So you’ve been wandering around in Crimson Desert<\/a> and met a very suspicious stranger, who handed you the Lost Letter<\/strong> before disappearing into thin air. Well, now what? That’s a good question, and you’re not given any hints as to what the stranger wants or how to even read the Lost Letter.<\/p>\n

Your natural reaction was probably to check your inventory, only to come up short-handed. That’s not a problem with you; it’s Crimson Desert’s confusing UI. So, here’s what you need to do with the Lost Letter.<\/p>\n

How to read the Lost Letter in Crimson Desert<\/h2>\n

Open your inventory, and you’ll see a row of purple ‘key items’ at the top, including things like the Visione (if you have it), bounty posters, and Sealed Abyss Artifacts<\/a>. However, these aren’t singular items; they’re actually hidden categories and drop-downs. <\/p>\n

You need to select the ‘document’ key item category <\/strong>between the posters and bounty posters. Here you’ll find the Sealed Letter from earlier in the main story, the mysterious Lost Letter, and any other letters you may have, in a column to the left of your inventory window.<\/p>\n

Select the Lost Letter and examine it to read it. Kliff will translate all the gibberish, and you’ll learn what the stranger had to say. I’m sorry to break the news, but these Lost Letters (there are multiple of them) are basically just tutorials and tips. The first one I received was about how stamina works\u2026 which I’d already figured out for the most part by the time I read the note.<\/p>\n

While it’s a bit underwhelming, at least you know more about how the UI works. You’ll use this same process often during quests or when examining key items you get given.<\/p>\n
