Navigate the Shivering Shore in Salt and Sanctuary. Learn about Creeds, Sanctuaries, item locations like Red Shard and Pouch of Salt, and combat tips for enemies like Rotten Walkers and Drowned Berzerkers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon entering the Sanctuary, you'll be prompted to select an item given by an NPC based on your chosen Creed. Use the Directional buttons to select the item, then approach the center of the room.
  2. 2
    Press R1 to use the Creed item on the altar and claim the Sanctuary for your Creed. This action also earns the "Find Sanctuary" trophy.
  3. 3
    The altar acts as a checkpoint, saves your game, fully restores your health and items, and allows you to restock healing items. It's a frequent stop for restoration and leveling up.
  4. 4
    Head right and exit the Sanctuary. Jump onto the wooden ledge and move left. Open the chest to find Red Shard (3) and a Pouch of Salt.
  5. 5
    Return right and drop down. Continue right, ignoring the locked door. Ascend the stairs, where you will encounter a Rotten Walker and a Rotten Crossbowman. Defeat them.
  6. 6
    A bag on the platform contains another Pouch of Salt.
  7. 7
    Be aware that enemies, including Rotten Walkers, can spawn from the ground. You can attack them as they spawn, but they are temporarily invincible.
  8. 8
    Continue right to a door. Before entering, note that projectiles and spells can pass through thinner platforms. You can also drop through platforms by pressing Down on the Left Analog stick + X.
  9. 9
    A stronger enemy, a Drowned Berzerker, is located slightly up and to the left past the door. It is more aggressive and has more health.
  10. 10
    Open the door and clear the area of Rotten Walkers and Rotten Crossbowmen. One crossbowman is on the second level to the right.

Creeds and Sanctuaries:

  • You can only claim a Sanctuary for your current Creed. For example, if you follow The Three, you cannot use an item for the Goddess of Light to claim a Sanctuary for her.
  • The "Make Offering" option is only available in a Sanctuary that matches your current Creed.
  • "Level Up" and "Tree of Skill" are always accessible regardless of your Creed.
  • Using the altar provides healing items specific to your Creed.
Tips
  • Climbing speed can be slightly increased by pressing the analog stick in the direction of the climb.
  • Ranged enemies like Crossbowmen can shoot through thinner platforms.
  • You can drop through platforms that allow it by pressing Down on the Left Analog stick + X.
  • Melee attacks can sometimes pass through platforms, as can enemy attacks.
  • When facing multiple enemies, try to stay on the ground floor until you are ready to deal with enemies on higher levels.
  • Avoid jumping up and to the left immediately after the door, as a more dangerous Drowned Berzerker is positioned there.
