If you’re looking for a permanent stamina upgrade in Crimson Desert, there’s a hidden reward many players already have but haven’t used.
The Dark Red Goblet is a key item that instantly increases your max stamina, and it’s tied to a specific side quest.
Unlock the quest
To begin, you need to:
- Progress past Chapter 7
- Head to the area near Anvil Hill
- Find the quest called Corrupted Greymane
Speak to the NPC at the quest marker and go through all dialogue to start the mission.
Where to Go Next
After starting the quest:
- Travel toward the Menace Wildlife Park
- The objective will guide you into the area
Here, you’ll face the target tied to the quest.
Defeat the Crimson Warden
Inside the area:
- Fight the Crimson Warden
- A former Greymane turned hostile
The fight isn’t overly complex, but:
- The boss is mobile and jumps around
- Deals solid damage if you’re not careful
Stay patient, dodge attacks, and deal consistent damage.
After defeating the boss:
- You’ll receive multiple rewards
- Including the Dark Red Goblet (key item)
You may also get additional gear like armor, but the goblet is the main prize.
How to increase your stamina
Here’s the important part many players miss:
- Open your inventory
- Find the Dark Red Goblet
- Use (consume) the item
Once used, it grants a permanent +40 max stamina increase.
This upgrade is extremely valuable because:
- Stamina affects combat, dodging, and movement
- It’s a permanent boost
- Applies across your character progression
It’s one of the easiest ways to improve overall performance.
The Dark Red Goblet is a simple but powerful upgrade that’s easy to overlook. If you’ve already completed the quest and haven’t used it, you might be missing out on a major stamina boost.
Always check your key items, you might already have it. Did you already have this item sitting in your inventory?
Where do you get the stamina upgrade?
From the Dark Red Goblet, earned in the Corrupted Greymane quest.
How much stamina does it give?
+40 permanent stamina.
