If you’re stuck trying to destroy the red smoke source in Crimson Desert, you’re not alone. This part of the quest can be confusing because normal attacks don’t work. Here’s a simple guide to help you complete it quickly.
Where to Find the Red Smoke
You’ll encounter this objective in the northern area of Pauline. There are multiple spots where you need to locate and destroy the source of the red smoke. Finding the locations is fairly straightforward. The tricky part is figuring out how to destroy the object.
How to Destroy the Red Smoke Source
The red smoke source cannot be destroyed using regular heavy attacks. Instead, you need to use a specific move.
Approach the red object and use your stab skill by pressing your sprint button together with your heavy attack. This will drive your weapon into the object. After the stab, your character will pull the weapon out, causing red fluid to leak out. Wait a few seconds, and the object will be destroyed.
