To solve the Dragon’s Head Ruins puzzle near Misty Pool in Crimson Desert, you need to arrange the large stone blocks with images to form a complete image of a dragon. There are six blocks in total, all of which need to be placed at the top of the image. The bottom three blocks are already in place and are pressed into the floor, so you can’t move them. Therefore, you don’t need to add anything to the bottom row.
The location of the Dragon’s Head Ruins at Misty Pool
The Dragon’s Head Ruins at Misty Pool are located west of Kalfada and Tolvind Castle . To get there, you’ll have to climb over several mountains. When approaching the ruins, don’t descend immediately—there are several wolves nearby . If you ignore them, they may leap toward you to attack you while you’re solving the puzzle , so it’s best to eliminate the threat beforehand. You can skin and meat the wolves later.
In front of the dragon statue, you’ll see instructions for solving the Dragon Head Ruins puzzle near Misty Pool. Blocks are moved by swinging your sword with the “Thrust” skill. On a controller , it’s LB + Y or L1 + Triangle; on a PC, it’s Left Shift + RMB. As you can imagine, you’ll need to unlock the skill itself beforehand. You can also push blocks forward if there’s room, and use the “Thrust” skill to pull them sideways or toward you.
Misty Pool Dragon Head Ruins Puzzle Solution
To move the top and middle rows, you need empty spaces. Start with these steps:
- Drag the sun to the top right slot – this is its correct position.
- Move the dragon wing from the middle row to the bottom left slot (again, the bottom row should remain empty, but in this case we will first fill it with blocks that should be located in the middle row, and then move them up at the end of the solution.)
- If blocks get stuck, move them in a zigzag pattern (not just back and forth, but also left and right). You can also move other blocks to free up some space, as they may be bumping into each other.
- Place the block with the dragon’s body next to the dragon’s wing, in the middle position of the bottom row (namely the bottom).
- Move the block with the dragon’s head next to the block with the body, to the lower right corner (right position of the bottom row).
- Move the block with the dragon wing tip to the middle position of the top row.
At this point, the picture is almost complete. The top row is already correct, and all you have to do is move the bottom row toward the middle. This will reveal the images below, which will connect to the blocks you placed earlier.
Once the image is fully restored, the challenge in the Dragon’s Head Ruins near Misty Pool will be complete. The blocks will merge with the bottom row, and the room containing the Abyssal Stone will open, allowing you to collect the Abyssal Artifact hidden within.
If the cutscene doesn’t start, try to align the blocks better, as high precision is important here.
