Even then, getting into the cave that holds the Mystical Pine Mushrooms is challenging. Here is a quick guide to help you complete the Young Monk's Request in quest Crimson Desert.

How to start Young Monk's Request Quest in Crimson Desert
To start the quest Young Monk's Request in Crimson Desertplayers must wait until they finally unlock Howling Hill Greymane's Camp in Chapter 3. Once they do, go to Coalvale Workshop east of Howling Hill camp.
Once you enter the small settlement, you will have the opportunity to speak with a young monk who has ventured all the way from Jijeong Temple to search for a mysterious mushroom that grows in the area.
So players have to go to Pororin Village to get the mysterious mushroom for the young monk and complete the quest. However, the village is a limited area, and Kliff will be shot with sleep darts when he tries to enter. To access Pororin Village, players must first complete the Unreachable Village quest Crimson Desert.
