Ancient Fire Sanctuary is a multi-level ruin in Windrose built around four Firebowl Braziers. The sanctuary is dark, easy to fall through, and packed with environmental friction: loose floors, thorn-blocked rooms, ladders built into the walls, and a small pressure-plate puzzle. Lighting all four braziers opens access to a hidden reward chest.

Why Players Visit It
The main reason to clear the sanctuary is its hidden chest reward. Once all four Firebowl braziers are repaired and lit, the final chest on the lower floor grants 5 Tumbaga Ingots, one of the most useful upgrade materials in the current build.
The sanctuary also hosts one of the Old Skeleton chest spawns in the Pirate Chest Loot Pool, so a cleared run can also roll a Rare-tier weapon from that shared rotation in addition to the puzzle reward.
General Tips
Bring Floor-Standing Torches or another light source. The upper levels are extremely dark.
Watch for loose floor sections on the top and middle levels. Stepping on them can drop you to a lower floor.
Check the walls for built-in ladders when you need to climb back out of the lower level.
A Pickaxe can be used to knock down a pillar and create an extra ramp back up.
The four braziers do not have to be lit in order. Map all four bowl locations first, then light them in whatever sequence is fastest for your route.
All Firebowl Locations
Firebowl | Location | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
1 | Top floor, outside, in a small room on the right side of the main locked door | Cut away the thorns and reveal the bowl |
2 | Top floor, main door pressure-plate room | Place two nearby vases on the pressure plates to open the door |
3 | Behind the pressure-plate door, then left through the vine-covered doorway and down the hole | Drop to the lower floor and light the bowl directly ahead |
4 | Lower level, beside a brazier that already has the bowl in place | Interact with it directly and light it |
Pressure Plate Side Reward
The top floor vase puzzle also has an optional side reward. A third vase can be placed on another pressure plate on the right side of the top floor to open a side room containing an Ancient Chest. This is separate from the main brazier reward, so it is worth clearing on the same visit.
Reward Chest
After all four Firebowl braziers are repaired and lit, the hidden chest becomes accessible beside the four braziers on the bottom floor. Its documented reward is 5 Tumbaga Ingots. Because the chest is tied to the puzzle rather than to a respawn timer, plan to clear the full brazier route in a single trip.
