To enter the unreachable village, you need to speak with the Shai and retrieve a relic for her in Crimson Desert. The method is quite easy, but it's time-consuming as you need to travel around the mysterious village to reach the relic location. Here's how to enter the unreachable village and speak with Shai in Crimson Desert.
How To Get A Pet In Crimson Desert
Sheltering a pet will allow players to have an automatic looter in Crimson Desert.
The Unreachable Village Quest In Crimson Desert
The Unreachable Village is a side quest that triggers once you set foot in the territory of the Shai's village, Pororin. Upon approaching the children, some will shoot a dart at the character, making them pass out.
Next, a small cutscene will start where two Shai are dragging the body somewhere away from the village. The same thing will repeat every time you try to enter the village. To avoid being knocked out, players must find a Shai and speak with her to start the Unreachable Village quest in Crimson Desert.
How To Talk To The Shai In Crimson Desert
After waking up near a tent on the outskirts of the village, head slightly southeast to find the Shai surrounded by animals near a big tree.
Speak with Arkin, and she'll ask players to retrieve a relic for her. In exchange, she will tell you how to enter the village freely. Apparently, the relic is precious to the chief, and she wants to get it back before anyone notices. You need to get it from her friend's head. Arkin asks you to follow her to the friend's location.
How To Get The Pororin Relic In Crimson Desert
Upon opening the map to figure out where Arkin's friend is, players will find out that the marked location is far away from the village. Also, you can't follow the mark directly, as that will force you to go through the village again. Instead, go around the village and proceed to the marked location or teleport to the nearby waypoint and follow the mark. Players can always summon their horse to reach the location faster.
At the location, Arkin's friend turns out to be a giant walking tree, and the relic is on top of its head. What players need to do is climb one of the legs and wait for the tree to raise it so they can rest and restore stamina. Next, cling to the torso and continue climbing up to eventually grab the Pororin Relic.
Jump from the head and go to the nearby cliff to speak with Arkin one last time, completing the Unreachable Village quest in Crimson Desert. Now, players are free to return to the mysterious village, Pororin, and explore it fully as it will become accessible.
