Walkthrough
- 1The Witch of Strength Quest: This quest is required to cleanse the Sanctum of Expiation. To start it, give coin to a boy in Tashkalp. Without this quest, the sanctum cannot be purified.
- 2Liberate the Sanctum: Defeat all enemies within the Sanctum of Expiation and its surrounding area until they retreat. Tip: Use Nature's Snare with the Nature's Retribution upgrade to deflect projectiles from flying mages, staggering them.
- 3Assemble Generator Parts:
- After a cutscene, jump down and use Blinding Flash to burn through vines blocking a doorway. Inside, find the first puzzle piece and use Axiom Force to slot it into the generator's square socket.
- 4Head north and enter a fort. In a room with a stone gate, find the second puzzle piece. Use Axiom Force to grab it and store it in your Kuku Pot. Tip: Kuku Pots can be crafted by completing the Mysterious Pot quest.
- 5Return to the generator. Open your Kuku Pot, retrieve the second puzzle piece, and align it with the pillar on the right. Climb the pillar and use Force Palm to slot the piece into the generator.
