In Crimson Desert, several challenges require you to cleanse and restore specific Sanctums. From locating specific items to placing them at the correct spot, completing all the Sanctum challenges can be a bit tricky at times. In this guide, we’ve outlined everything you need to know to complete the cleansing and restoring challenges as easily as possible.
How to Cleanse Sanctum Of Temperance
To cleanse the Sanctum of Temperance, go to the sanctum and clean it by using the Axiom ability, burn the vines using the sword light attack, and fall through the roof hole down to the bottom of the sanctum. When you reach the bottom, there will be a piece of broken pillar; use your Axiom ability to pull it towards yourself and place it on the incomplete pillar. After the broken pillar is placed, climb up the pillars and use Force Punch to slam the broken pillar down to hold it in place on the other pillar.
Next, if you are missing the required Abyss item, go back to the starting area, and check out the second and third rooms. After you find the Abyss item, pick it up and bring it back, using the pot if available or use Axiom to drag it. With the Abyss item brought back, find the empty power slot that does not have a core and put the Abyss in place. After that, use Force Punch to push it down completely through the slot. This action completes the cleansing process.
How to Cleanse Sanctum Of Exaltation
To purify the Sanctum of Exaltation, you must traverse the entire area until you arrive at the location of the item you require that is located underneath the surface of the water. Since you cannot grip any object that exists beneath the surface of the water, you will have to take action to remove whatever is preventing you from getting to the item.
Travel to the location and, by using your heavy attack (both light and heavy attack used simultaneously), break it so that the water flows out from underneath it. After the water has gone out, you can retrieve the pieces and keep moving forward.
How to Restore Sanctum Of Benediction
If you want to restore the Sanctum of Benediction, you need to go downstairs to get the power block and take it to the generator and put it in the slot and use the Force Slap ability to activate the generator. Keep in mind that if you die, leave the area, or go outside a certain distance from the generator, the items you need for restoring the sanctum will be lost. However, if you lose them, you can recover them from the lost items section at your camp location.
If you have made it through Chapter 4 and now have the special pot, this should make it easier for you to grab the next object. Jump up to the window and use the Axiom ability to lock onto the sphere-shaped item located inside. Once you are locked onto the item, you’ll be able to store it in the pot. After that, jump back down and discard the item from the pot, since the option to place it directly may be unavailable.
After you get the object from your pot, you’ll have to use your Axiom to move the object into position on the top of the tower. It does not have to be perfectly placed; so long as you have it roughly in position on top of the tower, then you can climb up on the tower and jump off of it using the Force Punch ability, which will allow you to secure the object in place and be finished with restoring the sanctum.
How to Restore Sanctum Of Mortification
The Sanctum of Mortification will be available during the main story, so you can only access it when you get here with the required character from the story. First off, you need to go to the bottom of the tower. There you will find vines blocking the path. Burn the vines using your sword, and you will find a grate with an Abyss structure behind it.
Use your Axiom Pull ability on the structure, and then place it into your pot. Next, go around to the corner and pick up the object from the nearby doorway. This is another floating cube-like object. Once you have both objects, go to the main puzzle area.
Remove the circular shape from your pot and put it on top of the pillar. After doing so, climb on top of the object. Now, use your jump ability and then your Force Punch attack downwards to secure it in place. Take out your power cube and go to the side where you see an opening in your structure. Place your power cube in the slot and then slide it in correctly before using your Force Punch attack to secure it in place. After doing so, your sanctum will be restored, and your puzzle will be complete.
How to Restore Sanctum Of Absolution
In order to restore the Sanctum of Absolution in Crimson Desert, you need to go to the main room near the boss location. You will see many pots placed around the room. Break all of these pots and collect the Power Cube placed inside. Now, you need to collect the top part of the tower. To do so, go down to the fire-filled room and collect the tower piece.
After you have both of these items ready, you should put the Power Cube into the correct slot by using a Focus Punch. Then you should put the tower top back into the correct position. Next, you should climb up onto the structure you have built. Then you should use a Focus Punch on the top. At this point, the sanctum is restored, and the puzzle is solved.
If you place one part of the puzzle and then walk too far away while looking for the other piece. If you move too far, the item you left behind can disappear. If that happens, return to your camp and speak to the NPC where you donate materials. Check the Lost Item section there, and you can recover missing puzzle items for around 10 Silver each.
