Most bounty marks are simple affairs - you find the bounty contract posted around, then head to the marker on your map, locate the target and when they run, chase them, tackle them, give their face a few new lumps, then tie them up and take them back to the guard station/constabulary. Not really worth individual guides. Blix is a bit different, however, as he’s got hostile allies and is willing to fight for his freedom. With a little bit of effort, however, you can apprehend this troublesome mark and bring him back to to the guards for the full reward, and to that end this page will cover how to capture Blix alive in Crimson Desert!

| How to Capture Blix Alive |
Blix can be found near the Goldleaf Guildhouse, south of the Nas River.
He’ll appear at round 8:00 in the morning - keep running back and forth until you see the red flag appear on your minimap.
Blix’s Location¶
As with other bounties, find a bounty posting for Blix (probably somewhere in the confines of the city of Hernand) and like normal, his location will be marked on the map - Blix can be found southeast of Hernand city, near the “Unicorn Cliff” text on the map, just west of the Goldleaf Guildhouse, which in turn is along the eastern edge of the Hernand Highlands. Blix isn’t actually on the elevated part of the highlands, however, instead he’s in a crevasse - if you head due south from the Nas River Fishing Dock you’re just to run afoul of him…
…or not. Capturing Blix alive isn’t the only tricky part of this bounty hunt, finding him can be a bother, too! In our experience, Blix only likes to spawn in the morning, around 8:00, but he won’t spawn if you’re standing nearby. What we had luck with was waiting until around 7:00 in the morning, then heading north to the river and south to Blix’s spawn location until Blix and his posse finally appeared - you’ll know when Blix is around as you’ll see a red marker on the map.
How to Capture Blix Alive¶
Finding Blix is half the battle, but the other half the battle… well, is an actual battle. Blix has allies, and they’re willing to spill blood to keep the long arm of the law away from Blix. Approach the crevasses they hide in and try to lure them out by shooting at them with your bow, but if you see a mostly naked goblin running about, avoid him - that’s Blix, and the goal is to bring him back alive, remember. If you’re lucky, you’ll only aggro one of Blix’s minions, but if you anger the whole lot, just as well - lure them north (towards the river) just so you’re fighting in more open ground and if Blix end up joining the fracas you can more easily maneuver around so you’re not hitting him.
Pick off Blix’s allies then lure Blix out into the open, too. Block his attacks if you must, but don’t retaliate. When he’s been lured a ways north out of his crevasse, run away until he deaggros you. Once done, turn around, press L3 to sneak, and wait for Blix to start trudging back to the cresvass where you found him. Sneak up behind him and you’ll see the “Tackle” prompt (X). At this point, things should go smoothly enough, like other bounties - tackle him, smack him about the face and neck until you get the option to tie him up, load him on your horse, and ride back to Hernand.
When you hand Blix over to the guards outside the west gate you’ll get your full reward: 15 silver and +200 Contribution. Not a bad reward for a little restraint… but honestly taking half the reward to just bring in Blix’s corpse isn’t a bad deal, either. A good bit less bother, too.
