Crow spawn location in Crimson Desert
The most reliable place to find crows is around the Seonangdang area, specifically near Serpent Marsh and Jijeong Rock in Demeniss. These locations naturally feature light-to-medium forest density, which is exactly the kind of environment crows prefer.

You shouldn’t expect crows to appear instantly. They spawn dynamically in natural settings, meaning you may need to explore slightly or wait for them to show up. Areas with open countryside mixed with trees tend to increase your chances.
What feed is best for crows
You’ll need the Sotdae of Bond, which acts as a placement tool that helps attract animals. Alongside this, you must carry barley or beans, as these are the preferred food items for crows. Without these, the taming process simply won’t begin.
How to tame and pet a crow in Crimson Desert
Step 1
Locate a suitable forest area with moderate tree coverage where crows are likely to spawn. Place your Sotdae of Bond in an open but slightly covered spot.

Step 2
Add barley or beans into the feeder attached to the Sotdae.
This is what draws the crow in and keeps it engaged long enough for trust to build.

Step 3
Wait patiently for a crow to approach and begin feeding.
You must avoid sudden movements or interruptions, as this phase is crucial for trust-building.

Step 4
Allow the trust meter to increase as the crow continues feeding.
This happens gradually, so patience is key—rushing will reset your progress.

Step 5
Press “E” when prompted to take in the crow.
Once trust is sufficient, this interaction becomes available.

Step 6
The crow is now registered as your pet.
After this step, it becomes a permanent companion that you can manage like other pets.
