Ten Sanctuaries exist across the world. Each acts as a main story region: a scripted dungeon with exploration, environmental puzzles, enemy encounters, and a boss fight. Restoring a Sanctuary stabilises the local region, advances the narrative, and unlocks a gameplay mechanic.
The Unchained control each Sanctuary, using it to drain Living Line energy into the Resonator. Each boss is an Unchained administrator paired with a Faeral augmented by their drug.
