All Bow Challenges in Crimson Desert (& How to Beat Them)

There are a total of 6 Bow Challenges (Goyen’s Advice) for you to complete in Crimson Desert. Each of these challenges can be unlocked by finding specific Sealed Abyss Artifacts, which we have the locations for below, so you can see exactly where to get them.

We’ve also placed the correct rewards and unlock requirements into this guide, along with helpful tips that will ensure you complete the Bow Challenge without fail. There are only 6 challenges to master, and with a sharp arrow, anything is possible.

How to Get & Complete Bow Aimed at Fate I in Crimson Desert

• How to Get: Obtained from the Sealed Abyss Artifact found at Blenbright Farm, Hernad. Located far south of the “D” in “Hernand” to the west of the actual farmhouse.
• Challenge: Defeat 5 enemies with a bow within 60 seconds.
• Reward: x1 Abyss Artifact

Bow Aimed at Fate I is easily completed with Explosive Arrows, especially in Hernand, as enemies are far weaker here than elsewhere. You can also upgrade the bow’s damage through refinement or the Marksmanship Skill.

Simply gather up a group of enemies and fire your arrows to kill them, as you have just 60 seconds before the timer resets. However, with upgrades, they should die from an Explosive Arrow in a single hit.

How to Get & Complete Bow Aimed at Fate II in Crimson Desert

• How to Get: Obtained from the Sealed Abyss Artifact found in the south region of the Deepfog Basin. Head north of the “A” in “Hernand” to the lake that’s southeast of the Calphade Outpost.
• Challenge: Defeat 7 enemies in a row using only normal arrows.
• Reward: x1 Abyss Artifact, x1 Faded Abyss Artifact

Equip normal arrows to complete this challenge. To easily ensure it unlocks, make sure you’re fighting enemies in Hernand. Charged Shot and Evasive Shot are useful skills here, but so is simple Abyss Gears with your bow.

Increase Critical Rate and Attack with your bow through Abyss Gears to enhance the damage and ensure it kills enemies faster, and make sure you don’t use a weapon that isn’t a bow, so you can defeat 7 enemies in a row.

How to Get & Complete Bow Aimed at Fate III in Crimson Desert

• How to Get: Obtained from the Sealed Abyss Artifact found at the Beighen Candlery, just a short walk southeast of the actual building itself when facing the river, far east from the “P” in “Pailune”.
• Challenge: Hit 3 enemies in mid-air with a bow.
• Reward: x1 Abyss Artifact, x1 Insight I

If you touch the ground during this challenge, the counter resets, so you have to ensure all enemies are hit in mid-air. This also does not work with splash damage from explosive arrows, as it has to be three separate arrows on three separate targets.

Perform a double jump, then use Force Palm (R3) three times to gain the most height possible and hit Square/X to open your wings. With your wings open, use L2 to slow time and aim the bow, and use aim assist to target enemies and shoot them one at a time. Height is everything, so try this on top of a building.

How to Get & Complete Bow Aimed at Fate IV in Crimson Desert

• How to Get: Obtained from the Sealed Abyss Artifact found in the Valley of Grief, west of the Well of Reflection, and south of the final “R” in “Forebearer’s Barrens” in the Crimson Desert.
• Challenge: Take down 3 birds from over 15 meters away with a bow.
• Reward: x1 Abyss Artifact, x1 Faded Abyss Artifact, x1 Aptitude I

Birds will always be over 15 meters away as they’re high in the sky. You can use Focused Shot to make this challenge easier, as you’re going to need to aim and fire at birds.

Finding them is easy, as the Crimson Desert region always has vultures flying around. However, if you can’t find any, then head to Hernand and disturb the birds by shooting trees, and then enter Focused Shot to slow time and shoot them as they escape.

How to Get & Complete Bow Aimed at Fate V in Crimson Desert

• How to Get: Obtained from the Sealed Abyss Artifact found in the Kingshield Mountains of Demeniss, far north of the “D” in “Demeniss” and southeast of Beighen.
• Challenge: Defeat 5 enemies at once from over 20 meters away with a bow.
• Reward: x1 Abyss Artifact, x1 Greater Infinite Arrows

Explosive Arrows will make this challenge far easier to complete, as you will only have one shot to make this work. It’s made even harder as enemies must be 20 meters away, so tag the enemies on the map and back away until you’re at an appropriate distance.

In Delesyia, there are plenty of flying robot wasps that stick together in swarms, so one explosive shot in these heavy groups will be enough to complete this challenge. Try looking for areas in Delesyia in need of liberation!

How to Get & Complete Bow Aimed at Fate VI in Crimson Desert

• How to Get: Obtained from the Sealed Abyss Artifact found in the Sequoia Forest, east of the “P” in “Pailune” along the river near the Ridgepath Post.
• Challenge: Hit 5 enemies using Focused Shot.
• Reward: x1 Abyss Artifact, x1 Faded Abyss Artifact, x1 Compuser I

This is perhaps the easiest Bow Challenge, as all you need to do is unlock Focused Shot as a Skill and use it on 5 different enemies. This doesn’t need to be done in a row or on a time limit, just 5 different enemies.

Simply grab Focused Shot and use it on 5 enemies whenever you feel like it, as again, it’s not restricted to a time limit; you just need to make sure you hit 5 different enemies.
