Black Fang is the legendary wolf in Crimson Desert who can be found in the Forest of Wolves in Hernand. You can find Black Fang after completing enough Hernand Faction Quests, but he's going to take some tracking. As such, we've listed the exact map locations where we found him.
You need to kill Black Fang in Crimson Desert, as he will drop Leebur's Soul, which is a Key Item that, when used, will permanently reveal the locations of all other Legendary Animals on the map.
As stated above, Black Fang will only spawn as part of the Hernand Faction Quests. You can find this quest under "House Celeste" with the "Silence from Afar" quest. You will only obtain this quest if you complete enough Hernand Faction Quests, not including the bounty hunts. Therefore, you should prioritise Faction Quests across Hernand until this one pops in.
How to Track the Legendary Wolf in Crimson Desert

- The Legendary Wolf can be found in the Forest of Wolves in Hernandian Territory.
- The mission associated with the Legendary Wolf is "Howls from North Gate", which is acquired in the House Celeste Faction Quests. You can get this quest simply by completing enough Hernand Faction Quests.
- The Legendary Wolf is specifically found north of The Sage's Peak, which we've marked on the map above.
Once you arrive in the Forest of Wolves, you're going to need to equip your Lantern and use L1 to activate it. You must now follow the golden line, but if the golden line begins to fade, simply hold your lantern out for long enough and look at the ground to strengthen the tracking.
We found the Legendary Wolf specifically in the map marked above, and we'll have a boss guide for fighting him below. However, once you beat him for the first time, he will disappear, and you'll be required to find and beat him for a second and final time.

For the second time, we found the Legendary Wolf in the Forest of Wolves again, this time in the eastern area of The Sage's Peak (marked on the map above). This second fight is a bit more brutal, but luckily, there are no other wolves to deal with here.
How to Beat Black Fang, the Legendary Wolf in Crimson Desert
- Black Fang utilizes teleports and hard-hitting slashes.
- You should focus on rolling out of the way of his attacks, then waiting for him to stand still, so you can attack with Blinding Flash Finisher (L1+R1+R2).
- Black Fang's teleporting can be pretty extreme, and his invulnerable move will see him shroud the arena in darkness as he tries to claw and juggle you, but quick evasion tactics will ensure that he's no trouble.
You should always be bringing healing items to recover health in a boss battle!
