Overview
The Sanctum of Absolution is one of six Sanctums scattered across the continent of Pywel in Crimson Desert. Like all Sanctums, it is described as a place imbued with spiritual power, reportedly created by someone in the ancient past to restore the world and its providence. The Antumbra revere Sanctums as sacred ground due to the immense power they contain.
The Sanctum of Absolution is associated with the Second Edict, which declares: "Believe that only by accepting Death within the embrace of the Guide may irreverence be cleansed."
Access
Sanctums become accessible after White Crow the Witch is unlocked as an NPC merchant during Chapter 5 of the main story. Once unlocked, she assigns a quest to cleanse all six Sanctums throughout the world. Players can set waypoints to any Sanctum through their quest journal.
Cleansing the Sanctum
Each Sanctum presents a unique environmental puzzle that must be solved to restore its power. The general pattern involves defeating enemies at the site, locating missing power cells or structural components, and using Axiom Force and Force Palm abilities to reassemble and reactivate the structure. Specific puzzle details for the Sanctum of Absolution follow the same framework used across all Sanctums, though each features its own variation.
Rewards
Cleansing a Sanctum rewards Abyss Artifacts, which are used for upgrading skills, increasing character attributes, and enhancing equipment. Completing all six Sanctums fulfills the Witch's cleansing quest.
