Players can accumulate infinite wealth in Crimson Desert thanks to the Golden Piggy Bank, a key item found in a side quest that will reward your inventory with coin purses, even when you're offline. It's an incredible feature that you need to take advantage of.

Players can get the Golden Piggy Bank by defeating Walter Lanford, a boss in Crimson Desert who appears during the House Serkis Faction Questline in Hernand. Below, we'll detail how to get this quest and how to use the Golden Piggy Bank.

How to Get & Use the Golden Piggy Bank in Crimson Desert

  1. Complete House Serkis Faction Quests in Hernand.
  2. We completed 10 House Serkis quests before we got "The Nemesis' Demise", which rewards the Golden Piggy Bank.
  3. If you've completed House Serkis quests and you don't have "The Nemesis' Demise", then complete other Faction Quests in Hernand, or liberate camps from Bleed Bandits.
  4. The Golden Piggy Bank is rewarded by defeating Walter Lanford, the boss fight during "The Nemesis' Demise".
  5. To use the Golden Piggy Bank, enter your inventory and select "Key Items", where you can find this item waiting.
  6. Using the Golden Piggy Bank will return you to the title screen.
  7. The next time you log in, you will have hundreds of Light Copper Pouches, depending on how long you were offline for.

Below, we'll detail how you can easily defeat Walter Lanford, the shotgun menace, so you can get the Golden Piggy Bank without too much trouble.

How to Defeat Walter Lanford in Crimson Desert

  1. Walter Lanford utilizes a shotgun, so he's going to try to keep his distance with dashes and smoke grenades to shoot you from a distance.
  2. Use Blinding Flash Finishers (L1+R1+R2) to close the gap on Walter.
  3. Utilize dodges instead of parries against Walter, as you won't be able to parry his shotgun pellets.
  4. Bring plenty of healing items so that you can outheal the damage that Walter deals.
  5. Walter's only a one-phase boss, and he shouldn't be too much trouble if you're appropriately leveled for his encounter.
