    Completing the Sanctum of Solace in Crimson Desert: A Cleaning Guide

    There are many enemies and bosses you’ll face in Crimson Desert, especially during the Witches Faction Quest. Antumbra’s Staff is the third boss enemy in the Antumbra series, coming after you meet the Witch of Kindness.

    If you’ve already defeated Antumbra’s Sword and managed to survive the rapid attacks of Antumbra’s Spear, you’ll be well-prepared for this next fight. We’ll tell you where to find the boss and how to defeat Antumbra’s Staff easily, especially if you use one of the strongest weapon setups in the game.

    How to Find Antumbra’s Staff

    You can go to the Sanctum of Solace anytime after you meet the Witch of Kindness. You first encounter Bari, the Witch of Kindness, in a tent east of Wayward Woods, shivering in the cold. After meeting Bari, she asks for your help to cleanse several sanctums in Pailune, including the Sanctum of Solace, which is just east of the letter “A” in “Pailune.”

    At this location, you’ll find Antumbra’s Staff along with a group of zealots ready for battle. This is the spot where you challenge and fight the boss.

    How to Defeat Antumbra’s Staff

    Antumbra’s Staff is a very powerful and quick boss, so you need to be ready to dodge its attacks while dealing significant damage using the right gear and skills. Here’s a guide to preparing and fighting the boss effectively.

    How to Prepare

    You should focus on mastering certain skills before the fight:

    • Evasive Roll (Spirit)
    • Focus (Spirit)
    • Force Palm (Spirit)
    • Keen Senses (Spirit)
    • Nature’s Snare (Spirit)

    For bow builds, add:

    • Evasive Shot (Stamina)
    • Marksmanship (Stamina)

    For melee-focused builds, consider:

    • Armed Combat (Stamina)
    • Forward Slash (Stamina)
    • Turning Slash (Stamina)

    Also, level up your attributes to these levels to survive and maximize damage:

    • Health: Level 7 or higher
    • Spirit: Level 6 or higher
    • Stamina: Level 10 or higher

    Gear and Power Setup

    Once your skills and attributes are ready, you’re set to fight. Use the following tips:

    • Equip a bow with Infinite Arrows and Explosive Arrows. Every hit will knock the boss back, and you can keep juggling it in the air with your Evasive Shot skill.
    • Alternatively, if you prefer melee, focus on upholding your best gear and skills for close combat.

    During the Fight

    Watch for Antumbra’s attack patterns:

    • Teleporting slash
    • Shadow projectile attack

    To succeed:

    • Use the Focus skill to slow down the fight and react better.
    • When anticipating a melee attack, dodge and counterattack with a few hits.
    • When shadow projectiles are launched, use Nature’s Snare to absorb and reflect them.
    • Use Force Palm to weaken the boss and build up the stagger meter.
    • Aim to stagger the boss so you can perform a Turning Slash finisher when it’s vulnerable.

    Repeat these tactics of countering, stunning, and attacking until you deal enough damage to defeat Antumbra’s Staff.

    Rewards for Defeating Antumbra’s Staff

    Once defeated, you’ll receive:

    • Abyss Artifact
    • Guidance of Dark Pursuit

    After the boss is down, clear out the remaining zealots in the area to fully complete the area cleanup.

    Cleansing the Sanctum of Solace

    To fully cleanse the Sanctum, you need to gather materials for the final step. Head southwest of the large machine into a dark chamber with a water pool. Here, you will find two missing pieces needed to repair the sanctum’s machine.

    First, grab the large column block floating in the corner. Then, locate the small square power core behind some bars, accessed through a crack in the wall. Use Axiom Force to store the pieces in your Kuku Pot, then use Force Palm to reconnect the broken column and insert the power core into its socket.

    Once the sanctum is cleansed, Bari will arrive to thank you. However, there’s one more step: obtaining the Core of Solace.

    How to Get the Core of Solace

    The sanctum contains a secret puzzle. Approach the front panel with a circular pattern and small gems. Use the Blinding Flash skill to illuminate the panel, then focus the light on aligning the gems with 12 o’clock. Correctly timing your flashes will rotate the pattern, progressing the puzzle.

    When all gems align properly, the Core of Solace will emerge from the top of the machine. Use Axiom Force to grab it and store it in your Kuku Pot for safekeeping.

  • How to Cleanse the Sanctum of Exaltation by Completing in Crimson Desert

    How to Cleanse the Sanctum of Exaltation by Completing in Crimson Desert

    In Crimson Desert, you will encounter several large structures that are heavily guarded by fanatic cult members. Tasked by different witches in the game, your goal is to clear these Sanctums and restore the dormant powerful machines inside to earn rewards like Kuku blueprints.

    One such structure is the Sanctum of Exaltation, which you need to clear of enemies to earn good rewards. Here’s how to cleanse the Sanctum of Exaltation.

    Sanctum of Exaltation Location

    To find the Sanctum of Exaltation, head to the northern part of Pailune, just southwest of the Silver Wolf Mountains marked on your map. It’s recommended to wear armor or Abyss Gear with Ice Resistance to counter the cold weather, which boosts stamina regeneration. The Helfryn Leather Cloak is a good choice, obtainable by following a specific guide.

    Before approaching, you need to discover and speak to Bari, the Witch of Kindness. She can be found in the mountains northwest of the P in Pailune. Find her trying to survive the cold, approach her and light the fire to warm her up. She will reveal herself as a witch and mark her location on your map.

    Visit Bari at her home, choose “Listen to Request,” and she will ask you to liberate the sanctums in Pailune. This causes cultists to move into the Sanctum of Exaltation, making it accessible for cleansing.

    How to Cleanse the Sanctum of Exaltation

    First, eliminate all cultists in the area. The enemies include basic soldiers wielding swords and spears, as well as flying wizards throwing dark magic from a distance. Use arrows to take out the wizards, as hitting them will force them to the ground, leaving them vulnerable to attack. There are no major bosses here, so just keep fighting until the enemy meter reaches zero. Once it hits zero, a cutscene will show the cultists fleeing, and it becomes safe to explore and solve the remaining puzzles.

    Repair the Machine

    With enemies gone, focus on repairing the machine at the top of the Sanctum. You’ll need to find two parts: a destroyed pillar piece and a Reactor Core.

    To get the pillar piece, drain the water flooding the room. Look for a cracked, frozen-over wall to the right of the stairs leading up before the machine. Strike the crack with Force Palm to release the water, then go up the stairs and look into the hole on the right. Inside, you’ll find the pillar fragment. Use Axiom Force to carry it back and connect it to the missing top of the pillar in the main room by striking it with Force Palm.

    Next, retrieve the Reactor Core, located at the bottom of the Sanctum. Find the destroyed bridge and jump down onto the remaining segment attached to the structure. Among the rubble blocking the main entrance, the floating Reactor Core is visible. Carry it back to the machine and place it in the square-shaped slot. Strike it with Force Palm to power up the machine. A cutscene will then feature Bari arriving as the machine activates.

    Lightning Bolt Plate Gloves Location

    Before leaving, revisit the floor where you broke the wall to drain the water. Find a door with iron bars blocking your path. Light the torches on either side to lower the bars. Inside, you’ll find a chest containing the Lightning Bolt Plate Gloves, a Level 3 armor piece with two Abyss Gear slots, offering 18 Attack, 3 Defense, and increased Movement Speed. They’re useful early on, though the gear slots don’t contain any especially unique or powerful items.

    Core of Exaltation Location

    The final major reward is the Core of Exaltation, associated with the activated machine at the top. Stand on the ornate platform before the machine, activate your Blinding Light ability (Left Bumper + Right Bumper), then select Focus Light by pressing Left Bumper again. Use Focus Light on the central gem while the smaller surrounding gems align at the top. Wait for the smaller gems to line up correctly; releasing Focus Light at the wrong moment causes the puzzle to reset. When successful, the machine will produce the Core of Exaltation. Capture it with Axiom Force and store it in your Kuku Pot for future crafting. This completes the Sanctum of Exaltation, which you won’t need to revisit.

  • How To Cleanse the Sanctum of Temperance in Crimson Desert by Completing and Solving

    How To Cleanse the Sanctum of Temperance in Crimson Desert by Completing and Solving

    If you’ve explored around the map of Crimson Desert, you might have already come across some sanctums. At first, you can’t do much with these structures, but once you meet the Witch of Wisdom, she will ask you to activate them.

    Activating each sanctum involves two steps. First, you need to free it from the Antumbra Order. Then, you must cleanse it by finding missing pieces hidden in specific locations. For the Sanctum of Temperance, you’ll need to use a special ability to locate these pieces.

    Where to Find the Sanctum of Temperance

    The Sanctum of Temperance is one of the closest to Hernand city, which you start near after the prologue. There’s a good chance you’ve already found it. However, if you try to access it before reaching chapter five of the main story, you won’t be able to do anything with it.

    To get there, head south from Hernand city until you cross the river. Then, follow the road running east of the river heading south. Continue until you pass the Unicorn Cliff area, then take the first road heading south. This will lead you directly to the sanctum. On the way, you can also unlock an Abyss Nexus.

    How to Cleanse the Sanctum of Temperance

    When you arrive at the Sanctum of Temperance, your first task is to liberate it by defeating enemies. There will be a progress bar on the left side of your screen when you’re close. Every time you defeat an enemy, this bar decreases. When it hits zero, the sanctum is considered freed.

    You’ll encounter several flying enemies inside the sanctum. You can knock them down with an arrow when they aren’t charging an attack, then finish them off with your weapon.

    After freeing the sanctum, your next goal is to find a missing cube and a piece of a pillar for the main mechanism. The cube is hidden in a hole on the northern side of the mechanism. You can see an icon for it on your minimap when you’re nearby.

    The missing part of the pillar is marked on your map close to the mechanism itself but hidden inside a vine-covered building. Since there’s no fire source inside, the only way to burn the vines is by using your Blinding Flash ability. Hold down the first button after activating this ability to focus light on the vines until they burn away.

    As you locate the missing parts, you can store them in your Kuku pot. When you’re ready to assemble, bring them close to the mechanism using the Axiom Force ability. Watch for the appearance of green leaves around the parts—this indicates they’re ready to be placed. Use Force Palm to fit them into their spots, and remember to jump on top of the pillar before using Force Palm to place it downward into position.

  • How To Cleanse The Sanctum Of Absolution in Crimson Desert by Completing and Solving

    How To Cleanse The Sanctum Of Absolution in Crimson Desert by Completing and Solving

    Crimson Desert developers intentionally designed the game to gradually introduce players to its world, which can make early gameplay feel a bit slow. After the prologue, you’re free to explore the map, but you’ll encounter many areas and objects you can’t interact with yet.

    One example of this is the sanctums scattered across the world. When you approach them, a message from the witch will tell you that you’re not ready to enter. The Sanctum of Absolution is one of the first four sanctums that become accessible, and here’s how to cleanse it.

    The Sanctum of Absolution is located toward the southwestern edge of the map, quite a distance from the main city of Hernand where you start after the prologue. It’s best to look for it after completing the Reed Devil main quest in the third chapter. This quest takes you to the southwestern part of the map, starting from Reedwind Valley. You should travel west to find a teleport point on a mountain, then head north until you find the sanctum. At first, you won’t be able to do anything there; you’ll need to wait until you meet the witch of wisdom.

    To cleanse the sanctum, you’ll need to defeat enemies until the progress bar drops to zero. Then, you’ll face a powerful boss called Antumbra’s Sword. After defeating the boss, activate the main mechanism near the northern side of the sanctum to begin the cleansing process. You’ll need to find a broken pillar piece inside nearby ruins and a cube that fits into the hollow center of a structure. The pillar piece can be retrieved by entering the ruins next to the main mechanism.

    When inside the ruins, go into the room on your left. Use the Axiom Force ability to bring the pillar back to the mechanism. The cube can be found on the opposite side of the ruins, near the area where you battle Antumbra’s Sword. Be cautious of traps beneath the holes in the ground, and break jars along the way to uncover the cube.

    Use the Axiom Force to move both the pillar part and the cube to their respective spots near the main mechanism. Once in position, use Force Palm to place them correctly and activate the structure. When the leaves around the mechanism turn green, the sanctum has been successfully cleansed.

  • How to Cleanse the Sanctum of Benediction in Crimson Desert by Completing and Solving

    How to Cleanse the Sanctum of Benediction in Crimson Desert by Completing and Solving

    As you reach chapter five in Crimson Desert, you won’t be able to move forward with the main story until you save a witch from a house and then meet her at her home. Meeting Elowen allows you to continue the story and unlocks a faction mission to cleanse four sanctums located across Hernand.

    Most of these sanctums are near spots you’ve already visited in earlier chapters, making them easier to find. However, the Sanctum of Benediction might lead you into an unexplored area, requiring you to cross numerous mountains to reach it.

    ### Where to Find the Sanctum of Benediction

    When you zoom all the way out on the map, Hernand is clearly marked as one of the main regions. To locate the Sanctum of Benediction, look just below the “E” in Hernand. It’s likely an area you haven’t explored yet if you’re trying to cleanse sanctums early in the quest.

    The best way to get there is to start from the city of Hernand, head slightly north, then move straight west just below the Hernand label on the map. Expect to cross some mountains along the way; riding your horse might not be possible the entire journey.

    ### How to Cleanse the Sanctum of Benediction

    Once you arrive at the Sanctum of Benediction, you’ll notice it’s covered in snow, which can make the environment quite cold unless you’re wearing ice-resistant clothing. The cold increases stamina drain and slows regeneration, making fights a bit tougher.

    Your first task is to defeat enough enemies to free the sanctum. After clearing it, head south from the location to find the missing cube needed for the main mechanism. Descend some stairs, and you’ll see the cube floating in a room to your right.

    > Tip: If fighting enemies is challenging, you can use this room to isolate and take them out one by one.

    For the missing pillar part, look southwest of the main mechanism. There’s a secret door to this room’s side; it can be opened by lighting a nearby lantern. Bring both parts to the main mechanism and connect them using Axiom Force and Force Palm techniques.

    This process will cleanse the Sanctum of Benediction and complete this part of the quest.
