Quest description:
“They say witches live in hidden locations throughout Pywel.”

Description
“A place said to be imbued with spiritual power. It is known to have been created by someone in the past to restore the world and its providence, yet its power is so great that Antumbra revere it as sacred ground. The Seventh Edict declares: Should the thought of abandoning your faith arise, be penitent and purify your heart.”

The Sanctum of Penitence is southeast of Howling Hill and the Goldleaf Guildhouse. Defeat the Antumbra Order and liberate the place first.

After the liberation, the Sanctum of Penitence has to be cleansed. The Sanctum, four pillars, and the only pillar-part you need to restore them are visible on the minimap with specific symbols. So keep your eye on it while exploring.

Enter the building and look for the top part of one of the pillars. It has a cubic shape and is in one of the top-floor rooms without a ceiling. Use Axiom Force on it and store it in the Kuku Pot.

Return to the Sanctum of Penitence and discard the Sanctum of Penitence Fusion Reactor Core from your Kuku Pot inventory. Pick it up with Axiom Force and put it on top of the damaged pillar. Then, climb the pillar and use a jump-Force Palm to lock the part in. This will cleanse the Sanctum of Penitence.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.

Where is the Sanctum of Absolution in Crimson Desert?

It is high up in the southwestern mountains, in the Mountain of Frozen Souls area, south of Scholastone Institute.

How do you cleanse the Sanctum of Absolution?

After liberating it, find two Fusion Reactor Cores – a cube hidden under jars in the corridor, and a tower top floating in the room near the fire trap. Use Axiom Force to collect both, then place them in their slots and lock them in with Force Palm.

How do you reach the treasure chest at the Sanctum of Absolution?

Exit the building and climb up one level to find a wall flap with hinges at the bottom. Climb on top, use Axiom Force on the wall, then Force Current. The wall flips and takes you straight to the chest. Light the stone lantern to lower the iron bars.
