Crimson Desert: Sanctum of Benediction Guide

The Sanctum of Benediction is one of four sanctums you must cleanse for the Witch of Wisdom as part of the Black and White main questline in Crimson Desert. Located near the western edge of the map, southeast of Howling Hill and the Goldleaf Guildhouse, this guide walks you through every step – from liberating the area by defeating Antumbra Order enemies, to retrieving the two Fusion Reactor Cores inside the building, and locking them into place to fully restore the Sanctum. There’s also a hidden treasure chest inside.

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 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.

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.

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.
