A troubled Shakatu tasks players with investigating members of the Goldleaf Merchant Guild in the quest “Close Threat”. Here's the full walkthrough:
How to complete Prox's Request in the Crimson Desert
-
To find the Goldleaf Trading Post in Serkis Estate, go east of the “D” of “Hernand”.
-
Here you will find Goblin Prox, who you can talk to to hear his request to hand over the forgeries to the investigators.
-
We recommend that you make this request immediately, as you may accidentally sell the item that Prox gave you to deliver.
-
If you head southeast of the “D” of “Hernand”, just north of the cliffs of Howling Hill Camp, you'll find another Goldleaf trading post in the Serkis Estate.
-
Here you'll find a goblin examining some chests.
-
Talk to the Gilded Merchant with L1 to “deliver” (Square/X) the item given to you by Prox.
-
Doing so will complete the quest and reward you with a Medium Bag of Unblemished Wood.
If you can't talk to the goblin at the Gold Leaf Trading Post, wait until he becomes active again. Or maybe he sold a painting. If you're having trouble, you can find bug fixes below.
How to fix Prox's request bug (missing picture) in Crimson Desert.
-
If you can't return the item to the Gold Leaf Trading Post NPC, you may have accidentally sold or dropped the painting you were supposed to hand over.
-
Fortunately, you can fix this problem quite easily by going to the location shown above.
-
Southwest of Fort Perwin in the southern Hernand region, there is a wooden hut full of crates.
-
If you destroy a box (the NPC doesn't care), there is a chance that a painting will drop.
-
If the painting doesn't drop, fast travel to the ancient ruins of the Abyss Nexus (also shown above, where you'll need to solve a puzzle with a guide), then return to Fort Perwin and repeat the cycle.
You can sometimes find paintings in wagons on the road or in the possession of Hernand's Bleed Bandits, but the easiest way is to repeatedly destroy chests in the locations we've listed.
