Why your Lantern is glowing blue in Crimson Desert, explained

In recent times, games have become bigger than ever. The quality of the content doesn’t even matter anymore, so long as a title has as much stuff in it as possible, coherent or not.

Crimson Desert, while it pays special heed to the quality of its content, is a game that genuinely has so many things in it that it becomes super difficult to keep track of it all. One mechanic, which has players confused with no proper explanation, is your Lantern suddenly emitting a blue glow when you pass through certain areas.

Since you’ve almost certainly seen this at least once, here’s what it means exactly.

If you’ve walked by an area and suddenly saw your Lantern glow blue, it is because you’ve come near a memory fragment, which can be interacted with for new information, either about a specific task or just the lore and the world of Pywel. Once your Lantern starts glowing, you need to use it and point it toward the memory, which you will sometimes have to search a bit for.

Once you’ve pointed it at the memory, showing up in the game as blurry figures moving around, you’re going to concentrate on it until the learning bar fills up. Once it does, equip the Visione helmet you got from one of the main quests and then hit the prompt given to you on the bottom right of your screen (ESC button for PC users).

By doing so, you will have entered the memory fragment and will be able to watch the memory unfold, providing you with extra context or information and allowing you to see Pywel from another’s perspective, even if it doesn’t end up giving you the extra knowledge necessary to complete a quest.

Memory fragments can be found just about anywhere in the world, though I’ve most often come across them in areas that experienced some strong emotions, such as grave sites, burned buildings, the St. Halssius House of Healing, and so on.

The Salvatore bounty is one of the latter set of contracts in Crimson Desert, and you’ll need to capture the outlaw to bring him to justice. However, the job is easier said than done, as you’ll need to find him from his hideout. That comes after you accept the poster that states the details of the bounty on offer.

This guide will help you to complete the bounty that involves tracking down and catching Salvatore.

How to start Salvatore bounty in Crimson Desert

Like all bounties, the one for Salvatore can be found in Hernand City. You can look for such lamp posts all around Hernand City. You can also find the bounty on the notice board in the city. The notice board will be highlighted with a purple icon on the map.

Once you find the poster, it will provide you with all the necessary information for finding Salvatore. His hideout is located in the southernmost part of Hernand near the Sunset Valley. Once you head to Sunset Valley, go to the back of the town. Here, you’ll find the windmill.

You can enter the windmill using the main door, and Salvatore can be found there.

Once you enter the windmill, you’ll find Salvatore over there. He will try to flee upon seeing you. Get close to tackle him down, and tie him up. Then, pick and carry him to the nearest constabulary in Hernand. Make sure to deliver him alive, as that will increase the total rewards that you receive.

When you complete this bounty, you’ll get 12 Silver as your reward (reduced if he dies in the process).
