Crimson Desert Trial After Trial - Read the Memory on the Cows Whereabouts

One of the first strange interactions for a quest in Crimson Desert comes in the Trail After Trail quest. This might be better known as read the memory on the cow's whereabouts. If you are here, then you know why, and don't worry, you'll feel as silly as we did.

When we learn about the memory mechanic, it seems simple, but sometimes it can be a little confusing. Don't worry though, you're in the right place!

Trial After Trial

First up, follow the witness to the bandit hideout. On the way, you will come across an Abyss Artifact location. Clear out the camp, and then we need to find out more about the cows. Follow the steps below to complete the quest.

1. Get out your lantern using L1/LB/F2 and then look at the area. You need to focus on the cow for the progress bar to fill up
2. Next, look at the bronze urn that is letting out the gas, and once again let the bar fill up
3. Open the equipment menu again (L1/LB/F2) and select the Visione and choose "Play"
4. Now, select the "Missing Cow" memory
5. This will play a memory of what happened to the cow and complete this part of the quest

Yeah, that's how that works. It's not obvious, and the game doesn't give you much of a hint if you miss the "chime" sound that it makes. As a note for the future, this is how 90% of these quests work; the Visione is a key part of the memory game. We suspect it will get patched at some point.

Now, head back to Bremer for an update on his cows. He will give us a small reward before asking us to deal with the bandits. Continue with the other "help" quests in the area from the board. These are all linked quests, mostly acting as a tutorial for the message board system.
