Sanctum

This article is a stub. You can help Don't Starve Wiki by expanding it.

Exclusive to:

The Sanctum is a Biome that is a part of the Ancient Archive but is only accessible through the Giant Whirlpool. Players cannot use any kind of teleportation to get inside the Sanctum, but they can teleport out. Like in the Ancient Archive, Earthquakes and Acid Rain will have no effect. Ghost Characters won't be able fly in to or out of biome.

All rooms in the Sanctum (except the lobby) will replace each other when you use Sanctum Waymark. Keep in mind, that Sanctum Waymark will only work if it's used by all players that are in the Sanctum and not in the lobby. When you replace one room by other, the room will save all structures, items and other objects that you left there (except items that exist in the world only once, like the Ancient Key; these objects will teleport to the player). You can't enter the Sanctum's room from the lobby when there is at least 1 player in any Sanctum room (except the lobby).

The Sanctum will reset at the same time as the Ruins. All the structures built and items left inside Sanctum will disappear, and Ancient Masks and A Task Complete playbill will respawn.
