Learn how to cleanse the Sanctum of Deliverance in Crimson Desert, how to solve the secret puzzle, and deal with the Antumbra Order forces guarding it.
Where to find the Sanctum of Deliverance
You can find the Sanctum of Deliverance on the east side of the Stormtalon Ridge, in Hernand.
Important: You will only be able to solve the Sanctum of Exaltation puzzle after meeting Bari, the Witch of Kindness.
The Sanctum is part of The Witch of Kindness questline, which includes three more Sancrums you need to find and cleanse:
- Sanctum of Exaltation
- Sancrum of Deliverance (this one)
- Sanctum of Atonement
- Sanctum of Solace
Dealing with the Antumbra Order
You have to liberate the Sanctum first. Each Sanctum is guarded by forces of the Antumbra Order. The Antumbra Order is a group of religious zealots who believe that darkness can bring true balance to Pywel. Their way of worshipping is by offering human sacrifices.
Most of the enemies in the Sanctums fight with traditional melee weapons. However, a few of them fly and cast shadows that deal considerable damage. Having to deal with them while being overrun by the sword and axe wielders is not fun, but luckily for you, there is an easy way to get rid of them.
To kill these flying enemies, simply use Blinding Flash to reflect the light against them. There is no death animation; they just disappear.
Arrows or Aerial Force Palm can work as well, but I don’t recommend this slower and less efficient method because the NPCs are very fast.
How to Cleanse the Sanctum
Go to the Sanctum, then take the left path that surrounds the bigger structure at the center.
You eventually arrive at these metal gates. Turn the braziers on to open it. The first fusion core is inside; seal it inside your Kuku Pot.
Make sure to loot the treasure chest that’s just a few steps away. It contains the Alpha Wolf Helm.
Go out and look for the highest structure. You have to climb all the way to the top.
There’s a specific spot on the floor that will break once you come close to it. It’s a long fall, so be careful.
The second fusion core is at the bottom. Seal it with your Kuku Pot and exit the same way you got in.
Now all you have to do is place both fusion cores in the right place.
You don’t have to perfectly align them. They will go in with Force Palm when you see a green glow.
Second (Secret) Puzzle
There is a hidden puzzle in this Sanctum. See the blue crystal at the front of the Sanctum? You have to use the Blinding Flash to redirect light directly into it. The circle with the little gems will start to rotate.
Make sure to focus the light only when a gem is passing through the circle at the top. A metallic sound will trigger when you do it correctly. I’d describe it as something metallic being hit with a sword.
Try to get used to the timing. That will make it easier for you. The piece that comes out of the Sanctum is the actual reward, not another part of the puzzle. Seal it away on your Kuku Pot.
If you have a custom keybind for Blinding Flash on a single button, this may prevent you from completing this puzzle and timing here is key.
Rewards
As a reward for cleansing the Sanctum of Deliverance, you will receive the Flame-Resistant Armor and Kuku Frostspitter blueprints.
The core of Deliverance is the reward for completing the hidden puzzle. This item is used to craft some cool Kuku Pot items.
