This article will guide the player on how to activate the ancient generator in Crimson Desert. This is part of the main quest Kiln Repair at the Kilnden Workshop.
Activate the ancient generator
As the quest starts, your main task is to activate the ancient generator tower. To do this, you need to match glowing symbols in the same line on the tower. The tower has rings that can rotate. Each ring has symbols on it.

You must line up 4 matching glowing symbols in the same vertical line.
- The bottom and top symbols are already correct.
- Players only need to fix the two symbols in the middle rings.
In front of the tower, you will see a yellow glowing switch/lever. Use this switch to choose which ring you want to move. After selecting a ring, use the wooden lever to rotate that ring. Keep rotating it until the glowing symbol in that ring matches the others (top/bottom) symbols. Do this for both middle rings. Once all the symbols match, the generator will turn on.
- Move the yellow lever to the middle to select the third ring, then use the wooden lever to rotate the ring until the third symbol lines up with the first two.


- Move the yellow lever all the way right to select the second ring, then use the wooden lever to rotate the ring until the second glowing symbol lines up with the first.


Once all four symbols are aligned in a single vertical line, their color will turn blue. This indicates that the Ancient Generator has been successfully activated.
