Sanctum of Benediction Puzzle Solution

Learn how to solve the Sanctum of Benediction puzzle in Crimson Desert. This guide covers clearing enemies, assembling the generator, and activating the dial for rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    If you arrive at the Sanctum of Benediction early, you will see a message stating that it cannot be purified yet. To unlock access, you must first meet Elowen, the Witch, at her house in the Witchwoods and accept the 'Witch of Wisdom' quest.
  2. 2
    After obtaining the quest from Elowen, begin the purification process by clearing the Sanctum of all enemies. Defeat enough enemies to trigger a cutscene, which will disable them within the sanctum.
  3. 3
    Locate the first puzzle piece in the room downstairs from the generator. Use Axiom Force to place it into the square socket on the generator.
  4. 4
    The second puzzle piece is hidden within the tower adjacent to the generator. To access this tower, interact with the lantern situated outside, next to a suspicious wall. This will reveal a hidden room containing a treasure chest with the final puzzle piece.
  5. 5
    Move the final puzzle piece to the pillar with the missing top, located beside the generator. Once in position, stand on top of the piece and perform an Aerial Force Palm to slot it into the pillar.
  6. 6
    After cleansing the Sanctum, an optional dial puzzle will appear before the mechanism. Use the Blinding Flash ability to solve it by directing light onto the crystal-like stones around the dial's outer rim. Avoid flashing the gaps between stones, as this will reset the puzzle.
  7. 7
    Successfully completing a full rotation of the dial will cause the mechanism to release the Core of Benediction. Use Axiom Force to seal it, adding it to your inventory.
Tips
  • During Step 2, you can use Nature's Snare with the Nature's Retribution upgrade to deflect projectiles back at flying mages, staggering them.
  • The 'Witch of Wisdom' quest is a prerequisite for completing the Sanctum of Benediction and other Sanctums.
