In Crimson Desert, one of the most powerful daggers—the Sinister Pursuit Dagger—is hidden in the Sanctuary of Solace. Tracking it down is tricky: the chest sits behind a rotating stone wall.

How to get the Sinister Pursuit Dagger
Once you reach the Sanctuary of Solace, your goal is to find the hidden chest. Here’s a step-by-step plan:
Enter the sanctuary and head to the far-right corner (as viewed from the entrance).
Inspect the walls carefully—one stone panel is actually a revolving door.
Activate it to open a passage into a small hidden room.
Inside, you’ll find a treasure chest containing the dagger.
Note: The center of the sanctuary houses an arena that will trigger a boss fight if the area hasn’t been cleared yet. You can avoid the battle if you’d rather stay focused on finding the dagger.

The Sinister Pursuit Dagger is an epic dagger for Cliff. Its jagged golden blade gives it a primal look. Once fully upgraded, its stats rise to 38 Attack and Critical Hit Chance level 8, making it one of the best daggers available early on.
Unlike some unique daggers (e.g., the Goblin King’s Treasure Dagger), this one has no special abilities—its strength lies in raw damage and stylish visuals.
Mechanic note: The dagger’s damage and stats apply only when used for stealth kills or thrusting attacks. A thrust is performed when you attack while holding a weapon without a sharp point, such as an axe.
