11Overview22334455Core of Mortification is a material related to the Abyss system in Crimson Desert. The structural core of the power device of the Sanctum of Mortification. This vital component can only be salvaged once the fusion reactor sensors lock onto a specific resonance. It serves as the essential bedrock for stabilizing and channeling the sanctum's volatile energy reserves.6677Properties8899PropertyValueTypeAbyss MaterialPrice1 Silver1010How to Obtain11111212This item can be obtained through various activities in the world.13131414Notes15151616Materials are used in various crafting and refinement recipes.17171818See Also19192020Materials - All materials in Crimson DesertCrafting - Crafting system overviewEquipment - Equipment overview21212222Obtaining the Core of Mortification23232424The Core of Mortification is awarded for cleansing a specific sanctum during Chapter 9 of the main story. Because it is tied to a main-story beat rather than a repeatable activity, this is a one-per-character drop. Missing the cleanse in Chapter 9 means you cannot pick the core up again later.25252626Crafting Use27272828The core is a required crafting material for the Kuku Gardening Pack. Because the pack is one of the most useful quality-of-life items in the game for gathering, hang onto the core the moment it drops rather than selling or dumping it. Pair it with a Kuku Pup, a Peddler's Pack, five Abyss Cells, and an Ore of Recepissance to complete the craft at the Kiln Den Workshop.
