A Fresh Start is the third subquest under the Homestead questline, part of Chapter 3, Howling Hill. This is the quest where you start setting up your camp, which will act as a Greymane hub. In the previous quest, Marquis Serkis gave you a location to set up your camp in Howling Hill, and Marshal Middler has already done some foundational work. This quest is about helping the workers complete the construction of the camp.
This article provides a detailed guide on how to complete the A Fresh Start quest in Crimson Desert.
A Fresh Start quest in Crimson Desert (Homestead): Walkthrough
During your previous quest in Crimson Desert, a Hernandian soldier will escort you to your new location. Mount your horse and follow him. Once you reach the location and converse with Marshal Middler, the A Fresh Start quest will begin.
You will be given four objectives:
- Move the sacks
- Drive in the stakes
- Push the Wagon
- Raise the banner
These objectives can be done in any order. The game gives you a suggested direction on which one to do first during the A Fresh Start quest, but it is completely up to you.
Move the sacks
In the marked location, there will be supplies. You need to carry three sacks from that area to another marked location. Do not worry, you do not need to carry these to distant places, as the marked area is very near.
As you get to the location, you will find three sacks lying on the ground. Pick them up, take them to the marked location, and put them down. Repeat this process for all three sacks.

Drive in the stakes
Head to the marked location where you will find a white canopy structure. Beside it, there is a table. Head near the table and pick up the mallet (a type of hammer). To keep the structure sturdy, you need to drive stakes into the ground at all four corners.
Equip the mallet from your gear tab. Aim down at the stake and hit it. You need to hit it three times to push the stake deeper into the ground. Do this for all four corners.
Push the wagon
Here you need to push the wagon into the tent, but there are rocks blocking the way. Equip your Pickaxe, aim at those rocks, and break them. There will be three rocks in total, so break all of them. Now all you need to do is push the wagon. There is no dedicated button for this. You only need to approach it and use your movement controls to push it forward.
Raise the banner
Head to the marked location, and you will see a banner fallen on the ground. Proceed near it and use your Nature’s Grasp skill to lift it. Just nearby, you will find the stand where you need to place the banner to keep it upright.
As you lift the banner, head near the stand, aim at it by pressing the dedicated button (Ctrl on PC), and place it.
Once all four chores are done, you will complete the A Fresh Start quest in Crimson Desert.
