Core 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 is the essential bedrock for stabilizing and channeling the sanctum's volatile energy reserves.

The Sanctum of Mortification is accessed during the Chapter 9 main story quest Fragments of Darkness in the Wiggling Hills of Demeniss. The Core is the reward for its optional light puzzle after cleansing, rather than cleansing alone. The older one-per-character and permanently-missed claims are not established by that sequence; do not assume that leaving the area makes the Core unavailable forever.
At Kilnden Workshop, the recorded Kuku Gardening Pack recipe uses 1 Kuku Pack, 1 Power Core - Ore of Resipiscence, 3 Abyss Cell and 1 Core of Mortification after learning the Kuku Pack Special Blueprint. The older Kuku Pup/Peddler's Pack/five-cell wording does not match that finite ingredient list. The pack supports gathering nearby mushroom, herb, fruit and vegetable items, making this Core useful to retain for that recipe.
The Core of Mortification is the reward for the optional dial puzzle at the Sanctum of Mortification. After the sanctum is cleansed, use the Blinding Flash skill to complete the dial puzzle. Once the puzzle succeeds, Kliff must climb or grapple up to reach the released Core and store it in the Kuku Pot.
The core is one of the components required to craft the Kuku Plant Gatherer's Pack at the Kilnden Workshop. Other ingredients in the same recipe include a Kuku Pack, a Power Core: Ore of Resipiscence, and three Abyss Cells.
