If you’re stuck during the Rebel Suppression mission in Crimson Desert, the siege towers can feel confusing at first. They are massive, heavily guarded, and normal attacks barely damage them.
This guide explains exactly how to destroy all three siege towers quickly and complete the mission without wasting time.
What Is the Rebel Suppression Mission?
The Rebel Suppression mission in Crimson Desert takes place in Chapter 8: Blood Coronation and begins right after the Preparations for Advance quest. Your main goal is to reduce the enemy forces to 0% by defeating waves of rebels across the battlefield.
While the mission highlights siege towers as objectives, they are actually optional. However, destroying these towers speeds up your progress significantly by lowering the enemy percentage faster, making the overall battle easier to manage.
Where to Find Siege Towers in Crimson Desert Rebel Suppression
Once you enter the battlefield:
- Open your map
- Look for rook/tower markers
- You will find three wooden siege towers around the fortress
Each tower is:
- Surrounded by enemies
- Positioned near cannon locations on castle walls
Best Ways to Destroy Siege Towers
You have multiple options to take them down. Some are faster than others.
1. Use Cannons (Best Method)
This is the fastest and most reliable way.
Steps:
- Find a cannon near the tower
- Interact with it
- Aim directly at the tower
- Fire multiple shots until it collapses
Each destroyed tower reduces enemy force percentage by about 5%.
2. Use Fire-Based Attacks
Since towers are wooden, fire works well.
You can:
- Shoot burning arrows
- Use abilities like Blinding Flash / fire skills
This method works but may take longer than cannons.
3. Heavy Attack Combo (Less Effective)
You can also damage towers using:
- Left Mouse + Right Mouse (PC)
- Equivalent combo on controller
However:
- Damage is low
- Not recommended during heavy combat
Do You Need to Destroy All Three Towers?
No, destroying all three siege towers is optional in the Crimson Desert Rebel Suppression mission. You can complete the objective simply by defeating enemies until the percentage meter drops to 0%.
However, destroying the towers is highly recommended because each one reduces the enemy percentage faster, making the overall battle shorter and much easier to manage.
Important Enemy Tips (Don’t Skip This)
This battle is chaotic. These tips will save you from dying:
- Mounted enemies: Don’t stand behind them (they kick hard)
- Grappling enemies: Be ready for quick-time counter
- Stay above 50% health to survive sudden attacks
- Keep moving to avoid getting surrounded
Also, a strong enemy appears:
Cursed Knight (Mini Boss Preview)
- Appears near siege towers
- Very strong and shielded
- Disappears after taking some damage
- Do not waste time fighting him
How to Finish Rebel Suppression Fast in Crimson Desert
To complete the Rebel Suppression mission quickly, follow a balanced approach that focuses on both objectives and efficiency. Start by destroying the siege towers using nearby cannons, as this gives a quick percentage reduction and speeds up progress. Then keep moving across the battlefield instead of staying in one spot, so you can engage more enemies and avoid getting overwhelmed.
Use crowd control weapons to handle groups efficiently, and rotate between different areas to farm enemies and reduce the percentage steadily. This strategy helps you finish the mission faster while minimizing unnecessary risk.
You can win the mission without touching the towers, but that turns it into a long grind. Destroying them saves time and reduces pressure during the fight. Play Now!
