All New Power Boss Locations

Find all 7 New Power bosses in Crimson Desert, including Skevald, Black Fang, White Horn, and Karanda. Required for Primal Frenzy and Beast Slayer trophy.

There are 7 New Power Locations in Crimson Desert. Defeating all New Power bosses is needed for the “Primal Frenzy” exploration Challenge and Beast Slayer trophy & achievement. It’s also one of the requirements for the Expert Explorer trophy & achievement.

The New Power category won’t appear in the challenge menu until you reach Chapter 12, regardless of how many of the bosses you defeat beforehand. Once the category appears it will retroactively count any you had already dealt with. Some bosses can be fought at any time, but most require doing faction quests in the region where they are located.

New Power #1: King of Corpses (Skevald, the Carrion King)

Skevald, the Carrion King is a hyena found in Tashkalp Town. Pick up a bounty notice from Tommaso to receive the Faction Quest Skevald, the Carrion King. This marks the Hyena Den southeast of Tashkalp Town. Use your lantern to follow tracks. Skevald deals poison damage and is often surrounded by other hyenas; clear them first. After its first health bar depletes, track it again with your lantern on the same path. Defeating it yields 1x Putrid Touch and 1x Abyss Artifact.

New Power #2: Dark Shadow (Black Fang)

Black Fang is a large wolf found in Hernand. Complete Hernand Faction Quests until you receive the quest group Legendary Wolf. After speaking with a soldier at Hernand North Gate, you get the quest Howls from the North Gate, marking a nearby location. Find Black Fang among a large group of wolves. Black Fang fights like a human, allowing for blocks and parries. After its first health bar depletes, track it west toward Howling Hollow. Use your lantern to spot tracks. Rewards: Leebur’s Soul, 1x Shadow Claw, and 1x Abyss Artifact.
