Crimson Desert: Sanctum of Temperance

The Sanctum of Temperance is one of four sanctums the Witch of Wisdom asks you to liberate and cleanse in Crimson Desert, as part of the Black and White main quest storyline.

Located just below the Goldleaf Guildhouse, it also ties into the Darkness over the Sanctum questline. This guide covers how to liberate the sanctum and walks you through all the steps needed to cleanse it, including what to look for and how to interact with the environment to complete it.

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

The Sanctum of Temperance is just below the Goldleaf Guildhouse. It is also part of the Pailune, Antumbra Order Quest Section, but this time, the Darkness over the Sanctum questline.

There is no boss fight needed here, just defeat the local hostiles until you’ve liberated the place.

After the liberation, the Sanctum of Temperance has to be cleansed.

First, find the missing Fusion Reactor Core II. It’s a white cube you can place in your Kuku Pot with Axiom Force. It is also visible on the minimap. Put it inside the powered machine by first discarding it from the Kuku Pot, then using Axiom Force and Force Palm to return it.

Check the four towers around the center mechanism. One of the towers is missing the top part. There is a nearby building covered in vines. You need fire to burn the vines. There is a fire lantern on top of one of the buildings.

The vines will burn down, and you can enter the building.

The missing piece is in here. Grab it and take it to the broken pillar, where you can place the piece on top.

Next, climb the almost-repaired tower and perform a Force Palm on the piece to lock it in place. It is important to jump before performing the Force Palm so that the force is directed downward.

-> Blueprint II: Kuku Lightning Spear

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.
