Sanctum of Temperance solution in Crimson Desert

The Sanctum of Temperance is a puzzle you encounter during the Witch of Wisdom quest in Chapter 5 of Crimson Desert. The quest requires you to restore a broken machine using a Fusion Core and Reactor, which you will have to uncover from ruins.

In this article, we guide you on how to fix the broken machine and how you can find the required items to do so.

Crimson Desert: Sanctum of Temperance solution

The Sanctum of Temperance in Crimson Desert is located in the Pororin Forest, just southeast of Hernand City.

To find the exact spot, you will need to travel past the Goldleaf Tradepost and head south. Along the cliffside, you will easily spot a cave/crevice. Go through it to find the entrance to the Sanctum of Temperance.

Note: The area will be guarded by enemies. Clear out each one to start working on the puzzle.

Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough on how to complete the Sanctum of Temperance:

Step 1: Find the Fusion Core

The Fusion Core looks like a stone block. You can find it at the bottom of the stairs near the entrance to the Sanctum of Temperance. Simply pick it up and store it in your KuKu Pot.

Step 2: Insert the Fusion Core

Go up to the broken machine and slot the Fusion Core into the empty slot. Use Force Palm to insert the Core into the machine.

Step 3: Burn the thorny vines

The Sanctum is packed with thorny vines blocking your paths to its various sections. Use flaming arrows or Blinding Flash to clear out these vines. This will further open up the area for exploration, leading to loot and the next set of objectives.

Step 4: Find the Fusion Reactor

Once you have cleared out the vines in the top area, you will find the Fusion Reactor. Store it in your KuKu Pot and return to the machine.

Step 5: Place the Fusion Reactor atop the tower

One of the four pillars near the broken machine will be missing the top piece. Place the Fusion Reactor on the pillar. Then, climb on top of the Reactor. Use Force Palm (while crouching down) to install the Reactor.

Once that’s done, a short cutscene will play out where the machine will power up, and the Sanctum of Temperance will be cleansed. This will complete the objective in this area.
