The Acria Sword in Crimson Desert is hidden inside a manor with a proper puzzle sequence standing between the player and the blade. It is not marked, it is not handed out through a quest, and the steps involved are layered enough that stumbling onto it by accident is unlikely. The whole process runs through Stellan Manor, a location north of Hernand.

Getting the sword means solving a piano strongbox puzzle, finding a hidden key, triggering a secret mechanism in the master bedroom, and working through a bookshelf door into the cellar below. Each step leads into the next, and the Acria Sword in Crimson Desert is waiting at the very end of that chain.

Steps to unlock the Acria Sword in Crimson Desert

1) Finding Stellan Manor north of Hernand

The starting point is Stellan Manor, which sits north of Hernand Town. From Hernand, follow the route up past Rocker Hills, pass the Hook Rapids, and continue through the Hills of No Return. Follow the river going north from there, and the manor appears at the end of that stretch.

Entry is through the window on the north side of the manor. Climb in, and the first room is a dining room. The Strongbox is immediately on the right after coming through the window.

2) Solving the Strongbox puzzle

The Strongbox has five keys on the bottom row and three keys on the top row. The sequence needs to be pressed in the correct order to unlock it. Going from left to right, the keys are numbered 1 through 5 on the bottom and 1 through 3 on the top.

The correct sequence is:

• Bottom row, key 1: Far left, press it.
• Bottom row, key 3: Move two across and press.
• Bottom row, key 4: One more across and press.
• Bottom row, key 2: Step back one and press.
• Bottom row, key 1: Return to the first key and press.
• Top row, key 3: Move to the middle key on the top row and press.
• Top row, key 4 (rightmost): Move to the last key on the top row and press.

Completing the sequence unlocks the strongbox, which contains the Stellan Manor closet key.

3) Reaching the master bedroom handwheel and the secret table

With the closet key in hand, head through the door into the main area of the house and up to the master bedroom on the second floor. Inside is a closet that the key opens. Behind the closet door is a handwheel. Grab it and begin pressing down on the D input on your PC or the equivalent button to activate it. The floor in the room starts to lower, revealing a secret table hidden underneath with a book sitting on it.

Lower the floor only about halfway to make the table accessible. Jump onto the table and pick up the book, then jump back down.

4) Placing the book and getting into the cellar

Head downstairs with the book. There is a bookshelf on the ground floor, and inspect it using the lantern. An indicator will show the slot where the book belongs. Place it in, and the bookshelf swings open, revealing a hidden door in the back – the final room where the Acria Sword in Crimson Desert awaits.

Go through into the storage room behind it. From there, move along behind the barrels to reach the cellar below. The cellar has a makeshift torch chamber setup at the back of the room. The Acria Sword in Crimson Desert is in the lower shelf at the far end. Walk up and take it.

The Acria Sword is a one-handed weapon with a base Attack of 19 +4, Critical Rate at Lv 2 +2, and Attack Speed at Lv 0 -2. It sells for 10.97 silver and comes with two Abyss Gear slots pre-filled with Attack 1 and Critical Rate 1.
