Sanctum of Solace Solution

Learn how to cleanse the Sanctum of Solace in Crimson Desert. This guide details finding Bari, restoring generator parts, locating the secret chest, and solving the optional light puzzle.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the Witch of Kindness Quest: Meet Bari the Witch on Crimson Lake in Pailune to initiate the quest. If you don't, Bari will inform you at the Sanctum of Solace that you cannot cleanse it yet.
  2. 2
    Liberate the Sanctum and Defeat Antumbra's Staff: Track the sanctum's location to initiate the Antumbra's Staff boss fight. After defeating the boss and clearing the area of enemies, you will complete the Antumbra's Staff quest (part of the Cloister of Ruination questline) and receive the Guidance of Dark Pursuit weapon.
  3. 3
    Restore the Generator Parts: Head right from the boss arena, across a bridge, to the sanctum's generator. Drop down to the frozen pool below to find the two missing generator parts. One part is in a dark alcove, and the other is caged behind spears in a hole in the wall. Use Axiom Force to grab both parts and seal them in your Kuku Pot.
  4. 4
    Reassemble the Generator: Return to the generator and attach the parts: the cube goes on the side, and the other part goes on top of the pillar. Use Force Palm to push them into their correct positions.
  5. 5
    Find the Secret Room and Treasure Chest: In the Antumbra Staff's boss area, locate a thick wall among the arches to the right of a big withered tree. Climb the wall to an outline of a passage. Press the resist button and use Force Palm to enter a secret chamber.
  6. 6
    Claim the Reward: Inside the secret chamber, open the chest to obtain the Icewing Plate Boots and a Palmar Pill. Exit the same way you entered.
  7. 7
    Solve the Optional Light Puzzle: (Details for this step are cut off in the source text, but it involves timing your Blinding Flash ability.)
