold necklace by opening the strong box inside the Bluemont Manor. You will enter the Manor by going to the left side of the front door and climb onto the balcony. You will find windows where you can get inside and follow the hallway into the next room. The strong box will be near the door.
To open the strongbox, start by adjusting the 5 cylinder from left to right. First, raise every cylinder as high as it can go. Once all of them are raised, start to lower them by lowering the first cylinder 5 times, the second cylinder 2 times, the third cylinder 4 times, the fourth cylinder 3 times, and the fifth cylinder 5 times. After setting the cylinders correctly, press the buttons on the right side, then turn it to the right. This will unlock the strong box and you can collect the treasure.
Saint’s necklace
You can find the Saint’s necklace inside a strong box in the Hillside Manor just southeast of the Hernand Castle. When you reach the manor, go to the left side of the main entrance and climb up the wall to enter from a window. Open that window and climb inside to find the strong box on the far side of the room, away from the door.
To open the strong box, adjust the pipe cylinders from left to right by lowering the first cylinder 2 times, the second cylinder 2 times, the third cylinder 3 times, the fourth cylinder 4 times, and the fifth cylinder 5 times. Once the cylinders are in the correct position, press the buttons on the right side and then turn it to the right to unlock the strong box and get the treasure.

You can climb up the wall to get to the window, and you will get the option to open the window and go inside. When you go inside, move towards the second floor. There, you will find a door that is locked. Just go through the door, and you will use the key to open it.
