Where to Find Brimstone in Crimson Desert – Quick Scoop

Brimstone in Crimson Desert is a rare crafting mineral found almost exclusively in the Brimstone Springs area on Deadfire Mountain , far north of the City of Demeniss. The main spot is right above the second “E” in “Demeniss” on your world map, centered around a toxic sulfur pit with gas vents and disguising crab enemies.

📍 Exact Location

  • Region : Deadfire Mountain, northern Demeniss.
  • Area name : Brimstone Springs (also called sulfur pit in some guides).
  • Map hint : Look directly above the second “E” in “Demeniss” on the world map.
  • Fast travel : There is an Abyss Nexus / Abyss Cresset in the middle of the springs you can unlock for instant travel.

This is the only reliable place confirmed by multiple guides to get large amounts of brimstone.

🧱 What You’re Looking For

In Brimstone Springs, you’ll find two main sources:

  1. Hexe Brimstoneback Crabs
    • These crabs disguise themselves as green-tinted rocks with small gas/water streams.
 * Attack the “rocks” to reveal the crab, then defeat it.
 * Each crab drops **2–5 brimstone** when killed.
  1. Brimstone Gas Vents
    • Groups of three toxic vents that spew harmful fumes.
 * Interacting with these vents directly doesn’t work; you must use a special method.

🔥 How to Mine Brimstone from Vents

This is the “real” farming method that gives you consistent brimstone without killing every crab:

  1. Find a group of three vents in the sulfur pit.
  1. Use Healing Force Palm (force palm → switch to healing) to block two of the vents.
 * When a vent is blocked correctly, you’ll see small leaves or plumes stop coming out.
  1. The third vent will now spew a large plume of smoke.
  1. Cast Nature’s Snare on that concentrated smoke cloud.
 * Rotate your right stick (or equivalent) to charge the skill.
 * The smoke will start pulling into a shiny golden orb.
  1. Release Nature’s Snare when the orb is fully charged.
 * This expels **4–7 brimstone** onto the ground.
  1. Repeat across all vent groups in the area for a strong run.

If you’re farming for a while, wear a Brimstone/Gas Immunity Mask so the toxic fumes don’t chip your health.

🔄 Infinite Farm Trick (Reset Method)

To keep brimstone flowing without exhausting the area:

  1. Clear all Hexe Brimstoneback Crabs in the pit.
  1. Use the Abyss Nexus in the center of the springs to fast travel away.
  1. Fast travel back to the same Nexus.
 * This instantly resets the crabs and vents.
  1. Repeat the crab kills and vent method for 2–5 brimstone per crab and 4–7 from vents.

This “reset” trick is what makes Deadfire Mountain the go-to infinite brimstone farm.

🛠 Uses of Brimstone

Brimstone is primarily used for:

  • Crafting Gold Bars (along with gold ore) at the smithy.
  • High-tier gear refinements and alchemy recipes that require rare minerals.

Because it’s rare and not found via normal mining, brimstone farming in Deadfire Mountain becomes essential for late-game progression.

⚡ Tips & Warnings

  • Toxic damage : The fumes deal continuous health damage; always wear a gas mask if you plan long runs.
  • Crab explosion : Hexe Brimstoneback Crabs explode on death ; keep your health high and back away once their HP bar hits zero.
  • Don’t kill all crabs : Guides suggest leaving at least one alive so you can still focus on vent farming between resets.
  • Cold gear : If you also visit the cold Abyssal Nexus area to the north, bring cold-resistance gear to avoid stamina drain.

TL;DR

  • Go to Deadfire Mountain , north of Demeniss.
  • Find Brimstone Springs / sulfur pit (above the second “E” in “Demeniss” on the map).
  • Farm Hexe Brimstoneback Crabs and use the vent + Healing Force Palm + Nature’s Snare method.
  • Use the central Abyss Nexus to reset spawns and farm endlessly.
