Starting the Quest
Meeting the Witch of Wisdom is part of the “Black and White” Main Quest storyline, where you have to find the Witch of Wisdom. She then has the request to cleanse four sanctums:
-> Sanctum of Absolution
-> Sanctum of Temperance
-> Sanctum of Penitence
-> Sanctum of Benediction
The Witch of Wisdom is part of the Hernand: Witches Quest Section.
Quest description:
“They say witches live in hidden locations throughout Pywel.”
Liberate the Sanctum of Benediction
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 Fourth Edict declares: Let only those who embrace suffering and seek to draw nearer to liberation be granted benediction.”
The Sanctum of Benediction is near the western border of the Crimson Desert world map. Defeat the Antumbra Order and liberate the place first.
Cleanse the Sanctum of Benediction
After the liberation, the Sanctum of Benediction has to be cleansed. The Sanctum, four pillars, two parts – a power cube and a pillar part – you need to restore them, which are visible on the minimap with specific symbols. So keep your eye on it while exploring.
The power cube is in one of the bigger rooms, one floor down; the pillar part is in the room with the brick door. Just light the nearby stone lantern to open the door. There is also a treasure chest inside. Use Axiom Force to take the cube and the pillar part to the Sanctum.
At the Sanctum of Benediction, put the two pieces into their slots (2x Sanctum of Benediction Fusion Reactor Core) and lock them in with Force Palm for the cube and jump-Force Palm for the pillar part to restore the Sanctum of Benediction.
Where is the Treasure Chest at the Sanctum of Benediction
On the same level as the Sanctum is also a closed brick door. To open it, light the nearby stone lantern.
To open it, light the nearby stone lantern. The treasure chest is in the same room as the top pillar part, which you need to cleanse the Sanctum of Benediction.
