Overview
Core of Benediction is a material related to the Abyss system in Crimson Desert. The structural core of the power device of the Sanctum of Benediction. This vital component can only be salvaged once the fusion reactor sensors lock onto a specific resonance. It is the essential bedrock for stabilizing and channeling the sanctum's volatile energy reserves.

How to Obtain
The Core of Benediction is obtained by completing the Sanctum of Benediction puzzle. The Sanctum is located on the left side of the map, below the letters H and E of Hernand on the world map, up in the snowy mountain area.
Step 1: Clear the Sanctum Enemies
Ride your horse to the Sanctum location. As you approach, you will see ruins and rubble scattered around the area. At the top, enemies guard the Sanctum as they do in all Sanctums across Pywel. Defeat enough enemies to trigger the cleansing cutscene; the documented route does not require treating every enemy in every sanctum as an identical wave rule. The older difficulty and last-enemy observations are not universal requirements.
Step 2: Collect the First Puzzle Block
After the cutscene, you spawn leaning against a wall near a kiln. From the kiln, run down the steps in the center and take the first right into a small room. Next to the golden well in the corner, you will find a large block. Pick it up (either store it in your Kuku Iron Pot or carry it manually) and bring it back up to the kiln. Slot it into the side of the kiln and hit it with a Force Palm to lock it in place.
Step 3: Collect the Second Puzzle Block
Turn around from the kiln and loop all the way around the large structure. Go through the archway and you will see a suspicious doorway with a solid wall blocking it. Light the lantern on the side of the wall to open the passage. Inside you will find a chest and the second puzzle piece. Open the chest first, as it contains a piece of armor with a strong Abyss Cell modifier for extra Turning Slash damage (a highly recommended piece of gear). Then pick up the puzzle block and carry it back outside to the kiln.
Step 4: Fix the Tower
With the second block in hand, you need to fix the tower on the corner pillar near the kiln. Place the tower piece on the pillar in the back left corner. Line it up carefully; when green leaves start appearing around it, that means it is properly aligned. Lock it in place with a Force Palm. You can climb the pillar and do a jumping Aerial Force Palm from above, or simply use a Force Palm from the ground combined with a grapple hook.
Step 5: The Kiln Minigame
Once the tower is restored, the entire kiln powers up and the Sanctum is restored. A cutscene plays with the Witch of this area. After cleansing, solve the optional dial with Blinding Flash. Flash light on the crystal-like stones around the dial and avoid the gaps, which reset the rotation. Complete a full rotation to release the Core. The older platform-specific button/tap/hold directions are not independently established by this walkthrough; use the current controls shown for your platform.
Step 6: Collect the Core
When the minigame is finished, the kiln activates fully and produces the Core of Benediction at the top. Use your grapple hook to grab it and press Triangle to store it in your Kuku Iron Pot. The Core of Benediction is now yours.
Notes
Materials are used in various crafting and refinement recipes.
Prerequisite and Core reward
The documented purification route first requires meeting Elowen through The Witch of Wisdom. Clearing enemies and assembling the generator cleanses the sanctum; the optional Blinding Flash dial then releases Core of Benediction x1. Use Axiom Force to seal it. The recorded location is southwest Everfrost, reachable from the path south of Everfrost near the Nas River. The older armor modifier, precise button inputs and 1 Silver price are not independently validated by this sequence.
