Among the five new mounts introduced in the March 1.01.00 update, one stands out for every fan of rugged, northern aesthetics. Silver Fang, the legendary white wolf, is not just a means of transport but a fully-fledged combat partner. If you admired the wolf boss Boreas in Genshin Impact, you can now saddle up a similar beast in Crimson Desert though the path to claiming him is paved with blood and a challenging hunt.
Where to Find Silver Fang: The Howling Hollow Location
This mythical predator hides in the frozen reaches of the Hernand region. Your objective is the Howling Hollow cave, located north of Sage’s Peak. Preparation is key, as the wolf will not reveal itself to just anyone.
For Silver Fang to spawn in the area, you must first meet a specific prerequisite:
- You must defeat Black Fang (the legendary black wolf).
- This encounter is tied to the quest “Silence from Afar”, found under the “House Celeste” tab within the Hernand Faction Quests.
- Faction quests are unlocked by consistently completing tasks within the respective region.
The Hunt and the Ritual of Summoning
Unlike horses that only require taming, you must earn Silver Fang in a life-or-death struggle. The process of obtaining him is as follows:
- The Kill: You must slay the legendary white wolf within its den.
- Skinning: After your victory, skin the wolf to obtain the Key Item: “Fang of Silver Fang”.
- The Witch’s Rite: Take this fang to any Witch in the world of Pywel. She will allow you to transform the trophy into a permanent mount that can be summoned at any time.
Stats and Combat Capabilities
Silver Fang is not the fastest runner in Pywel and has less health compared to other mounts, but his strength lies in his aggression.
| Stat | Value |
| Health | 430 |
| Stamina | 100 |
| Attack | 100 |
| Defense | 45 |
Combat Mechanics:
- By pressing R2, you can actively attack enemies from the wolf’s back.
- Silver Fang is autonomous he can attack enemies on his own and will actively join you in a fight even if you aren’t currently riding him.
- Social Interaction: A massive advantage is that you can ride Silver Fang anywhere. Unlike the Dragon, NPCs in towns do not fear him, so there is no need to dismount before the city gates.
Redakční pohled
Getting Silver Fang is exactly the kind of “grind” we enjoy. It’s not just about having enough gold at a merchant; you have to prove your skills in combat and progress through a faction story arc. Even though the wolf is slower and has lower HP than a high-tier horse, his ability to tear enemies apart in the heat of battle makes him an invaluable partner for exploring dangerous territories. Plus, he looks absolutely fantastic.
FAQ
Q: Why isn’t Silver Fang spawning in the Howling Hollow cave?
A: You likely haven’t defeated Black Fang yet. You must complete the Hernand Faction Quest “Silence from Afar” (House Celeste section), otherwise the white wolf will not appear.
Q: Can I use Silver Fang to fly like a Dragon?
A: No, Silver Fang is strictly a ground mount. However, his advantage over the Dragon is that you can freely ride through towns and villages without causing panic among the populace.
Q: What if I already killed Silver Fang before the 1.01.00 patch?
A: Don’t worry, you won’t miss out. The developers confirmed that players who have already hunted this legendary creature will retroactively receive the summoning item in their mail or “Extra Rewards List.”
Q: What are this mount’s biggest weaknesses?
A: Compared to other mounts (especially horses), Silver Fang is relatively slow and has a low pool of health and stamina. Think of him as a combat companion rather than a long-distance sprinter.
