The Fated Shadow sword is one of those rare weapons in Crimson Desert that you can miss quite easily. However, its Greysoul Howling ability is one, if not the best, weapon skill that you can utilize. Sadly, the weapon isn’t part of a quest, so you’ll need to put in some extra effort to find it.
Fated Shadow sword location in Crimson Desert
To find the Fated Shadow sword, you’ll need to head to the Abyss region at Nest of Valor. The region is near the Dry Valley. This area might remain hidden for you. If you have reached the endgame content, you’ll reach the Abyss area after defeating the Goyen boss in Chapter 9.
Once the Abyss map is available, use the nexus on the small island next to the Dry Valley. This is the easiest way to travel to the spot where you can find the Fated Shadow sword.
How to reach the Fated Shadow sword in Crimson Desert
Once you arrive at the spot, the main path will be split into two directions. Take the path going right, and you’ll arrive at a small cave. Take the staircase next to the cave, and head upstairs. Inside, you’ll get a Fishball Soup recipe if you haven’t visited the location previously.
Keep traveling to the back of the cave, and a small icon will appear near a bucket and a few other objects kept on the floor. You’ll really need to be close to the spot for the marker to appear. This is the same spot from where you’ll manage to interact and add the Fated Shadow sword to your arsenal.
How does Greysoul Howling work in Crimson Desert
The Fated Shadows sword comes pre-built with the Greysoul Howling ability. You can activate it by pressing the R1/RB and R2/RT buttons, and it requires Spirit to work. It will call the ghost of Goyen, which releases a sweeping strike of shadow energy across the target area.
This ability is one of the best attacks, in my opinion, and you can target individual/multiple enemies with it. You can always choose to sell the ability and the sword, but I have kept both in my arsenal.
