Bismuth is a difficult resource to get in Crimson Desert, and you’ll need to look in specific locations to find some. When you’re around the material, you’ll be able to identify it from its signature silver base and shimmer.
Thanks to its mystical power, you can’t mine Bismuth with ordinary tools. This guide will help you find Bismuth and mine it as much as you need.
How to mine Bismuth in Crimson Desert
While most of the mining in Crimson Desert is done with the pickaxe, it won’t work on Bismuth. You’ll first need to use Lightning Surge to break the magic barrier that surrounds Bismuth deposits. You won’t be able to mine as long as the barrier is active.
Naturally, you’ll need Lightning at level 1 before you head to a location where you can find Bismuth (more on that later). Press RT+B/RB+Circle to generate an electric field. Release it to bring down the barrier. To mine Bismuth, you need to hit the spot where the electric field hits.
Best Bismuth farm location in Crimson Desert
There are several locations in Crimson Desert, but the best one can be found near the Scholastone Institute. Go southwest from Hernand City, and you’ll find the Institute on the map. The ore is found along the mountain cliffs near a waterfall.
As an alternative, you can also look to find Bismuth in the peaks of Everfrost. Usually, you’ll find plenty of Bismuth Ore in the locations mentioned above. Hence, make sure to have enough space in your inventory so that you can carry as much ore as required.
