"Forbidden Sanctum"/"Sanctum" redirects here. For the expansion, see The Forbidden Sanctum (expansion). For the league, see Sanctum league.
The Forbidden Sanctum is an area found in the Sanctum league. Players must explore a randomized dungeon, collecting Aureus coins and trying to reach the end before their Resolve runs out.
A Sanctum run contains 4 floors, each containing 8 rooms. The 8th room of each floor always contains a Boss. Players can choose to engage in a room every time they encounter the portal to the Sanctum in an area or map, or defer up to 8 rooms (1 floor) to be run consecutively at a later time.[1][2] Crashing during a Sanctum room will reset progress for that room and will resume the same area on your next map. Aureus and rewards are only locked in upon successful completion of a room[2]. Each Sanctum run is independent between characters on the same account.[2]
Mechanics
Resolve
- Resolve is an additional stat player characters have while exploring the Sanctum, somewhat similar to Ruin from Ultimatum league.
- The default maximum Resolve is 300. Resolve is maintained between rooms, and the player is ejected from the Sanctum if it hits 0, resetting all floors and rooms. Being ejected does not count as a death, nor does it remove experience.
- Resolve is lost from hits from monsters or traps in the Sanctum. Closer proximity to monsters may reduce the Resolve lost.[2]
- Regular defences such as evasion rating, damage reduction, and avoidance do not affect the loss of Resolve.
- Minions and non-party allies do not cause Resolve to be lost if hit.
- A fixed amount of Resolve can be restored in Fountain rooms.
- Modifying maximum Resolve during a Sanctum run will also cause the character to gain or lose Resolve proportional at the same ratio.
- Sacrificing Resolve at 1 maximum Resolve will count as a failstate.
- Maximum Resolve is soft capped at 1000; however, it is possible to exceed these values from sources that modify maximum Resolve at the start of a room/floor.
Aureus
- Aureus is a type of non-tradeable currency similar to Azurite which can be found in the Sanctum. Aureus is collected automatically when the player is near it.
- Aureus can be traded to the merchant for various Boons or Templar Relics and Sanctified Relics.
- Aureus is maintained between rooms and floors, and is reset when the Sanctum run ends.
- Aureus drops from Templar Stash chests, as well as from Guards and Bosses when killed
Inspiration
- Inspiration acts as a buffer over your maximum Resolve, somewhat similar to Energy Shield in comparison to life.
- Inspiration cannot be recovered like Resolve.
- Inspiration is soft capped at 1000; however, it is possible to exceed these values from sources that modify Inspiration at the start of a room/floor.
Boon
- Boons grant various benefits to your Sanctum run and can help recover or mitigate damage to your Resolve, increase your Aureus and rewards, debuff monsters, grant Inspiration, or provide other helpful buffs.
Affliction
- Afflictions grant various downsides to your Sanctum run and can reduce or prevent Resolve recovery, spawn additional traps, buff monsters, affect your Aureus generation, or hide rooms or rewards on the Sanctum Map.
Room Layouts
Each room other than the miniboss room contains several Guard unique monsters, as well as one of three tasks to complete the room:
- Find the Exit (locate the exit door)
- Defeat all the Guards (defeat every Unique Guard)
- Defeat the Boss (minibosses based on map bosses)
| Room Goal | Defeat all the Guards | Defeat all the Guards (Skull Arena) |
Find the Exit | Find the Exit (Traps) |
Defeat the Boss (Miniboss) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Floor 1: Sanctum Archives |
Chambers of Inscription | Templar Annals 1 central Skull, walls |
Abandoned Library Ice Trap |

Scriptorium Crimson Archbishop |
| Floor 2: Sanctum Vaults |

Note: most "Find the Exit" rooms have shortcuts that require movement skills.
Room Reward Types
Note: All room types other than boss rooms can become Afflicted. Afflicted rooms are indicated by a purple border and cause the character to gain an Affliction on entry.
Item Reward Room
When players are offered rewards, they have three options:
- Recieve #x <item1> now
- Recieve #x <item2> at end of the Floor ("at end of the next Floor" if on room 8)
- Recieve #x <item3> on completing the Sanctum
The quantity and/or types of items improve based on the area level of the zone and how long you defer the reward, at the cost of risking the reward entirely if the player fails the run. Item chests have a 5 Aureus fee.
Treasure Reward Room
Contains chests of Aureus; comes in 2 types: Minor Treasure Reward (2 chests) or Major Treasure Reward (5 chests).
Fountain
Fountain rooms contain an interactable Fountain which grants Recover 25% of Maximum Resolve for a 5 Aureus fee.
Benevolent Fountain
Benevolent Fountain rooms contain an interactable Benevolent Fountain which grants Gain a Random Boon and grants a random Boon on you for a 150 Aureus fee.
Afflicted Fountain
Afflicted Fountain rooms contain an interactable Afflicted Fountain which grants Recover 50% of Maximum Resolve, but also inflicts a random Affliction on you, for a 5 Aureus fee.
Radiant Fountain
Radiant Fountain rooms contain an interactable Radiant Fountain which grants a random Boon, removes a random Affliction, and grants 200 Inspiration for a 5 Aureus fee.
Merchant
Merchant rooms contain the NPC Sister Divinia who sells you Boons, Templar relics, or Sanctified Relics in exchange for Aureus. She can also recover 50 Resolve for a pricy 300 Aureus fee. The Merchant is unlocked in Act 2 after completing the quest In Search of the Sanctum.
Accursed Pact
Accursed Pact rooms allow you to accept any of three random Accursed Pacts which grants both an upside and downside, as well as an item chest upon accepting at least 1 Accursed Pact. Accursed Pacts are unlocked in Act 7 after completing the quest Sanctum Temptations.

- Minibosses and bosses drop a large quantity of Aureus and have a chance to drop Templar relics (or Sanctified Relics at area levels >75).
- Killing each miniboss and boss for the first time unlocks several tiles in the Relic Altar.
- Boss rooms contain a chest for any accumulated Item Rewards for the floor, as well as two additional Item Reward chests.
Lycia
- After defeating Lycia's first form, the player can either directly exit to the reward chest via the staircase (and therefore unable to enter The Beyond), or enter The Beyond to challenge her second phase. Dying during the second phase will end the run and prevent looting of the reward chest.
- Lycia's second form is only encounterable in an area of level 80 (T13+ maps); she will only taunt the player after being killed in lower areas.
- Lycia's second form does not interact with Resolve mechanics; however, it is still possible to fail from the Resolve mechanic if the player has an Affliction that removes Resolve on Flask use.
Lycia, Herald of the Scourge in "The Beyond" will always drop a Sanctified Relic, as well as 1 of:

Sanctified Relic
Main page: Sanctified Relic
For relics that only affect the Sanctum, see Relic.
This article describes historical game content.
The Forbidden Sanctum was re-introduced in Version 3.22.0, but sanctified relics were not added to the game.
Sanctified relics are a type of item that is exclusive to the Sanctum league. Sanctified relics are special versions of relics that provide more general modifiers to the character, and have effect even outside of the Forbidden Sanctum.[3] They are marked with an orange glow behind the item's art. They can be placed in the Relic Altar to provide stats to the character directly both inside and outside the Sanctum.
Mechanics
- Sanctified Relics can be found in the Sanctum as rewards from guards, minibosses or bosses, or purchased from Sister Divinia for 600 Aureus in areas of level 75 or higher.
- They can be stored in a special separate stash, which can also be placed as a hideout decoration.
- Sanctified relics are equipped in the inventory separately from the relics in the Relic Altar, and limited to 1. They are not considered an equipped item, similar to
Thief's TrinketThief's TrinketCorrupted
. - Relics are unmodifiable and account-bound, and are always Magic.
- Sanctified Relics can be vendored 5 to 1 to obtain a new one with random modifiers.
- Sanctified Relics can be corrupted by using an invocation, which adds a fixed keystone as a corrupted implicit modifier.
