You need to have the right character from the story to finish this task. Walk to the bottom of the Tower to start. Use your sword to burn away the Vines blocking your path. This reveals a hidden area with an Abyss Structure.

Use your Axiom Pull on it and press the button to put it inside your Pot. This Crimson Desert Guide helps you navigate the Story Sanctum efficiently.

Gathering the Necessary Components

Go around the corner to the next door to find a floating square object. This is the Power Cube. You can drag it along or just keep it in your pocket in Crimson Desert.

There are many tough enemies in this area that can be hard to beat. If you want to save time, try to avoid the fight and focus on the items. Having both the Abyss Structure and the Power Cube is the only way to finish the Sanctum of Mortification Guide.

Activating the Shrine

Go to the pillar and take the Abyss Structure out of your Pot. Put it on the pillar. The game helps you line it up, so you do not have to be perfect.

Once it's set, leap up and land on top. Use your Force Punch while coming down to lock the piece in. This Force Punch Mechanic is vital for the build. Next, take the Power Cube to the side of the structure where you see a hole. Slide the cube inside.

Use another Force Punch to set it permanently. This action restores the shrine and completes the Sanctum Puzzle. Now you can get back to your journey through the main story in Crimson Desert.
