The Blood Coronation quest in Crimson Desert seems easy at first, but it can get hard very quickly when you get to the memory part. A lot of players get stuck not because the game is hard, but because of how the memory system works in this mission. You might have to start the whole sequence over again if you miss just one step.
This guide will show you exactly how to finish the Crimson Desert Blood Coronation quest, with a special focus on how to get through the hard memory part without failing it.
Where the Blood Coronation Quest Begins

Chapter 8 takes place in the capital of Demeniss. Your goal is to search Duke Caliburn’s old office for clues about Myurdin.
When you get to the city, expect trouble. Guards will attack you as soon as they see you, but you don’t have to worry about what will happen. You can choose to fight or sneak through, but don’t let anyone grab you because that will reset your position.
To find the old office, go up the stairs inside the palace. Don’t get confused while looking because it looks more like a big hall than a regular room.
How to Trigger the Memory Correctly

This is where a lot of players start to mess up.
To start the Crimson Desert Read the Memory on the Blood Coronation mission, grab your lantern and look at the glowing memory point in the office. Keep the memory locked on until the interaction is over.
Do not leave once the scene starts. Let the whole sequence happen.
After the first memory ends, turn on the Visione helmet to get into the memory state correctly. This step is very important for moving forward.
The Most Important Rule: Do Not Exit the Memory

This is the part that makes people the most angry.
You must always stay in vision mode during the Blood Coronation Crimson Desert memory sequence. Don’t cancel it, don’t exit it by hand, and don’t stop the flow.
If you leave the memory at any time:
- The ghost trail is gone.
- The goal stops
- You need to go back to the office and start over.
As soon as the memory starts up again, follow the ghost figures as they leave the room and go down to the lower floor.
Following the Memory to the Audience Chamber

Your next goal, after the office scene, is to get to the audience chamber while still being inside the memory.
Just follow the ghostly figures down the stairs. They will naturally lead you, so don’t take any extra turns.
When you get there, you’ll see a lot of ghostly figures in the hall. Not all of them are important, so don’t waste time talking to everyone.
How to Complete the “Read the Memory” Step

To finish Crimson Desert To read the Memory on the Blood Coronation, you have to talk to three specific nobles in the audience chamber.
This is how to find them:
- They shine brighter than other ghosts.
- There is a clear “Examine” prompt on them.
- They look a little different, which makes them stand out.
Go up to each one and listen to what they are saying. Don’t skip or leave in the middle.
The memory will move on automatically after all three interactions are done.
What Happens After the Memory

After all the conversations are over, a big cutscene starts that shows what happened during the coronation massacre.
You are thrown into a boss fight with Gabriel Caliburn right away.
Keep this in mind:
- You are not supposed to win this fight.
- For a short time, just think about staying alive.
- Don’t waste things like high-level healing items.
After a short time, the fight will end on its own, and the story will move on to the next part.
Common Mistakes That Break the Quest
This mission is less about combat and more about precision. Here are the most common errors players make:
- Exiting the memory too early
- Removing the Visione helmet mid-sequence
- Not following the ghosts properly
- Missing one of the three nobles in the chamber
Any of these will force you to restart the memory from the beginning.
