As we dive deeper into the sprawling mechanics of Crimson Desert, it becomes clear that even the most mundane tasks require a bit of tactical finesse. You would think cleaning a chimney during the early-game quest, Actions Speak Louder than Words, would be a straightforward chore for a seasoned mercenary like Kliff. However, navigating Kliff’s physics-heavy movement can sometimes feel like a puzzle in itself—a challenge our team here at Digital Tech Explorer knows all too well when testing new action RPGs.
While the bickering couple at Muckroot Ranch provides some entertaining narrative flavor, you likely want to finish this sweep and get back to the high-stakes combat. At Digital Tech Explorer, we focus on making complex gameplay accessible, so here is the most efficient way to handle this menial task and move on to the more “tech-forward” aspects of Pywel.
How to Clean the Chimney in Crimson Desert
To successfully complete the chimney sweep objective in Actions Speak Louder than Words, follow these precise steps:
- Locate the Broom: Find the broom positioned to the left of the front door.
- Equip the Item: Open your inventory and equip the broom as you would a primary weapon.
- Scale the Roof: Head to the back of the house and use the stack of crates to climb onto the roof.
- The Sweep: Jump directly onto the chimney pot. Hold CTRL (PC) or the Left Bumper (Controller) to aim the broom inside. Press the “Attack” button to initiate the cleaning animation.
Keep in mind that positioning is key. If you aren’t standing directly over the opening or aiming correctly, Kliff will perform a standard spear-thrust animation against the chimney rather than cleaning it. Once the unique sweeping animation triggers and the smoke clears, your task is complete.
After finishing the job, return to the couple to receive your reward: the Hernandian Attire. This gear is essential as it allows you to enter Hernand Castle. Before you leave the area, TechTalesLeo recommends heading north toward the town model to collect Hidden Treasure Map Piece 7, ensuring you don’t miss any vital collectibles on your journey back to Hernand.
