Bounty hunting in Crimson Desert is one of the better ways to earn silver early on, and Bianca is one of the trickier targets you'll encounter. She doesn't stand around waiting to be grabbed. She bolts the moment she spots you, and her exact location shifts around the Church of Hernand in ways that catch a lot of players off guard. Here's exactly how to unlock the quest, track her down, and bring her in alive for the full payout.
How do you unlock Bianca's bounty quest?
Before you can chase Bianca, you need her Bounty Notice. These posters appear on lamp posts, notice boards, and walls throughout Hernand, and they show up as purple page icons on your minimap. The system only activates after you reach Chapter 2, so if you're still in the prologue or Chapter 1, the posters won't be there yet.
The specific bounty you receive from any given poster is random, but your odds of pulling Bianca's Bounty Notice are highest in Hernand's main city area. One reliable spot is a lamp post near Beggar's End on the outskirts of the city, and the western side of Hernand is another confirmed location. Completing earlier bounties first also improves the chances of her poster appearing.
Once you grab the poster, inspect it by pressing the button shown in the bottom-right corner of your screen. A progress bar appears in the top-left. Let it fill completely to register Bianca's last known locations and activate the quest marker on your map.
Keep your minimap visible while walking through Hernand. The purple bounty poster icon is easy to miss if you're sprinting between objectives.
Where is Bianca in Crimson Desert?
After reading the poster, the quest marks an area on the eastern edge of Hernand, near Hillside Manor. The poster lists both Hillside Manor and the Church of Hernand as last-seen locations. In practice, the church is where you'll almost always find her.
Bianca moves constantly, so her exact position changes. When you enter the marked circle, switch your attention to the minimap and look for a white page icon rather than relying on the circle alone. This icon tracks her real-time position and can appear outside the quest boundary.
Here are the three spots where she shows up most often:
- Church lower floor kitchen: Enter the church's main entrance, take the door on your right, and head down the stairs. This is the most consistent location.
- Right side of the church exterior: She sometimes stands against the outer wall on the right.
- Behind the church: The eastern side of the building, near the back.
Lower floor kitchen entrance
If you've circled all three spots and she's nowhere to be found, don't waste time looping endlessly. Use the pass time mechanic or sleep at a camp to advance the in-game clock, then return. Bianca only appears during the daytime, so if you arrive at night she simply won't be there.
Bianca will immediately sprint away the moment she detects you. Don't approach slowly or try to sneak up from a distance. Close the gap fast before she builds separation.
How do you capture Bianca alive?
Capturing her alive is the only way to get the full reward, so the sequence matters. Here's the exact process:
- Sprint toward Bianca as soon as you spot her white page icon on the minimap.
- When you're close enough, press the Tackle button to pin her to the ground.
- With her pinned, hit her several times until the Tie Up prompt appears on screen.
- Activate Tie Up, then pick up her body.
- Load her onto your mount and ride to the nearest Constabulary.
- Enter the Constabulary and hand her over to the guards to collect your reward.
The number of hits required before the Tie Up option appears is roughly three, though landing clean strikes matters more than counting. If she breaks free before the prompt appears, tackle her again and continue.
Killing Bianca by accident cuts your reward in half. Stay off heavy finishing moves once she's on the ground and wait for the tie-up prompt before doing anything else.

What are the rewards for completing Bianca's bounty?
Delivering Bianca alive to the Constabulary earns you the following:
The silver is modest, but the +300 Hernandian Contribution EXP is the real value here. Contribution standing with Hernand opens up faction quests, vendor access, and other progression options tied to the region. For a bounty that takes under ten minutes once you know where to look, the EXP gain is solid.
Tips for finding Bianca faster
- Check the lower floor kitchen first. Out of all three spawn locations, this one has the highest consistency. Going straight there saves time on most attempts.
- Use the white page icon, not the quest circle. The circle is approximate. The minimap icon is exact.
- Daytime only. If the icon isn't showing at all, advance the clock and try again.
- Mount up before approaching. Having your horse ready means you can load Bianca and reach the Constabulary without delay.
- Don't kill her. The reward halves if she dies. Use the tackle and wait for the tie-up prompt.
Bounty quests are worth prioritizing early because the Contribution EXP compounds quickly across multiple targets. For more Crimson Desert faction quests, side content, and progression tips, browse more guides on GAMES.GG to keep your playthrough moving efficiently.
