The Crimson Desert Sanctum of Benediction is one of the locations you must visit for The Witch of Wisdom side quest. To complete this objective, you must solve a puzzle.
Let’s see what you need to do to cleanse the Sanctum of Benediction!
Crimson Desert Sanctum of Benediction Puzzle Solution
The Sanctum of Benediction is west of Hernand City. Before heading there, make sure to get consumables and gear that offer ice resistance.
You must complete two objectives in this area:
- Liberate the Sanctum – defeat all the enemies.
- Cleanse the Sanctum – solve the puzzle.
How to Liberate the Sanctum
This part requires you to defeat Antumbra enemies until the progress bar reaches 0. The area is heavily guarded, so be careful with your pulls. Engage one group at a time and defeat them all before going to the next group. The flying enemies can be quite annoying, but there’s an easy way to deal with them. Shoot them with arrows to bring them down. The final enemy is a mini-boss, so make sure you start the encounter with full HP.
How to Complete the Crimson Desert Sanctum of Benediction Puzzle
To solve the puzzle, you must collect two Fusion Reactor Cores and insert them into the puzzle mechanism. To get the first core, go down the stairs on the right side of the main mechanism and turn right to enter a small chamber. The giant floating cube is the reactor core. Grab it with Axiom Force and seal it in the Kuku pot.
Exit the chamber and turn right. Use Force Palm to climb the wall and reach the upper level. The location of the second core is blocked by a stone door. Activate the lantern on the right side of the door to open it.
Enter and grab the giant sphere with Axiom Force. Seal the core in the pot. Don’t forget to search this room and collect the Helm of the Fallen Kingdom from the chest.
Once you have collected both Fusion Reactor Cores, return to the puzzle mechanism. Open the inventory, access the Kuku pot, and discard the square core. Insert it into the square slot and use Force Palm to fix it in place.
Discard the spherical core from the Kuku pot and place it onto the pillar on the left. Use Force Palm to get on top of the core and smash it into place with Force Palm.
The reward for completing the Crimson Desert Sanctum of Benediction Puzzle includes the Kuku Marni Laser Helm blueprint.
