Reward for Their Sweat is the 33rd main mission in Crimson Desert. This quest shifts the focus from combat to supporting your camp and the people who helped build it. In this mission, you’ll prepare and serve a Modest Clear Soup. This guide will walk you through all the steps in cooking Modest Clear Soup, and completing.

Check the cooking recipe
As the quest starts, head southeast of Hernand to reach Serkis Estate. Once you arrive, move to the right side of the large tent where you’ll find a small table with a recipe letter.
Important: If the recipe is not there, exit and reload your save or restart the game.


Interact with the letter, pick it up, and hold L1 to read it. This will unlock a new recipe for Modest Clear Soup.

Make Modest Clear Soup (0/2)
To prepare Modest Clear Soup, you’ll need 1 x Tough Meat, 1 x Barley, and 1 x Water. All three ingredients can be found on the same table where you picked up the recipe.

Once you have them, go to the cooking pot and press X to start cooking. In the menu, use R1 and L1 to switch to the soup section, then scroll down and select Modest Clear Soup. Press X to cook, and when prompted, choose a quantity of at least 2 to complete the objective.

Serve a feast
Once you’ve successfully cooked the clear soup, head over to the table where everyone is sitting. As you approach, a cutscene will begin to end the quest.
