How to find the seven lanterns and climb the Frost Tower in the Crimson Desert (The Frostwarden Quest)
Players will be able to start the Frostwarden quest v Crimson Desert after reaching Beighen Village at the beginning of Chapter 7: Homecoming. While exploring the village, you'll come across a drunken man who tells Kliff to head to the Spire of Frost and light the seven stone lanterns.
Before embarking on The Frostwarden quest, equip yourself with armor that offers high protection against ice and stock up on food that temporarily increases ice resistance to withstand the freezing winds in the area.
Players can take the path east of Beighen Village to reach the Tower of Frost. On your way to the Spire you will encounter Skull Knight Powers.
Ground enemies are easier to deal with. However, you will have trouble taking out the flying frost wizards. The best strategy is to target one flying enemy and spam Evasive Shot until it is taken out (aim the bow and quickly spam the dodge button).
Skull Knight himself eventually appears and begins attacking Kliff. You don't want to be in this fight if your gear is below level 5. It's better to escape him for now and go to the Spire of Frost. You'll be able to fight him properly later to get the Shadow Armor pieces.
Follow the quest market until you reach the first stone lantern that has frozen. You will have to use the Turning Slash move (RB + RT / R1 + R2) to break the ice first around the lantern before lighting it. Once the lantern is lit, the entrance to the Tower of Frost will open and you can go inside.
Before heading up the spiral staircase, look behind the stairs on the first floor to open a chest that contains Frozen Anguish, one of the best swords in the world. Crimson Desert. You can now head up the spiral staircase and light the second lantern.
Continue up the stairs until you see an opening on the right. Climb through the window and take the outer staircase to start climbing the Spire of Frost. You bump into here the third lantern.
At the end of this staircase you will need to climb back into the Spire of Frost through the window on the left and light the fourth candle when climbing stairs.
Keep going up the stairs until you hit the fifth lantern. Once you've successfully ignited it, head out of the Frost Tower through the opening on the right.
Walk up the outdoor staircase for a while and you'll come across the sixth lantern only forward.
At the seventh and final lantern, you'll need to continue up the stairs and re-enter the tower through the window on the left. The last stone lantern can be found inside and lighting it will complete The Frostwarden quest Crimson Desert.
Players will get Frostcursed Plate Boots as a reward for completing the quest and also opening the Abyss Gate that will lead to the puzzle Passage of Malice Abyss v Crimson Desert.
