Simon de Montfort Location in Crimson Desert

The target is located in the southwest part of Hernand, near a roadside beehive close to Lake Kharonso. It is far from the main city, and getting there is the hardest part of the mission.
Most direct routes are blocked. You may run into areas like Fort Perwin or the Bismuth trail where enemies and obstacles slow you down. Instead of forcing your way through, take a safer detour.
A reliable path is to travel toward the southwest highlands near Senia and then move west. Stick close to the mountains and climb over rocks to bypass blocked roads. This route is longer, but you avoid unnecessary fights and save time overall.
If you reach the marked area and do not see him immediately, wait for a bit. He can take time to appear, but he will show up within the zone.

Unlike other targets, Simon does not engage in a proper fight. He usually tries to run the moment he notices you.
Here is the simplest way to capture him:
- Get close enough to set off the tackle prompt.
- Hold him down
- Get a few controlled hits in
- Wait for the tie-up prompt and keep him safe.
Don’t go overboard with the attacks. The goal is to make him weaker, not kill him. Once he is tied up, pick him up and put him on your horse.
Safest Route Back to Hernand

Most players have trouble getting back with the target. You can’t fast travel while you have a bounty, so you have to ride all the way back.
If you got through blocked paths, don’t go back the same way. Instead, take a safer path:
- Go north and then east from where you caught it.
- Go in the direction of the Scholastone Institute area.
- Carefully go down the slopes and rocky paths.
- To keep your horse safe, stay away from steep drops.
Stay on the roads as much as you can and don’t stop for every enemy you see. It’s safer and faster to ride through than to fight everything.
If you come across blocked paths, you can use abilities like Focus Force Palm to get through, but you don’t have to if you take the mountain route.
