Complete the 161st main mission, A New Beginning, in Crimson Desert. Starts in Pailune and rewards the Expert Storyteller trophy.
A New Beginning is the 161st main mission in Crimson Desert. It begins in Pailune, in the Epilogue – Journey’s End chapter. You must have finished the previous main quest, Blinding Darkness, to start this mission. The quest description states that peace has returned to Pailune, and Oongka’s advice to let go of burdens has resonated with you, marking a fresh start.
The main objective is called “Back to Normal”. Upon starting the quest, you will spawn in Pailune. Your comrade Oongka will be in front of you. Walk with him as he leads you to the town’s docks.
After arriving at the docks, the quest will automatically complete. At this point, you will unlock the Expert Storyteller trophy/achievement for beating the story, even though more epilogue quests remain. The remaining quests involve short dialogues with allies met during the story and can be completed in any order.
