Do you want to reveal the world map in Crimson Desert? Pearl Abyss’ open-world-adventure RPG takes place in a vast realm known as Pywel. The continent itself is filled with lush countrysides, harsh deserts, and frozen mountain peaks. Of course, you hardly know what’s waiting for you on the horizon, so you probably want to understand the lay of the land first by ringing bell towers. Our guide has you covered, so sit back, relax, and get ready for a few spoilers along the way.
Hernand Bell Tower
You can reveal the world map in Crimson Desert by–believe it or not–ringing bell towers in various towns and settlements. There are eight of these in total, and they’re all tied to the Pororin Forest Guardians faction. Here’s the gist:
- Early in the campaign, your character, Kliff, meets a Shai child in the town of Hernand. You then rescue their cat, and you’re told to find them later on.
- Now, if you look at your surroundings, you’ll realize that a bell tower is nearby.
- Climb the tower and ring the bell. Once you do that, another Shai child will appear. They’ll help you out by revealing various points-of-interest in the region of Hernand.
From this point onward, you should definitely look for the remaining bell towers in other regions. Some might require you to advance through the main story first.
Scholastone Bell Tower
The Scholastone bell tower is at the end of the institute’s promenade. You visit this town during Chapter 4 and can actually ring the bell fairly early. However, because there are other people around, the Shai child won’t appear.
Later, once you’re done with the main objective, you can revisit the bell tower to trigger the cutscene. Note that Scholastone has its own research projects tree as well. One of the discoveries even lets you max out your health past the limit.
