All Maze Locations & Solutions

There are 4 Maze Locations (Winding Paths Challenges) in Crimson Desert, categorized under Exploration. Completing all of them unlocks the Maze Pathfinder trophy & achievement. Each maze involves solving an environmental puzzle, similar to Ancient Ruins but more complex. Solving a puzzle activates a nearby Abyss Cresset, rewarding you with an Abyss Artifact and a fast travel point. Mazes are marked on the map by white search areas with a question mark icon (“?”), and can be highlighted with the Lantern (L1 / LB / CTRL) or Guiding Light (L1+R1 / LB+RB / CTRL + Left Click).

Maze 1: Maze of Burhum

Located in the town of Burhum. The tallest tower contains the Cresset. A shorter tower to the southeast has a hole in the wall midway up. Use Force Palm ( / Mouse Wheel) on the button inside this room to activate it and obtain the first Engraved Stone. Cross the bridge to the taller tower, go to the balcony with beds, and find the next button under the covered section to get the second Engraved Stone. Continue climbing the taller tower to an entrance near a hanging basket. Hit the button inside for the final Engraved Stone. Climb to the top of the tower, drop through the hole, and insert the three stones into the slots to complete the maze.

Maze 2: Maze of Dawnreach

Located in the town of Dawnreach. The mechanic involves pushing three leaning towers back straight using Force Palm, requiring all three Force Palm upgrades for consecutive hits. Push the northern leaning tower from the rooftop of the building it leans on, then enter a hole in the wall below the rooftop to find a button for the first Engraved Stone. Push the southern tower from the wooden walkway, enter the revealed room, and push the button for the second Engraved Stone. Go to the east side, push the final leaning tower, and place the two engraved stones in the walls to activate the Cresset and complete the maze.

Maze 3: Ancient Rift Maze

Located in the Ancient Rift area, northeast of Trovak Camp. Use Focus Light ( + > hold / + > hold / CTRL + Left Click > CTRL) on pillars to open rooms and obtain Engraved Stones. Approaching from the south, use Focus Light on the third pillar of the first wall to open a door. Push the large button on the pillar inside to get the first Engraved Stone. Jump down to the door on the left with three pillars and use Focus Light on the first pillar for the second Engraved Stone. Climb back up one level, look left for another door, and use Focus Light twice each on the far left and far right pillars for the third Engraved Stone. Drop to the lowest level and move towards the “?” area. At the dead end, use the three Engraved Stones in the wall slots to access the Cresset and complete the maze.

Maze 4: Smoking Lands Desert Mouth Maze

Located southwest of Crimson Desert, north of Hexe Sanctuary. Solve by flipping sun/moon doors using Force Palm ( / Mouse Wheel) or Force Current skill until they are lit up, matching the map on the ground. All doors except the one on the south need to be flipped. The door in the northwest edge requires dropping through a hole in the ground and following a path to find the door above. After flipping all necessary doors, access the Cresset to complete the maze.
