The base game of Crimson Desert already included plenty of RPG mechanics, and now Pearl Abyss has added even more in the Charting the Unknown DLC. Besides Crimson Desert’s shipbuilding and romance features, the developer has finally added a Free Construction feature to build your own custom houses. So, learn how to build custom houses in Crimson Desert: Charting the Unknown DLC here.
How to Unlock Custom Housebuilding in Crimson Desert
Previously in Crimson Desert, players were only allowed to furnish their houses. But starting with the Crimson Desert: Charting the Unknown DLC, you are free to build your dream home.
However, players need to unlock a new feature called “Free Construction,” which enables custom housebuilding in Crimson Desert. So, here is how to unlock Free Construction in Crimson Desert:
- Defeat Kailok the Hornsplitter in Crimson Desert.
- After defeating the boss in Goldleaf Camp, head back to Hernand City and talk to Marquis Serkis.
- The NPC will reward you with Howling Hill, where you can establish the Greymane Camp.
- Once the camp is set, you can see a new set of Faction Quests under the Quest tab.
- In the Greymane Faction Quest group, complete Luke’s Request as part of the Grounds of the Sunrise questline.
- So, find Luke and speak to him first. Then decorate the old house as he requests.
- Now, the Free Construction feature is automatically unlocked for you.
If you have sent Luke on a dispatch mission, you won’t be able to meet him and complete this quest. If you did, wait for Luke to reappear at the camp and then talk to him to wrap up the quest.
How to Build a Custom House in Crimson Desert
Once you have successfully unlocked the option to build and customize houses, it is very simple to start building custom houses in Crimson Desert. Whether you are playing as Kliff, Oongka, or Damiane in Crimson Desert, here is how to build a custom house in Crimson Desert:
- Head to one of your camps and get your home base.
- Hit the Start button to enter building mode.
- Press R3 to enter layouts and select the Free Construction option.
- Then begin setting up the installables such as walls, roofs, stairs, doors, etc., to your preferences.
- Then unpack all the items in your inventory inside the house.

Players can further expand construction options by purchasing additional books from furniture shops on the Crimson Desert map to build castles, manors, and more.
