Throughout your adventures in Crimson Desert, you will come across hidden treasures beyond Kliff’s imagination. These futuristic-looking cubes help the Greymane improve his stats and abilities (among the other characters), and to get them, you will either need to overcome specific challenges or puzzles.
One of the earlier puzzles comes in the form of the Dragon Stone Chamber. This unique puzzle doesn’t give you all the requirements to complete it right off the bat, as Kliff will need to traverse the beautiful world in order to figure it out. This guide will hopefully help you complete this puzzle without much worry.

Finding the Dragon Stone Chamber
The Dragon Stone Chamber is surprisingly well hidden, especially given how close it is to the Greymanes’ main base of operation.
As you might expect, the best time to access this chamber is when you obtain your kingdom-issued campsite. You will be right next to the Dragon Stone Chamber. All you need to do is head east, hopping over the path to get to the campsite. You will find your main house that you’re able to decorate.
There will be a giant hole in the ground, with a good diamond mining location at the bottom. Your goal is to hop down and around halfway there will be a mural painted on the side of the mountain.
Recalling the memory of the mural, you will see explorers trying to figure out what it means. All you have to do is push on the painted door, and eventually it will push the wall into a chamber.
Solving the Puzzle
This is one of the more complicated puzzles to solve only because it requires you to a handful of locations in the world to observe similarly painted murals on the side of mountains.
Down in the small pit there will be three dials that need to be turned and placed in the correct position. One looks like a sun overlooking a plant. The second looks like a chain. And finally, the third is numerous symbols.
The main clue you get is there are two maps located on the walls opposite one another. If you look closely, shining your lamp towards it, the maps have three little markings pointing towards where you need to go.
Finding the Murals
Now that you have seen the map, you will need to find the paintings on the side of the mountain. The mountain you are looking for is Anvil Hill. This is located to the northeast of your current location across the river.
All three are located on the southern face of the mountain. The first can be found south of the large Hernand base. The second is found right at the top of the river where it splits into a Y-shape (on the right side). Finally, the last painting can be found directly south of the bandit camp, just slightly northeast of the last painting.
You will need to memorize the position of the paintings and translate them back in the Chamber.
Head back to the Dragon Stone Chamber and then rotate the dials to match them, and once this is done, the door in the back will open, revealing the Abyss Cresset.
