Fortunately, this puzzle is much simpler than more complex ones like the Toward the Nest or Arboria Castle puzzles, which often require significant time and external assistance. With the following instructions, you’ll complete this task quickly.
Crimson Desert: Sanctum of Benediction Puzzle Solution
The steps are straightforward. Begin by defeating all enemies surrounding the Sanctum of Benediction to secure the area. Should you accidentally misplace a puzzle part, it can typically be retrieved from the supply chest at the Howling Hill camp.
Here’s how to complete the puzzle:
- From the large, pot-shaped central device, descend the stairs and proceed right into a small, dimly lit room.
- Employ your Axiom Force ability to retrieve the battery cube found within this room and bring it back upstairs.
- Insert the battery cube into its designated empty, cube-shaped slot, then use Force Palm to firmly secure it.
- Navigate to the opposite side of the main building, where a window is located, to discover a sealed entrance. Interact with the lamp to its right to illuminate it and open the door.
- Utilize Axiom Force to carefully extract the floating core from inside. If you encounter difficulty guiding it through the doorway, grasp the top of its orb, as its width prevents it from passing through sideways. Alternatively, if you possess the Kuku Pot from the Chapter 4 kiln repair quest, you could seal the core within it and release it near the central device.
- Using Axiom Force, position the core atop the back-left pillar, which is currently missing its component. Precise alignment isn’t critical; simply ensure it remains in place once released.
- Ascend to the top of this pillar and execute a downward Force Palm to lock the core into its final position.
Upon successful completion, the device will power on, signifying that you have successfully cleansed the Sanctum of Benediction.
