What Are the Lilith & Talgrim Bounties?
Lilith and Talgrim are both part of the “Plenty of Bounty” faction quest chain in Crimson Desert Crimsondesert, which features a roster of outlaws scattered across the continent of Pywel. Like all bounty targets, the goal is the same: track them down, capture them alive for maximum reward, and haul them back to the regional constabulary.
How to Unlock Bounties First?
Bounty posters start appearing around Hernand city in Chapter 2, pinned to various posts around the city. When you pick up a bounty and read it, the target’s last known location gets marked on the map.
To get started, check the notices plastered on bulletin boards and posts in towns, smaller settlements, and roadsides — they have a purple scroll icon on the minimap to make them easier to spot. Once you’ve found one, grab it and read it by pressing and holding CTRL on keyboard or LB/L1 on a gamepad. GameSpot

Key Tips for Lilith & Talgrim
When you spot your target, they will almost always panic and run. You have to sprint after them and tackle them. Once on the ground, punch them three times to beat a confession out of them — this usually drops as evidence in your inventory. After the confession, a prompt to restrain them appears.

If the horse takes too much damage or bucks, Kliff and the bounty target could fall, so it’s better to avoid areas with a lot of enemies on the return ride.
You can actually turn in two bounty targets in one go — carry the first and load the other onto your horse — which saves time when chaining contracts.
Alive pays double. You will get only half the payout if you killed your mark instead of tackling, beating, and tying them up — plus a hefty boost to Contribution, making bounties a great early-game activity for building wealth and reputation.

Turn in outlaws at the local constabulary inside the region where their bounty was posted — the bottom of the notice tells you exactly which constabulary to head to.
