Some quests in Crimson Desert require you to eavesdrop, but it might be difficult to figure out how.
Crimson Desert is, without a doubt, one of the best games to come out in the first quarter of this year (maybe even the whole year). But one thing that players have had an issue with is the lack of instructions - some quests have instructions so vague that it becomes difficult to solve. And one function that has users scratching their heads is the ability to eavesdrop.
Well, now you don't have to worry. Here's everything you need to know.
How to Eavesdrop in Crimson Desert
To eavesdrop, you need to stand in a specific place and lean against a wall or a flat surface. Once you have leaned, you will be prompted to eavesdrop on NPCs.
During Act Seven of Crimson Desert, you will come across the Bared Fang quest in Beighen. In this quest, you'll need to eavesdrop on a secret organization and make connections with them through deceit.

During the first part of the quest, you'll need to eavesdrop on two men inside a small red barn. To do so, walk around the side of the barn and locate a small crack in the wall. When you're in the right spot, you'll be prompted to eavesdrop.
To do the second part of the quest, you'll need to speak to a Blue Fang guard to progress further - to be specific, you'll need to lie to him. If you're right, the second part of the quest will unlock.
For this, you'll need to enter a small shack with a fruit stand in the back. Once inside, head to the backside of the area and lean close to a shelf. You'll be able to eavesdrop on the people in front of the building from here.

To complete the third part, you'll need to lie to the Blue Fang guard again. After, head towards a large building marked on your map. Head to the left side of the building and find a wall with a gap in the wood.
From there, you'll be able to eavesdrop on the conversation.
