To finish the Ice Cradle Abyss in Crimson Desert, you need to reach the bottom floors. This is one of the many Abyss Restoration Challenges found in Pywel.

Look for a room at the very base where the ground is covered in ice. You have to solve a puzzle here that works like a memory game.

Solving the Device Puzzle

Go to the devices on the ice. This is a common Abyss Puzzle that requires specific skills. Use your Sword skills by holding Block and Light Attack then firing your beam in Crimson Desert.

Hit the right device first. Then hit the far left one. Go back to the first one and follow this order: right, left, right, right, right, right. Hit the last one two times at the end. The room turns blue and plays music when you get the Puzzle Solution right.

Climbing the Wall

Go back to the room you passed earlier. You need to get up the small wall to find the Abyss Artifact. If you are not wearing Cold Weather Gear, you cannot use the Axiom Pull to fly up. The cold stays in your way and blocks your Axiom Force movement.

You have to climb normally or use a Force Punch to reach the top. Watch your Stamina because the cold makes it harder to move in Crimson Desert.

Fixing the Power

Find the Abyss Power Cell at the top. Pick it up and carry it to the other side. Put the Battery into the hole in the wall. You will see Green Plants that show it is working.

Give it a push to lock it in. This opens a wall that was closed before. Walk toward the door and find the Broken Wire to finish the challenge and earn your rewards in Crimson Desert.
