Where to find The Witch of Kindness
You must go southeast of the Wayward Woods to find a shivering person. Turn on the fire that is close to her; this will begin a conversation.
After helping this stranger, she will say that you are welcome to visit her anytime, then disappear. The next step is to meet Bari the Witch. She is in the middle of a lake south of the Silver Wolf Mountain.
Bari is going to send you to cleanse four different Sanctums, which are now plagued by a dark group known as The Antumbra Order. After completing this task, you must return to Bari to claim the rewards.
Facing the Antumbra Order
This Questline involves cleansing occupied Sanctums. You first need to get rid of the Antumbra Order zealots before being able to interact with the puzzles.
The Antumbra Order is mostly filled with two types of enemies: a majority wielding melee weapons, and a reduced number that can fly and cast shadows.
The second type is the most dangerous and annoying of the lot by far. 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.
It’s possible to clear the Sanctums of these enemies at any time, but if you haven’t talked to Elowen, you will not be able to cleanse the Sanctums.
Sanctum of Exaltation
You can find the Sanctum of Exaltation on the northern side of Pailune, east of the Silver Wolf Mountain.
Sanctum of Deliverance
You can find the Sanctum of Deliverance on the east side of the Stormtalon Ridge, in Hernand.
Sanctum of Atonement
You can find the Sanctum of Atonement west of the Haunted Hill, in Hernand.
Sanctum of Solace
You can find the Sanctum of Solace east of the Wayward Woods, in Pailune.
To fully clear this Sanctum, you also need to defeat Antumbra’s Staff. One of the three minor bosses of the Antumbra Order. This guy can be overwhelming, so I recommend that you come prepared with lots of food and decent gear.
