Forbidden Knowledge Walkthrough: Crimson Desert Chapter 4 Guide The third segment of Chapter 4 in Crimson Desert’s main story, titled Forbidden Knowledge, involves quests that send the player to the Scholastone Institute and the Abyss via the Spire of Stars. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for overcoming challenges at Scholastone and navigating the Spire of the Stars. If you’re struggling with specific parts of the questline, use the links below to jump to dedicated sections: The Words of Alustin quest returns the player to the City of Hernand. As they walk through the city, a messenger delivers a letter from the wizard Alustin, instructing them to investigate Scholastone, a research institute located in the frosty western reaches of Hernand. While in Hernand, a noble near the overlook offers a side quest to build a Goddess of Abundance statue at the Nas River Fishing Dock. This task can be completed with the help of Greymane comrades, and similar requests will appear as the player explores further. Dispatching Freeswords to handle these tasks allows the player to focus on the main story. Access to Scholastone requires a disguise, which Alustin provides. The player must visit the fence Alustin mentioned to receive the Scholastone Uniform. The building is located in the town square near the bell tower. Once inside, speaking to the goblin upstairs grants the uniform, enabling the journey westward to the institute. Scholastone is situated in a freezing region of Hernand, where cold temperatures significantly reduce stamina recovery. Players should wear armor with Ice Resistance and consume items like Beer to mitigate the effects. The Frostcursed Armor set is ideal for this environment but requires exploration of dangerous areas to obtain.#scholastone_institute #abyss #spire_of_stars #city_of_hernand #scholastone_uniform
