Timeline and endgame progression
Reduce Timeline Corruption at a Sanctuary of Eterra
A Sanctuary of Eterra lets you reduce Corruption when a Timeline has become too difficult for the intended farm.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Reduce Timeline Corruption at a Sanctuary of Eterra
Sanctuary of Eterra Echo near the starting area of a Timeline’s Echo Web.
Before you go
- Have access to the Timeline whose Corruption you want to reduce.
- Locate the Sanctuary of Eterra Echo on its web.
- Be able to complete the Sanctuary objective.
Farming steps
- Open the Timeline Echo Web and identify the Sanctuary of Eterra node near the start.
- Travel to that Echo and complete its objective.
- At the Sanctuary, review the available Corruption reduction choices.
- Select the amount that returns the Timeline to a manageable difficulty.
- Confirm the Corruption value shown for that Timeline.
- Run a fresh Echo or boss route and assess whether the new difficulty is appropriate.
- Repeat a cleanse only if another reduction is still needed.
- Use the Sanctuary as a control for difficulty, not as a way to gain Corruption; Shades are the Corruption-raising action.
- Patch 1.5 addressed repeated-cleanse behavior, so verify that the displayed effects reflect each cleanse.
Repeat, collect and use
Limited by the Sanctuary’s available cleanse choices in that web; it is not an unlimited resource farm. A new web may provide another Sanctuary opportunity.
Common mistakes
- Expecting the Sanctuary to raise Corruption: use Shades for gains and the Sanctuary for reduction.
- Choosing a larger reduction than needed: select the option that preserves useful farming difficulty.
- Assuming the first cleanse permanently prevents later choices: inspect the current Sanctuary interface.
When to stop or switch
Stop cleansing when the Timeline is again comfortable for your target farm; switch back to boss or Echo progression.
