Crimson Desert: Head to the Abyss (A Shadow in the Void)

A Shadow in the Void sends you chasing Caliburn into the Abyss aboard a Cube that doubles as a spaceship. The tricky part is powering the Cube — a battery-and-socket sequence inside a hidden chasm — so this guide covers the route, the power puzzle, and the path to the boss.

Short Answer

Find the Cube in a chasm by the waterfalls on the west side of Drywind Valley (northeast of the S in Demeniss). Drop inside, pull the wall battery with Axiom Force to drop the blue barrier, install the power cell in the socket with Force Current, then re-seat the battery to power it. Climb to the upper layer and rotate the two disks until they glow blue — the Cube flies to the Abyss. There, activate the Abyss Nexus, crouch and Force Palm the floor button, cross the skybridge (spin the pillar dial), and follow the cables to the Caliburn boss gate.

Key Takeaways

• The Cube spaceship is in a chasm by the waterfalls, west of Drywind Valley (NE of the S in Demeniss).
• Power sequence: pull the wall battery → install the power cell with Force Current → re-seat the battery.
• Climb with Axiom Force + double jump, then rotate both upper disks blue to launch the Cube.
• At the Abyss: activate the Nexus, Force Palm the floor button (completes an Ether Fragment), and cross the skybridge.
• Follow the cable bridge to the tower and enter the Abyss Gate to fight Caliburn.

Where Is the Cube and How Do You Power It?

It’s in a chasm by the Drywind Valley waterfalls — power it with the battery/cell sequence. Head to the Demeniss region, northeast of the S in Demeniss, on the west side of Drywind Valley, and drop into the square opening, then down one more level.

1. Drop the barrier. At the end of the hole, Axiom Force the wall battery and pull it out to shut down the blue force field.
2. Install the power cell. Grab the glowing power cell with Axiom Force, move it into the now-accessible socket, and lock it with Force Current (green spirit tree).
3. Re-seat the battery. Grab the original battery again, position it until it turns green, and snap it back with Force Current to reactivate the barrier.
4. Rotate the disks. Axiom Force the vertical pillar and double jump to the upper floor. Rotate the top-right disk until it glows blue, then the bottom-left disk — this powers the Cube.

How Do You Ride the Cube to the Abyss?

Go to the roof of the Cube and wait — it flies like a spaceship toward the Abyss (the distance counts down on your map). When it arrives, run toward the quest marker.

How Do You Reach the Caliburn Boss?

Travel west and activate the Abyss Nexus, then glide the gap. Crouch and Force Palm the large floor button to restore the Abyss (this also completes an Ether Fragment challenge). Cross the skybridge, spin the pillar dial with Axiom Force to extend the platform, and jump across. Follow the marker to the massive cables forming a bridge, climb to the tower, and enter the Abyss Gate to fight Caliburn.
