Guide to Crimson Desert's Master of a Forgotten Land mission. Defeat the Golden Star boss to retrieve its power core and obtain the Golden Fire reward.
Master of a Forgotten Land is the 152nd main mission in Crimson Desert, found in Chapter 11 – Truth and Reality. You must have finished the previous main quest, Truth and Lies, to begin. The quest requires you to defeat Golden Star to obtain its power core for the flying Fortress Orbian. The reward for completing this mission is the Golden Fire.
The objectives for this quest are:
- Retrieve Golden Star’s power core
- Approach Golden Star’s fragment
To retrieve the Golden Star’s power core, you will face a boss fight against Golden Star, a large golden metal dragon. Head to the quest marker to initiate the encounter. Golden Star has a single health bar. Its attacks are determined by the corner of the arena it sits in. To damage the dragon, grab spears from the blue glowing generators around the arena and throw them when it is stationary. When Golden Star sits on the lower right wall, you can attack its exposed claw with melee attacks for significant damage, while climbing the wall to avoid its fire breath. After taking damage, it will become stunned on the ground, allowing you to attack it with all your abilities. The boss fight has only one phase and its attacks do not change. Occasionally, flying bugs and large robots will appear; the large robots should be prioritized as they take longer to defeat than the smaller ones. When the dragon is in the front left corner, it attacks with rocks and fire. In the back left corner, it drops explosives indicated by orange floor outlines.
After defeating Golden Star, a cutscene will play, followed by a skydive back to the ground near its body for another cutscene. This concludes the Master of a Forgotten Land mission.
