Crimson Desert How to Activate the Ancient Generator

In Crimson Desert, as part of Chapter 4 Main Quest Kiln Repair at the Kilnden Workshop, you get the objective to activate the ancient generator.

This is a puzzle that requires you to align the 4 yellow symbols on the Kiln tower. The 4 symbols must align vertically from top to bottom.

At the front of the tower you find a yellow-glowing switch. Interacting with this switch and pushing D-Pad Left/Right will change the ring that moves when you push the wooden lever.

The bottom and top symbols are already correctly aligned, so you only need to align the two in the middle.

Solution:

If you haven’t interacted with the generator yet, you can solve it in 4 moves (or reload autosave to reset it):

1. Push yellow lever all the way to the right – this activates the 2nd ring.
2. Push the wooden lever to the right to align the 2nd symbol, so it’s directly after the first yellow glowing symbol.
3. Push yellow lever to the middle – this activates the 3rd ring.
4. Push wooden lever to the left to align the 3rd symbol above the first two.

When done correctly the solution looks like this:

You then get 3 new puzzle objectives around this area. See How to fix the dismantled kiln & put fuel in the kiln.
