Crimson Desert has welcomed patch update 1.06.00, which adds some amazing new features - including the Sigil of Valor.

One of the best things about Crimson Desert is the pets. They're furry companions you can take as you journey through Pywel, and they loot dead bodies after combat. However, their one drawback was that they didn't help at all during fights - until now.

The Sigil of Valor is a pet accessory that allows pets to help you in combat, actively fighting against enemies side-by-side with you. Want to know how to get your hands on it? Here's everything you need to know.

How to Find the Sigil of Valor in Crimson Desert

The Sigil of Valor can be bought from a hidden merchant in the Pororin Village. The Secret Shop merchant, Lacey, doesn't have a fixed stall. Instead, she roams around the village. Make sure to walk through the village roads and check the merchant paths to ensure you don't miss her.

Take note that Pororin is not available immediately at the start of the game. You'll need to progress through the main storyline until you get a regional questline that unlocks the village. You'll specifically need to complete the Unreachable Village faction questline to unlock Pororin.

However, if you've already progressed through and unlocked Pororin, you'll be able to visit the merchant and get the Sigil of Valor.

After, select which pet companion you want to fight alongside you in combat. Locate their Pet Accessory slot and equip the Sigil of Valor onto them.

You can then summon the pet as normal. Now, when you go into combat, your pet will start attacking nearby enemies automatically.
