POR Sanctuary

Sanctuary is one of Charlotte Aulin's magical skills in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. It is an advanced spell that cures status abnormalities for all within range.

Description[]

The Sanctuary spell takes a long time to charge up, so it is advised to have Jonathan protect Charlotte in battle so that she isn't interrupted before she can cast it. Once the spell is in effect, it releases a wave of Holy light from the ground to about mid-screen. Anything caught within this light is healed of any ailments, including Poison or Curse effects, although the time it takes to cast makes it impractical for regular use. Lastly, the spell can be used to destroy Red Skeletons and Red Axe Armors sooner in the game, as opposed to the Undead Killer whip, which can only be obtained after completing the "S Rank Hunter" quest.

Most importantly, Sanctuary is used to cure Loretta, Stella and Vincent of their vampirism, effectively making it mandatory to obtain the spell if the player aims to reach the game's true ending. Therefore, Jonathan must buy Charlotte time during the Loretta and Stella boss fight until the spell is activated. Without it, the player would be forced to kill Loretta and Stella, therefore, causing the Bad Ending to take place.

Availability[]

The Sanctuary spell is found in the Sandy Grave, in the room with giant boulders rolling down a slope. Charlotte must have already learned the Toad Morph spell in order to reach it, as it is found at the end of a narrow crawlspace. Obtaining it will also trigger an additional conversation with Wind at the Entrance.
