Crimson Desert Faction Side Quests Guide: Locations 2026

Crimson Desert’s Faction Side Quests are built for players who want more than the main campaign—offering optional tasks that range from straightforward deliveries to longer, multi-step story threads. This guide hub organizes every Faction Side Quest in one place, gives quick step-by-step walkthrough coverage for each entry, and includes checkboxes so you can track what you’ve completed. If you get stuck on a puzzle or can’t quite figure out what the quest wants, the walkthrough sections are meant to get you unstalled and back on track.

Checklists and regional routes

The hub is set up so you can work through every Faction Side Quest directly, with completion checkboxes and links out to the relevant walkthroughs. If you’d rather browse by region instead, there are dedicated Faction Quest guide sections for multiple areas.
