* It is possible to cheese the area level of Sanctum room encounters by completing Sanctum encounters in 31x T8 maps, then a T16 map for the Lycia fight. This will cause the first 31 rooms to have an area level of 75 (the minimum required to drop/obtain Sanctified Relics), while Lycia's room will be 80 (the minimum required to encounter the [[Herald of the Scourge]] form). The last room of the fight must not be stored as the sanctum opens the rooms in reverse order.
