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:
Alchemy Machine
The Sanctuary Alchemy Machine, generating useful items for the terrors yet to come...
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 just 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 in the player's arsenal.
