This article will guide players on how to complete all the objectives of the main quest Gate to the Otherworld, in Crimson Desert.
Starting Location
Listen to Octavius, the orc scholar wearing a blue robe to start the quest.
Reaching the Underground Device
As the experiment starts, head to the right of the spherical structure and look for a path lined with lanterns and going downstairs. Follow the stairs to reach the underground area.
Activating the Lock Device
At the bottom, you will find a hatch that looks like a wall panel between two lanterns. Interact with it to begin a button puzzle.
The solution to the puzzle is to press all four corner buttons first, then press the center button. Refer to the image below. This will light up all the buttons on the hatch.
After solving it, interact with the panel again to pull the handle. This will trigger a cutscene where the machine powers up.
Returning to the Plaza
Head back upstairs to the spherical structure. You will now see four pillars arranged around a central device, each with a slot for a battery. There are 4 batteries placed nearby. To power the device, you need to place all four batteries into the pillars.
Inserting the Batteries
- Use Axiom Force to pick up a battery and move it in front of a pillar socket.
- Release it so it floats near the socket, then use Force Palm to push it into the pillar.
Once a battery is inserted correctly, the structure will emit a beam of energy toward the central device.
Boss Fight: Tenebrum
Once all batteries are placed, the portal activates, and a void entity called Tenebrum appears.
To defeat it:
- Use Blinding Flash to reveal its weak point. Then hide behind the pillar to avoid its attack.
- When Tenebrum waits for the right opportunity to move toward the center of the arena.
- Attack using Force Palm. You need to land 3 successful hits to defeat the Tenebrum.
