The Kuku Watcher Pack in Crimson Desert is one of the most unique utility gear pieces you can unlock, especially if you prefer a hybrid combat approach where gadgets support your attacks. Instead of relying purely on weapons, this backpack gives you automated turret drones that continuously attack enemies, making it extremely useful for both mob clearing and boss fights. If you want something that adds passive damage while you focus on dodging and positioning, this is absolutely worth your time.
Quick overview of the Kuku Watcher Pack
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Gear Type | Backpack (Utility Gear) |
| Main Ability | Summons 2 invincible turret drones |
| Combat Role | Crowd control + stun buildup |
| Activation | L2 + R2 |
| Unlock Requirement | Bari questline + Sanctums |

Location to find Bari and unlock Kuku Watcher Pack
Before you can even think about crafting the Kuku Watcher Pack, you need to unlock Bari, the Witch of Kindness. This step is essential because she grants access to the Sanctums tied to the blueprint progression.
You’ll find her starting point in Pailune, near a mountain crevasse where a tent is set up. Once you reach the location, you need to light a lantern and initiate a conversation, which triggers her questline. After this interaction, you’ll receive a marker that leads you further south toward a lake below the Silver Wolf Mountains.
This step unlocks Bari fully along with her Sanctums, which are essentially challenge dungeons tied to blueprint rewards.
How to unlock both Kuku Pack blueprints from Sanctums
1 – Sanctum of Atonement puzzle and combat breakdown
The Sanctum of Atonement is where you obtain the Kuku Watcher Pack blueprint, and it’s not just a simple fight.
You’ll need to defeat waves of enemies first, which can be fairly intense depending on your level. After clearing them, a puzzle becomes available. The core objective is to correctly position a reactor core and pillar mechanism.
The puzzle is straightforward once you observe the alignment mechanics, but the challenge lies in handling enemies before solving it. Once completed, you receive the main blueprint required for the turret backpack.
2 – Sanctum of Penitence and secondary blueprint
The second step is the Sanctum of Penitence, which rewards the Kuku Pack blueprint component.
Unlike Atonement, this one focuses more on combat clearing rather than puzzle-solving. You’ll need to eliminate all enemies in the area to unlock the reward.
Completing both Sanctums ensures you have everything needed to move into the crafting phase.
Farming materials efficiently without wasting time
Crafting the Kuku Watcher Pack requires multiple components, and each has a specific farming method. Understanding where to go will save you hours of unnecessary grinding.
| Material | How to Get | Best Location |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Components | Defeat large mechs | Bottom-right of Delissia |
| Clockwork Insects | Use Kuku Pack ability in insect zones | Any insect-heavy biome |
| Small Batteries | Farm small mechs | Man’s Steel Armory |
| Abyss Cell No. 0 | Break hidden walls | Scholar Stone Institute |
Electrical Components drop from larger mechanical enemies, which are tougher but predictable. Meanwhile, Small Batteries are much easier to farm, making them a good starting point.
The most interesting material is Clockwork Insects, as it requires you to actively use the Kuku Pack ability (L2 + R2) while fighting insects, meaning you’ll partially test the gear even before fully optimizing it.
Abyss Cell No. 0 is slightly hidden, requiring you to use a focused force punch to break shimmering walls, so keep an eye out for environmental clues.
How to craft the turret backpack at Grimnir’s Shop
Step 1
Head to the Kilnden workshop located west of Hernand Castle. This is the only place where you can assemble the Kuku Watcher Pack components.
Step 2
Open the crafting menu and locate the Kuku Watcher Pack blueprint, which should now be unlocked after completing both Sanctums.
Step 3
Insert all required materials including Electrical Components, Clockwork Insects, Small Batteries, and Abyss Cell No. 0.
Step 4
Confirm crafting to obtain the backpack. Once crafted, the item is added to your inventory and can be equipped via the D-pad gear menu.
How to use turret drones effectively in combat
The Kuku Watcher Pack isn’t just flashy—it’s incredibly strategic when used correctly. Once equipped, pressing L2 + R2 deploys two floating turret drones that automatically attack enemies.
These drones are invincible, which makes them perfect for sustained fights. They constantly apply pressure, helping fill enemy stun meters, especially during boss encounters.
| Reward Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Gear Unlock | Kuku Watcher Pack |
| Combat Advantage | Automated turret drones |
| Utility Boost | Crowd control + stun support |
| Playstyle Impact | Enables hybrid gadget-based combat |
You can retract the drones using the same input, allowing you to reposition or conserve usage depending on the situation.
In crowd scenarios, they act as passive damage dealers, thinning out weaker enemies while you focus on stronger threats. Against bosses, they provide consistent chip damage and stagger buildup, making fights significantly easier.
