Rewards

After completing all Sanctums and the Witch of Strength quest, you will end up with the following rewards:

Where to find the Witch of Strength

Areciel 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 Areciel to claim the reward.

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 Areciel, you will not be able to cleanse the Sanctums.

Sanctum of Expiation

You can find the Sanctum of Expiation northwest of the Kingshield Mountains and east of Drakesfall Gorge, in Demeniss.

Sanctum of Renunciation

You can find the Sanctum of Renunciation northeast of Drywind Valley and east of the Red River. Along the southern border of The Crimson Desert, very close to Deleysia.

Sanctum of Revelation

The Sanctum of Revelation is on an island located northeast of the Serpent Marsh, right between Demeniss and Delesyia.
