Crimson Desert: Cradle of Defense Walkthrough | How to Raise the Banner Pike

This walkthrough will guide you through all the objectives of the Cradle of Defense main quest, where your task is to raise Banner Pike at three different locations.


In this quest, you need to push through a battlefield and capture three key areas by placing banners. Use Nature’s Grasp (Y + B) to lift each banner, then carry it carefully to the designated wooden platform. Once you reach the correct spot, press X to place the banner into its slot. Doing this will secure the area and clear out most of the enemies.
