The Sanctuary is a tranquil area of the Shadow Lairs, that is entered from the Unknown Passage. It has been called "a calm in the storm" and "a fleeting dream, beyond the grasp of The Swarm". There are three points of interest: a Shadow Material, the Sanctuary Alchemy Machine, and an Echo Stone.
Shadow Material
Upon entering the Sanctuary, one immediately has the opportunity to pick up a 5-star Shadow Material, based on the Shadow Lair just completed:
- Nightmare Mane after the Rabid Snarbolax Shadow Lair
- Celestial Ore after the Ice Queen Shadow Lair
- Gremlonium after the Red Roarmulus Twins Shadow Lair
- Maiden's Tear after the Darkfire Vanaduke Shadow Lair
Alchemy Machine
The Sanctuary Alchemy Machine is an alchemy station, akin to the Krogmo Alchemy Machine. It allows you to craft preset armor pieces, which can be made only at the machine. Crafting via the machine requires the materials and precursor for each item, in addition to the usual 5,000 crowns and 3 Eternal Orb of Alchemy.

Echo Stone
The final point of interest in the Sanctuary is an orb of light that explains some of the backstory of the Shadow Lairs and the Swarm. The backstory presented depends on which Shadow Lair was completed. An echo stone contains a permanent record of this backstory. The player must interact with the orb to obtain the echo stone, which can be listened to at any time via the Artifact tab of the player's arsenal.
WITHIN MY DREAM I SAW IT OPEN THE VOID, FELT ITS ENDLESS HUNGER.
YOU ARE SAFE HERE, KNIGHT.
WITHIN THIS DREAM, ITS MANY EYES CANNOT SEE YOU NOR CAN ITS MANY ARMS REACH YOU.
BUT THIS DREAM IS FLEETING. USE WHAT IS HERE TO PREPARE FOR THE BATTLE TO COME.
IT KNOWS OF YOU NOW. IT WILL FIND A WAY OUT AND COME FOR YOU.
WITHIN MY DREAM I SEE YOUR LEGION FALLING TO THIS WORLD LIKE BURNING STARS.
YOU FALL WITH PURPOSE, BURNING EVER BRIGHTER AS YOU REACH FOR THE HEART OF THIS WORLD.
HOLD DEARLY THIS FIRE IN YOU, FOR DARKNESS WILL CONSUME ALL THE NIGHT IF ITS STARS BEGIN TO FADE.
VULNERABLE IN SLUMBER, WORLDS WERE DRAWN TO SHIELD ME FROM THE DARKNESS.
THIS WORLD HAS BECOME MY PRISON.
IN HIS MADNESS, THE ARCHITECT BETRAYED THE PACT. TWISTING HIS CREATION INTO A GAME OF DEATH, IT NOW DEVOURS ALL WHO ENTER ITS IRON EMBRACE.
IT DEVOURED THE KNOWLEDGE OF TIME... MEMORIES OF THE DEAD... THE HEARTS OF KINGS AND THE SOULS OF THEIR PEOPLE... GOOD AND EVIL... IT CONSUMED.
IT GREW STRONGER, ENDLESSLY MIRRORING ITSELF WITHIN THE SPACE OF MY DREAM. ENDLESSLY MIRRORING... EXPANDING... INFINITE.
WHAT IT WAS BEFORE IT IS NO MORE. NEITHER BEAST NOR GOD, IT IS A CREATION UNLIKE ALL.
IT IS... THE SWARM.
