How to complete Alec’s Request in Crimson Desert and catch a Leopard Perch

Alec’s Request is one of the several Greymane faction quests you can complete in Crimson Desert, and it involves catching a Leopard Perch. This is one of the more beginner-friendly tasks that can be unlocked pretty early in the game. While you’ll ideally need a fishing rod for this task, you can also use your hands to catch the specific fish (in this case, it’s the Leopard Perch).

Let’s look at how to complete the request without much of a problem.

Crimson Desert Alec’s Request quest walkthrough

Once you have unlocked your Greymane camp after Chapter 3, you can begin this quest. To begin the quest, you need to speak with Alex near the forge. He will tell you about a mistake he made in not letting Ronnie cook/grill fish using the same forge. Now, he wants to set it right, and for that, you have to catch a Leopard Perch for him, which will then be turned into a grilled fish.

Thankfully, the location of the Perch will be marked. You’ll ideally need a fishing pole to catch the fish. However, you can also attempt with your hand. You’ll find Perches in the shallow water, but it’s not guaranteed. If you’re lucky, you could end up catching the fish in your first attempt.

Once you catch the fish, make sure to add it to your inventory. If you lose/sell the item, the quest will get stuck in a bug, and it will remain incomplete forever. Take the fish safely back to the camp and speak once again with Alec at the forge.

You’ll then hand over the fish to him, which completes the quest. Not only do you get a few rewards for your efforts, but you also get +50 trust with the NPC.

Realistic FPS title Road to Vostok is coming soon to PC players via Steam, and not long is left for the upcoming launch to go live. Set in a zone between Finland and Russia, the title will test your survival skills.

But first, let’s look at when Road to Vostok goes live worldwide.

Road to Vostok release countdown

Road to Vostok will be dropping worldwide on Tuesday, April 7. There won’t be any console launch, and the following countdown will expire once the game goes live.

The countdown is based on the following timings.

• 7am PT
• 9am CT
• 10am ET
• 3pm UTC
• 4pm CET

The timings mentioned here are based on the information available in SteamDB. Any change to the launch timings will be duly updated on this guide.

What to expect from Road to Vostok

Road to Vostok aims to be a hyper-realistic survival shooter that’s set in a post-apocalyptic world. There are different zones, as everyone starts in Area 05. This deserted zone is close to Finland, and it’s relatively safe for survival. Your journey will go past the Border Zone into Vostok, and it will be anything but easy.

The Border Zone will have its own set of challenges with nature and man-made forces trying to thwart your journey. Vostok, in comparison, will be a high-risk, high-reward zone. Vostok is also a permadeath game where you’ll lose everything if you die. However, it’s also the same place where you’ll find the best loot.

While looting is your key to success, you have to be mindful of the dynamic nature of the maps. Different times of the day will have different worries, as will the weather and seasons. Dynamic events will also be taking place, raising challenges along the way.

With plenty of customization options in place, you can make your survival your very own. While survival won’t be easy, Road to Vostok aims to be a true hardcore sandbox experience where there’s no one single way of playing.

If you want to check it out, there’s a free demo that’s currently available on Steam.
