The Man Trapped in the Mire is the 22nd main mission in Crimson Desert, during Chapter 2: Golden Greed. In this mission, you’ll hear a rancher’s troubling story about bandits harming his livestock. This guide will walk you through every objective and help you complete the quest.
Speak with the enraged man
As the quest begins, head southwest from Hernand City and follow the marker on your map to reach a ranch. There, you’ll meet an NPC named Ibano. Speak with him to learn that bandits have cut off the valuable horns of his goats.
Read the memory on the mysterious horn thief
Head east from the ranch to the destination marked on the map to reach the bandit camp. Defeat the group of bandits at the camp.
To find and read the memory about the Hornless Goat, start by heading to the center of the camp. Next, you need to equip and use your lantern to find the memory, and then the Visione Helmet to read the memory.
Discover the Memory Using the Lantern
First, open your equipment quick wheel and go to the weapon section. Then highlight the lantern and then press A on Xbox or X on PlayStation to turn ON your lantern.
Now, use your lantern to find the memory fragments in the camp. Press LB on the controller and shine the light around the camp to scan the surroundings. As you move around, look for the right angle where the memory or shadow-like traces start to appear. Keep scanning the area until the memory is fully learned.
Equip the Visione Helmet to read the Memory
After finding the memory, open your equipment quick wheel again and go to the armor section. Hover over the headgear and use LT/RT on the controller to find and equip the Vizion helmet. Then, click the Visione helmet from the inventory and manually select the memory.
Once it is equipped, press A on Xbox or X on PlayStation to open the secondary menu. From there, choose to play the memory fragment, select the nearby memory, and pick “Hornless Goat” to view it.
Once activated, the memory will reveal what happened to the Goat and provide the information needed to progress further in the mission.
Find the stolen item
Pick up the Mysterious Elixir found on a rock at the campsite.
Return to Ibano
Finally, return to Ibano, but he won’t be at his original location. He has moved to a farm in Hernand, so check the marked spot on your map. Head there and speak with him to complete the quest.
