Crimson Desert's 2.03.02 patch fixes Grimnir failing to appear during The Mysterious Pot and a power core not registering at Ether Rest in the Abyss. Pearl Abyss lists both progression repairs in its September 23 patch notes.

If either problem stopped your run, confirm the installed version before retrying that objective.

Three fixes in 2.03.02

The Grimnir repair covers the character failing to appear in certain situations during The Mysterious Pot. The Ether Rest fix addresses the power core not being detected, which blocked progress through that Abyss location.

The remaining entry restores map icons for newly discovered objects in certain regions.
