Full Ancient Sanctuary Walkthrough

Entrance

Head to the Ancient Sanctuary, you will find the EntranceExpedition Flag. Nearby, you can find an enemy that seems to be running away from you as you approach it. Once you catch up to it, by going through the wooden plank on the left side, you will be facing a special enemy, Petank. Petank is a boss with five initial shields, which will need five attacks to be broken. For more information on Petank, you may visit this page.

After defeating Petank, you will be able to receive a chance to obtain items such as x5 Polished Chroma Catalysts, x5 Colours of Lumina, and a Recoat. Nearby, you can find the Energising Jump Pictos across a wood plank bridge. Next, follow the stream, going left past the slope, to some wall climbing down. Go down to get the Burning Mark Pictos. After looting the area, follow the cliffside path on the right, and you will find a Young Boy that you can interact with.

Once you are done talking to the Young Boy, keep following the path until you find an area filled with dead Nevrons. An alarm with sound, and you will have to fight a Gestral, a Robust Sakapatate, which is weak to Fire. Defeat it, and it will crash into your party, dealing damage. The Sakapatate's pilot is then revealed to be Karatom, and you will receive the Sakaram weapon for Gustave.

Sanctuary Maze

Finish the cutscene, then follow Karatom. Along the path, you will be able to find the Sanctuary Maze Expedition Flag — use it to save your progress or upgrade attributes of your party members.

Follow the nearby path until it forks, then head to the right to explore. Go through the crouch hole, then explore the area on the right side. You can find x965 Expedition 33 Wiki at a short path on the right side, and a Ranger Sakapatate roaming around the area. Defeat it and the Catapult Sakapatate fighting alongside it, and you will receive the Trebuchim weapon for Lune.

Behind where you encountered the Ranger Sakapatate, on the left, there is a wall you can climb. Go up, and follow along to the Engergising Start II Pictos. Go back to where you encountered the Ranger Sakapatate, and on the right you will find an entrance to a cavern. Go through it, and you will fight a Catapult Sakapatate beside a loot beam. Defeat it, then pick up the Attack Lifesteal Pictos. Then, head up the rope on the path on the right side to obtain a Colour of Lumina by a ledge that leads back to the area where you fought Petank.

Then, go back to the crouch hole and explore the area on the left to find a field full of luminescent plants. On the left side, you can find a Colour of Lumina at a ledge. Head to the center to find a wooden structure containing a Revive Tint Shard.

Exit the structure, and you will find a Mime behind which you can defeat to obtain the Baguette Outfit and Haircut for Lune. Head back to the fork in the path, then go to the left to fight a Ranger Sakapatate. Then, keep following the path to find a Catapult Sakapatate patrolling the area. Once you defeat it, you can explore the area on the right to find x483 Expedition 33 Wiki by the stacked boxes.

Return to the main path, and you will find totems with translucent materials around them — proceed to the path on the left of the totem to find a brick path with more forking paths and a grapple spot nearby. Follow the path on the left, then make a right to find a Healing Tint Shard.

Then, go through the path nearby to find a Robust Sakapatate with a Catapult Sakapatate fighting alongside it. Once you defeat it, follow the path on the left to find Journal - Expedition 63 with a All Paint Cage Locations on the right side. To open the Paint Cage, you can find two locks nearby in the same area. The first lock would be tucked in a pocket area behind two trees, with the other one just on the left side of it.

Exit the area, then head to the path on the left covered by vegetation, between two inactive Sakapatates. Climb down the rope, then jump up the structures and platforms to make your way to the All Paint Cage Locations. The third lock will be found behind crates on the right side, below the ledge. Shoot the lock, then pick up the Chroma Elixir Shard from the Paint Cage.

Giant Bell Alley

Return to the area with the Sakapatate figures, then go through the path with blue lanterns to find the Giant Bell Alley Expedition Flag. Rest up, then follow the path ahead to find the Giant Bell — a cutscene will play out with Expedition 33 marked as intruders, and the Gestrals will send out the Ultimate Sakapatate boss to fight you.

The Ultimate Sakapatate wields a greatshield that you can destroy during combat, with it being weak to Fire. For more information about the Ultimate Sakapatate, you may visit this page. Defeat it to receive the Breaker Pictos, along with random items such as x3 Polished Chroma Catalyst.

Explore the area on the left side before progressing through the sanctuary to find a Colour of Lumina beside barrels, then explore the right side ledge for an Energy Tint Shard, behind which is a crawlspace. Go to where the circle of inactive gestrals stand around a Stun Boost Pictos, then go through back to the main path under the bell to exit to The Continent.

All Paint Spike Locations in Ancient Sanctuary

Paint Spike 1

Once you reach the Sanctuary Maze Expedition Flag, follow the main path until it forks into two directions. Go through the path on the left, and you will find an open area with a Ranger Sakapatate patrolling it. Defeat the Sakapatate, then head to the left corner of the area to find a Paint Spike. Destroy it to reveal a secret path.

Grapple to the other side, then head through the opening to find the Gestral Totem Expedition Flag. Head to the path on the left to find a Resplendent Chroma Catalyst near the cliff. Head back to the flag, then go to the path with enemies patrolling the area.

Defeat the Ranger Sakapatate patrolling the area, then head up the ramp on the right side of the giant totem to find a Robust Sakapatate. Explore the area around the totem to encounter more enemies, such as a Catapult Sakapatate.

Once the area has been cleared of enemies, head through the narrow path behind the totem. Follow the path on the right to find the Piercing Shot Pictos along the body of water nearby. Then, head back to the base of the totem to find a Colour of Lumina.

Then, you may head up the ledge with another Ranger Sakapatate and a Robust Sakapatate walking around, by returning to where you dropped to get the Piercing Shot Pictos, but this time, you will go up the ramp. Then, jump across the platforms to get to the Sakapatate's location. Defeat it, then loot the x6,570 Chroma on the right side.
