Crimson Desert: Deepfog Basin Dragon Head Ruins Puzzle

The Dragon Head ruins in Deepfog Basin is a sliding picture-builder — rearrange seven heavy blocks into a dragon using the Stab skill. Here’s the layout and the reset trick.

Short Answer

The ruins are in Calphaden, north of the “R” in Hernand (west of Thalwynd). Use your Stab ability (you can’t just push these blocks) to slide the seven blocks into the image of a dragon facing a knight: the flowery sun on top, the dragon head middle-right, the body in the center, and the two wings on the left. When aligned, the blocks sink into the floor and the secret door opens. If blocks get stuck, run ~100m away for 30 seconds to reset.
