Spire of the Stars Walkthrough

Complete the Spire of the Stars, Crimson Desert's 57th main mission. Solve the elevator puzzle by aligning symbols and grab 3 cubes.

Spire of the Stars is the 57th main mission in Crimson Desert. It is part of Chapter 4 – The Price of Knowledge, under the sub-chapter Forbidden Knowledge. You must have finished the previous main quest, Gate to the Underworld, to start this mission. There is no reward for completing this quest.

Objectives:

  1. Go to the Spire of the Stars
  2. Go to the top of the Spire of the Stars
  3. Move to the Abyss

To reach the Spire of the Stars, follow the road northeast of Scholastone Institute, past the banquet hall. You will find a staircase leading up, followed by a cave. Continue up the stairs until you reach a large stone door. Interact with the door to enter the Spire of the Stars.

After a cutscene, you will be inside the Spire of the Stars, but the elevator is not working. To power the elevator, you must solve a puzzle.

Step 1: Grab the 3 small cubes

In the side rooms to the left and right of the elevator, use Palm Force (R3 / Right Stick) on the 3 yellow walls marked with a purple icon on the minimap. These walls will reveal small cubes that you can pick up. Insert all 3 cubes into the wall sockets in front of the elevator.

Step 2: Align the 4 Elevator Symbols

Hit the activated wall sockets with Palm Force (R3 / Right Stick) to push them to the top. You must then climb up to the symbols and hang onto them until they slide down to their correct positions. The correct positions are shown on the walls in the side rooms.

  • Left Symbol = top slot
  • 2nd from left Symbol = 3rd slot from bottom
  • 3rd from left Symbol = bottom slot
  • Right Symbol = 2nd slot from bottom

Once the symbols are correctly aligned, they will stop glowing yellow, and the floor will turn blue. Step onto the elevator, and it will activate and take you to the top. Step off the elevator quickly, as it will automatically descend if you wait too long.

Keep running upstairs and enter the Abyss on the top floor to finish the Spire of the Stars mission.
