The developers of the action game Crimson Desert from Pearl Abyss managed to surprise fans by adding a full-fledged arcade pinball game to the harsh fantasy world. Secret machines can be found in the tavern in the city of Delessia, and the minigame itself offers not only a break from quests but also the opportunity to earn a unique currency—Marnie Tokens. These can be used to purchase rare Abyssal Artifacts, home decor items, and even a gear blueprint: Flame Guardian from the special merchant Jasper. Apparently, this isn’t just a casual game for a few minutes, but an important endgame activity for collectors.

Where are the pinball machines in Crimson Desert?
You can find the minigame inside the central tavern in Delessia. It’s quite easy to find on the map—just follow the tavern marker.
Upon entering the location, head straight to the back wall where three pinball tables are located. To start the game, approach the machine, hold L1/LB to inspect it, and then activate it with Square/X. Keep in mind that each attempt costs 1 Silver Coin, so it’s a good idea to save up some minted cash before your visit.
How to Score Maximum Points and Earn Marnie Tokens?
The mechanics are classic, but with a twist that will test your reflexes. To start, hold Square/X to launch the metal ball onto the field, then use L1/LB and R1/RB to control the left and right bumpers.
The goal is simple: keep the ball on the playing field as long as possible, completing a combo. The higher your final score at the end of the session, the more special currency the machine will reward you. You can’t fall down, otherwise the session will end, and your precious 1 Silver Coin will be wasted.
