Completing Close Threat in Crimson Desert marks the culmination of the Extinguishing the Last Flames quest. Throughout the preceding stages, players have traversed the vibrant landscape of Hernand under the guidance of Shakatu, interrogating suspects and collecting vital evidence to unveil the traitor who betrayed the guild to the bandits. As you approach this final stage, the task at hand is to resolve lingering questions and identify the guilty party.
How to complete Close Threat in Crimson Desert
After visiting all suspects and collecting the necessary items as directed by the quest, you can return to Shakatu to name a suspect. The newly appointed leader of the Goldleaf Guild requests that you select one item corresponding to each suspect’s testimony, which will either affirm their innocence or implicate them in the betrayal.
Once you have made your selections, mount your horse and navigate back along the road leading to Unicorn Cliff and the Goldleaf Guildhouse. Upon arrival, Shakatu will welcome you, and a cutscene will unfold, signaling the completion of the Extinguishing the Last Flames quest. In recognition of your efforts, you will be rewarded with a splendid cape, a prized item, along with a substantial amount of Contribution points.
