Crimson Dye Beach is located on Rockjaw Coastwhich is located north of Ishikari Castle on the Ishikari Plains.

As you explore the beach, you will notice that there is no merchant nearby, but you can spot their boat offshore. If you search the beach, you will come across a sign that says “Light a fire. The flame will call me.” You might think you need to start a huge fire to bring the merchant ashore, but the answer is actually right next to the sign.

Look on the ground next to the sign to see a fire. Light the fire to start a cutscene that shows a boat and a crimson dye merchant appearing on the shore.
