Enhanced with detailed puzzle steps, rewards (Kuku Lightning Spear and Kuku Bird Boltspitter blueprints), and tips
The Sanctum of Temperance 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 in the ancient past to restore the world and its providence. The Antumbra revere Sanctums as sacred ground because of the immense power they hold.
The Sanctum of Temperance is often the first Sanctum that players encounter during their journey. It is located southeast of the City of Hernand, just beyond the Goldleaf Merchant settlement.
The Sanctum of Temperance is associated with the Third Edict, which declares: "Restrain all things to reach the Void through eternal silence. Yield not to even the strongest temptation."
The Sanctum of Temperance is located southeast of the City of Hernand, beyond the Goldleaf Tradepost area. The ruins are set on open terrain with several connected buildings and a central structure that houses the Sanctum's generator.
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.
A horde of Antumbra worshippers occupies the area when you first arrive. Defeat all of them before you can begin working on the puzzle. The enemies are standard foot soldiers and can be cleared quickly with area-of-effect skills.
The Sanctum of Temperance puzzle involves restoring power to the structure by finding missing components and reassembling them.
Clear all Antumbra worshippers from the Sanctum grounds. The puzzle components will not become interactive until the area is fully liberated.
The power source for this Sanctum is found underneath the structure. Jump through a hole in the ground to reach the space below, then use Axiom Force to grab the power cube and carry it back up to the surface.
Look at the square holes around the Sanctum's base. One of them is missing its cell. Place the power cube in front of the empty slot, then use Force Palm to punch it into position.
Inspect the pillars surrounding the Sanctum. One of them is missing its top section. The missing piece is located inside a nearby building to the right of the Sanctum, but the building is covered in thick vines that block access.
To clear the vines blocking the pillar piece, shoot a fire arrow at them or use the Blinding Flash ability to focus sunlight and burn them away. Once the vines are cleared, grab the pillar top with Axiom Force.
Carry the pillar top back to the broken pillar and place it on the support structure. With the pillar restored and the power cube installed, the Sanctum of Temperance is cleansed.
Cleansing the Sanctum of Temperance rewards the Kuku Lightning Spear and Kuku Bird Boltspitter blueprints. These crafting blueprints allow players to create powerful Kuku-infused weapons at a blacksmith. Completing all six Sanctums fulfills the Witch's cleansing quest.
After cleansing, White Crow the Witch appears and shares lore about the Third Edict and the Antumbra's philosophy of temperance through eternal silence.
