Crimson Desert‘s recent 1.10.00 update introduced the adorable Kuku Bird Chick pet, giving players another companion to collect during their adventures.

Knowing the exact locations and mechanics involved can save you a lot of time and frustration.

Kuku Bird Chick Egg location in Crimson Desert
The journey begins in the Steel Mountains. Your objective is to locate the boat associated with the Double-Headed Axe of Greed. Near this location, you will find the Kuku Bird Egg that is required for the pet acquisition process.
Once you pick up the egg, it becomes a special carried item rather than a standard inventory object. This means you must physically transport it to the hatching grounds.
Location of the hatching nests
The hatching area is situated near the location where players obtain mounts. Travel toward Blue Steel Camp and look to the right side of the camp.
Several nests can be found in this area, but not every nest is suitable for hatching. You must locate a nest that is not burnt. Burnt nests cannot be used and will not hatch the egg.
The nesting grounds are relatively easy to identify once you reach the area, making this the final destination of your egg-carrying journey.
How to get the Kuku Bird Chick in Crimson Desert
Travel to the Steel Mountains and find the boat where the Double-Headed Ax of Greed is located. Pick up the Kuku Bird Egg found in the boat.
Begin traveling toward Blue Steel Camp and the mount acquisition area.
Reach the nesting grounds located to the right of Blue Steel Camp. Find a non-burnt nest among the available nests.
Place the egg inside the nest and wait for the hatching process to complete. If the pet does not appear, check your pet capacity and inventory space. Having too many active pets may prevent the new companion from being added.
Important travel restrictions while carrying the egg
The most important mechanic during this activity is that climbing becomes unavailable once the egg is picked up. Many players naturally attempt to scale cliffs and mountain walls, only to discover they cannot progress.
Instead, follow established roads, slopes, and jumpable paths through the Steel Mountains. Taking the longer but safer route is usually the best approach. Planning your path before picking up the egg can significantly reduce the chance of getting stuck halfway through the journey.
How to evolve the Kuku Bird Chick into a mount
Obtaining the pet is only the beginning. The Kuku Bird Chick can be raised into a full mount through the game’s growth system.
After hatching, summon the Kuku Bird Chick and begin feeding it meat. Each feeding contributes toward its growth progress. Continue providing meat until the bird completes all three growth levels.
Why the Kuku Bird Chick is worth getting
The Kuku Bird Chick is one of the more unique pet acquisitions introduced in recent updates because it combines exploration, transportation, and environmental interaction into a single activity. Rather than simply defeating enemies or completing a quest chain, you must safely escort an egg through dangerous terrain before earning your reward.
For collectors and completionists, the pet is an easy addition to the growing roster of companions available in Crimson Desert, and the process itself offers a fun diversion from standard questing and combat activities.
Obtaining the Kuku Bird Chick requires finding a special egg in the Steel Mountains near the Double-Headed Ax of Greed boat, carrying it to the nesting grounds located to the right of Blue Steel Camp, and placing it in a non-burnt nest. The biggest challenge is navigating the mountainous terrain without the ability to climb while carrying the egg. Successfully completing the journey rewards you with the Kuku Bird Chick pet companion.
