    As mentioned earlier, the Hernand Castle Strongbox is one of the many puzzles available in Crimson Desert. To reach it, you need to head to Hernand Castle, which is marked in the image above.

    Just like any other important building in the title, several guards will be present in this area. A reliable way to get inside is by equipping the Hernandian Outfit, which you obtain after completing the Actions Speak Louder than Words main quest.

    Once you do so, the guards will allow you to enter the building without any issue. From there, take the first staircase and climb to the top. Then move ahead to the next staircase and climb that as well. After that, go to the very end of the third one, which will take you in front of a closed door.

    To gain entry, you will require a key. If you do not have one, you can purchase one from the Back Alley Shop, located south-east of Hernand. After unlocking the door, you will find the Strongbox placed directly in front of you.

    Once you press the keys on the Strongbox correctly, it unlocks and offers you a Lavish Meal recipe. With this item, you can reduce stamina consumption and restore Kliff’s stamina. To steal the recipe, you will require a mask. If you do not have one, you can purchase it from the same Back Alley Shop mentioned earlier.
