How To Defeat the Legendary Black Lion in Crimson Desert
Here are some things to keep in mind during the fight:
- The Legendary Black Lion is accompanied by smaller lions during its fight. You are advised to defeat these additional enemies first since they can attack you at the wrong moment and be a general nuisance in the future.
- Your pattern for this fight should be to perform two to three attacks and dodge to the side. Try to stay away from its head since that’s the main attacking weapon it has.
How To Start the Legendary Animals (Legendary Hunter) Quest in Crimson Desert?

You need to have 20 quests/sub-quests completed for House Celeste in the Faction Quests category. These are:
- The Hellhounds
- Legendary Wolf
- Frozen Eldertree
- Outlaws in Hernand
- Queen of the Silkspun Citadel
- Abandoned Factory
The Frozen Eldertree quest is the one that has many players stumped, as it does not unlock easily. You should complete the Kharonso Troll Faction Quests (three of them) to unlock this mission.
This is a noticeably harder mission to start than the White Bear and Rock Tusk Warthog.

FAQs
How to raise trust with the Legendary Hunter to get the location of the Black Lion?
You can give him two Wine glasses to raise his trust to max (100). These can be bought at any tavern in the game. We would suggest the Hernand Tavern since that is the one you will be most familiar with.
How to get the Black Lion Earring after defeating the Lion?
You must skin the beast after it is slain. Without this step, the quest remains unfinished, and you do not get the respective reward.
