Crimson Desert: Unlock the Kuku Cooler Blueprint (Invention of the Workshop)

How to unlock the Invention of the Workshop quest in Crimson Desert and get the Kuku Cooler Blueprint — the House Roberts, Serkis, and Alfonso requirements.

Fusion Thunder By •

Quick Answer

To unlock the Invention of the Workshop questline (and the Kuku Cooler Blueprint via 'A Special Blueprint'), you need: Chapter 4 of the main story, House Roberts 10/10, House Serkis 3/13, and at least one House of Alfonso mission. House Serkis is the hard one to find — rescue the old man held by bandits at Anvil Hill in Hernand to start 'Flame Melting the Chains', then finish House Roberts to unlock the next Serkis quest 'Lord Amidst the Ruins'. After an Alfonso mission, the quest appears under Hernand Requests.

The Kuku Cooler Blueprint is gated behind the Invention of the Workshop questline, which itself has a stack of faction prerequisites — and the House Serkis chain is famously hard to find. Here’s the full unlock path.

Short Answer

You need: Chapter 4 of the main story, House Roberts 10/10, House Serkis 3/13, and at least one House of Alfonso mission. House Serkis is the tricky one — at Anvil Hill in Hernand, rescue the old man held by bandits to start “Flame Melting the Chains”, then finish the House Roberts questline to unlock the next Serkis quest “Lord Amidst the Ruins”. After completing an Alfonso mission, Invention of the Workshop appears under Hernand Requests — finish its “A Special Blueprint” mission for the Kuku Cooler Blueprint.
