Subseven Sanctum

Map description:

The **Subseven Sanctum** is a sanctum located in the 7th Street, accessible after the player finds Bennett buying items for the ritual in the 7th Street.

Battles here take place in the Holy Field.

On the Reshiram Route, the location becomes inaccessible following its anomaly cleanup.

## Walkthrough

Having followed Bennett here from 7th Street, you will be ambushed and detained by New Order Acolytes, who throw you into a cell deep inside the Sanctum. Interact with the green book in your cell and you will be introduced to Randall, who will release you with his Klefki. You must now attempt to locate Luna and escape from the Sanctum.

### Maze Walkthrough

The first area you encounter is a large maze. Unfortunately, the number of cultists about means direct confrontation will be impossible, and the only option is to sneak past all of them. **Getting caught by an acolyte will put you back in your cell!** Luckily, Randall will release you immediately, meaning there is no penalty for being caught beside having to do the maze again.

**It is recommended speedup is turned off for this section!** It makes the rotating acolytes almost impossible to move past.

Turn right, then take the second corridor up.

Turn right, then up. You can enter the large room to your right for lore books, a **Spell Tag,** and **Field Effect Read-Out 29** (Holy Field)

Continue upwards, avoiding the rotator to the left.

Take the first left and wait at the second junction down until the patrolling acolyte has walked towards you and then turned around. Follow them down and hide in the space above the static acolyte.

Wait for the patrolling acolyte to pass back by you (walking upwards), then run to the left and take the second passage down.

Turn left, down, and then left all the way to the end (you should be against the far left wall). Go up, avoiding the rotator, then take the first right.

Stand in the cross junction. When the rotator above you is looking towards you (and is about to turn around), start running towards them. You should just have enough time to run up and take the first left.

Stand just before the junction and wait for the rotator to be looking up and about to turn, then run up and to the right. You're safe as soon as you're right up against the wall.

Exit the maze.

### Ritual Crashing

The objective of the next room is to bypass a gate between you and the ritual room where Luna is being held.

This gate is powered by the four coloured Arceus statues around the room. Interacting with a statue reads out a passage from the Acolyte's holy scripture, and you are prompted to input the verse the passage is from. These passages can be found in the large room off the right of the maze - where the Field read-out was found.

**Green** - The New World too, shalt be Reborn. (**38-27**)

**Blue** - All shall be white before the eyes of the Lord. (**16-05**)

**Red** - Light shall consumeth all within its cleansing fires. (**23-03**)

**Purple** - From the memories of eons past and visions of eons yet to come... (**02-04**)

With all four verses input, the gate should disappear and you can enter the ritual chamber. Make sure your Pokémon are healed, as you will be challenged by Ace on entering. Once they're defeated, watch the cutscene play out, at the end of which you will regain control just outside the Sanctum. The Sanctum will be empty if you re-enter, and you are free to explore it at your leisure should you so choose.

## Places of Interest

### Locked Left Room

The left room of the maze can be unlocked by using the Sanctum Key which is the held item of Klefki from The Klefki Sidequest. The room contains a Dark Matter and the color order for the hidden room in the Beryl Library.

Seven bible entries entries and El's diary are also available for the player to read.

 **When one door closes, another opens. And there shalt come a day as foretold by the prophets of old, and on that day, it shall come to pass: Our world shall end.**
**"Light shall consumeth all within its cleansing fires."**
**-- Arcerus 23-3**
**From its ashes, a new world shall begin. Nascor, Nasci, Natus, the Lord Arceus.**

 So be it the duty of all, human and Pokemon alike:
"Bestow light upon thy brethren; give sight to the blind and life to the lost. Arceus shall grant thee favour in the new world."
-- Arceus 12-3

 "From the darkness, from stardust, from the memories of eons passed and visions of eons yet to come, from these things did the Lord Arceus mold the heavens, the Earth, and all that walk upon it."
-- Arceus 2-4

 Praise the Lord. Worship the Lord. Bequeath thy soul unto the Lord, that he might cleanse thee of thy impurity.
"All shall be white before the eyes of the Lord Arceus."
-- Arceus 16-5

 When our Lord Arceus had at last finished crafting the world from stardust, what then should be the divine do with the remnants of immateria? These forfgotten fragments of reality have been sealed away in the Sacred Land. Behind the nine doors, four pillars of light bind the New World to a shadow of our own. Yet, the sleeping legend remains.
"The Lord Arceus shall come again. The New World, too, shall be Reborn."
-- Arceus 38-27

 "Our father, fallen from heaven, honored by thy name, your kingdom, born, this world, forlorn the New World shall become thy heaven."
-- Arceus 7-1

 So kind was light to show us mercy, that in its shade we festered heresy. Twixt three stones, each shaded void, six pillars shone, their truth deployed: Emerald, Crimson, Violet, Gold, Azure and Ivory seal as told. Take heed of its prison, o ye foolish men, for the blackest beast lies at light's end.

 "Place faith in the Lord, and so shall he in you. Please animosity upon the Lord, and so shall he upon you. This lesson is not an easy one to learn. Some will never fully grasp it. Many will only pretend to. Today, I would like to share with you the story of how I came to learn this.
I was born to the purpose of Arceus, but I was born blind. Growing up as a boy with no sight in a world like this is no easy task, but of course, I learned to take care of myself. For some time, that was the only thing I could be proud of. My family was an old one, back from the days when Reborn City was no more than a village around a crater, both of which are since lost underground. When first Arceus' birthplace crashed upon our world, one family set about enshrining it. They would protect it from the world, so that its purity might remain ever intact. This was their life's calling. And this was not my family.
Mine came years later, and, finding light in their purpose, swore to serve that family. So it came to be that each generation of my house served theirs. Until it came to me, a defective blind child, who would do more harm than good as a servant. The man to whom I should have been sworn was born some ten years after me. We know him as Solaris. He was a raucous youth, never quite satisfied with his life's charge of protecting an old monument. As I understood, for most of his life he resented this purpose, lashing out, as many of the youth do, against Arceus.
I could understand his feelings. Why, I asked myself, if Arceus is so great, should he have made me this way? Why did I have to suffer? Why did I have to serve? As it turned out, Solaris would be the one to show me the answer. A failed vassal, I dared not approach him, and thought our fathers were close, mine never allowed me to see the young master as I was growing up. It was not until I was well into a miserable adulthood that we first met.
Solaris knew of me, of course. He knew my family was due by lineage to serve his, and he had heard of the blind man, whom others had deemed unfit for his presence. And, as he did with all things, he rebelled. He offered his hand to me. I took it with an oath of servitude. This was not a chance I should have been given. So, I pushed myself as hard as I could to try and have value to my master. But both of us were lordless, lawless men. He had no purpose to serve but fighting his own, and we found common ground therein.
Nevertheless, Arceus would reach us eventually. For many years, Solaris questioned, "Just what does the meteor need to be protected from?" It was already locked up with the four crystal keys. And who would want to defile some old rock anyway? This was a lesson he learned the heard way, when his parents were both killed by as assailant seeking those very keys. The young master was too late to save them, but just in time to avenge them. So he bludgeoned the man who had claimed the keys until his arms were too battered to hold on to them anymore. And until his lips were too loose to keep secrets. "Why?!", Solaris cried, over and over.
The assailant would tell him rumors he had never believed, of a great power locked within the meteor, lying dormant for years. Whether it was true or not, the thief believed it, and so he grasped at it. "Why?!". Solaris continued to cry.
And so he said, on and on until daybreak, thrashing against the culprit's body for long after there was any soul still there to know it. He was no longer asking anyone other than himself. Why had he refused to listen to his parents? Why had he not seen the danger they were in? Why could he not save them? And believing that he had led to the death of his own parents. For the first time, he strode forward to meet his life's purpose. The Lord will punish those who lack faith. This is what is to be learned from Solaris' tale. My own awakening came a number of years later.
When my master walked the path of the Lord, so naturally did I have to as well. I would follow my friend, but in regards to faith, my service was half-hearted. Solaris recognized this, and one day he confronted me about it. After some discussion, he offered the Emerald Key he should have himself vanguarded with his life, in return for my faith. He wished for me not just to serve him, but to personally share his burden. I accepted this, and resolved to place every ounce of my trust in the Lord, and my friend.
When I awoke the next morning, the key still clutched tightly against my chest, I was assaulted by a phenomenon I had never experienced before. Lights, dazzling colors, shapes so blurred I could scarcely recognize the forms I was so used to navigating around otherwise. Sight. There are no words to describe the feelings of seeing my master's face for the first time. Or that seeing my own face. That of finally being able to really understood what worlds like 'golden' and 'light' meant. Before they were just dreams, but I knew that the Lord-- and my trust in him-- had made it real. The Lord will reward those with true faith.
It has been many years since then. I am constantly assaulted with sorrow and worry for the sake of my daughter, and for his son both. I do not wish them to receive any punishment as my friend did. I wish them both all the blessings of the Lord they have turned from. I fear, too, for each of you. Though less so, than for each of the heretics above. The city's miserable state is no doubt a result of its divergence from the Lord. Therefore, I implore you, Please, trust in Arceus. Please, guide others to trust in Arceus. Under the Lord's light, may we all see bright futures.
Thank you."
