You are asked to read the memory of the blood coronation in Crimson Desert during the final part of Chapter 8. The task seems simple at first, as you only need to read the memories of certain personnel, but there are specific steps where you might easily get stuck.
Previously, you helped subdue the rebels for Duke Wells. In return for your favor, you ask him about Myurdin. He then asks you to investigate Duke Caliburn’s old office to find clues about Myurdin.
This article provides a detailed guide on exactly how to read the memory of the blood coronation in Crimson Desert and complete the quest easily.
Crimson Desert guide: How to read the memory on the blood coronation
First, the quest requires you to visit Demeniss Castle in Crimson Desert. Be careful, as you are not welcome in this city at this time. If the guards spot you, they will immediately become aggressive, so you must go there stealthily. Head inside and make your way to the marked hall.
Use Binding Light to learn about the memory
Use your Binding Light skill by pressing Ctrl+left mouse button on PC, or LB+RB/L1+R1 on a controller.
This will allow you to read the memory, and you will automatically equip your Visione helmet to see the memory realm. Here, you will see Myurdir. Shortly after, Lucian Bastier arrives, has a conversation, and then walks away.

Follow Bastier
This is an important step. If you take off your helmet, you will need to rewatch the memory again. So, do not take off your helmet.
Stay in the memory realm and keep following Bastier as he goes downstairs and heads to a chamber full of nobles.
Listen to the nobles’ conversation in the audience chamber
Again, do not take off your helmet, and strictly stay in the memory. Once you are inside the chamber, turn right, and you will see the first noble whose conversation you need to listen to.
You can easily distinguish them, as they will have a different color and a glitchy effect. Head near them, and the prompt to Examine will appear. Interact with it to hear the conversation.
In that chamber, you need to listen to three different noble conversations. Once you have listened to all three, a twist occurs. Duke Caliburn arrives with his guards and kills every single noble in that chamber. He is the same unknown person that you encountered in the Abyss during the Obsession and Madness quest.
He possesses a unique power that sucks you directly into that memory realm, and you are forced to fight him.
Battle with Gabriel Caliburn
This battle is tough, and you will need a lot of food to heal yourself during the fight.
First, focus heavily on dodging his attacks. He performs fast strikes that come from random directions. He can teleport, perform slash combos, execute special attacks, and use arrow attacks. Keep dodging and hit him with heavy attacks whenever you find an opening.
Try to fill his stun meter while dodging and parrying his moves. Once you get the timing down and become acquainted with his attack pattern, the fight becomes a bit easier.
Once you deplete his health, a cutscene will play. He throws you away with a powerful attack. The guards will then carry you to the holding cells. Here, the two witches that you helped earlier will come to your aid and save you. This completes the quest.
