The puzzle is found in the Duskwood area, west of Hernand Castle and just northwest of the Kilnden Workshop.


How to Solve the Duskwood Waterside Ruins Puzzle in Crimson Desert
The puzzle board is set up like a giant Go board, and your goal is straightforward: create a row of five white stones in a line. Look at the board and find the mossy stone sitting in a spot that is surrounded by four white stones on each side.
Nudge the mossy stone out of that spot by pushing, kicking, or hitting it. This clears the space between the four white stones and opens up the gap you need to complete the row.

Pick up any white stone from the board, just make sure it is not one of the four white stones already forming your line. Place it into the empty spot left behind by the mossy stone.

Once the white stone is in place, you will have a complete row of five white stones, and the puzzle will be solved.
