Treasure Chest Guide: Reach It via Nightstorm Cave Waterfall Route
Looking for a quick win early on? This Treasure Chest can be reached by heading to the waterfall area that feeds into Nightstorm Cave. The cave sits just to the north of the first “N” in Hernand, and it’s roughly halfway up the falls, so you’ll want to climb and position yourself before you start hunting around near the waterline.
As you get close to the entrance, keep an eye out for a small pile of rocks—those stacked stones are a sign that there’s a passage hidden beyond the waterfall. To get through, use the Stab technique at the right angle. On console, that’s RB/R1 plus Y/Triangle, timed and angled so the interaction actually triggers.
Once you’re inside Nightstorm Cave, push all the way to the end of the route. The chest at the far side contains the Plate Boots of the Fallen Kingdom and a Palmar Pill, making this a solid stop if you’re trying to upgrade your gear and grab useful consumables before moving on.

After that, the next natural step is to tackle “Things to Do First in Crimson Desert,” followed by “Essential Tips and Tricks,” then “Walkthrough,” and finally “Things Crimson Desert Doesn’t Tell You.” If you’re using the guide as a starting point, that order helps you set up your basics before diving deeper into the full progression and the game’s less-obvious hints.
That’s everything included in this section of the guide: Task Search, the chest location details, the method to enter the cave, and the specific items you’ll find once you reach the end.
