Aniimo Sanctums, ruin by ruin
Updated 18 September 2026Find them on the map
A Sanctum is a sealed ruin of the Ancient Idyll civilisation, and each of the 18 in the world is one puzzle built around one Aniimo's ability: Bolty powers a dead circuit, Fenrier freezes a path across the water, Celestis climbs the patterned bricks. Here is every Sanctum with the Aniimo it calls for, the mechanisms waiting inside, and what clearing it pays, straight from the game, demo clips included.
