Decrepit Cellar -- Path of Exile
A Sanctum run contains 4 floors, each containing 8 rooms. The 8th room of each floor always contains a Boss. Players can choose to engage in a room every time they encounter the portal to the Sanctum in an area or map, or defer up to 8 rooms (1 floor) to be run consecutively at a later time. Crashing during a Sanctum room will reset progress for that room and will resume the same area on your next map. Aureus and rewards are only locked in upon successful completion of a room. Each Sanctum run is independent between characters on the same account.

The Decrepit Cellar is a common room found in The Forbidden Sanctum, an end-game Delve mechanic in Path of Exile. It often appears on Floor 2 of the Sanctum and offers a quick escape route or a quick fight depending on your preference.
Here's what you can expect:
- Layout: The Decrepit Cellar is a small, dimly lit room with a simple layout.
- Exit Options: There are two main exit options in the Decrepit Cellar:
- Jump and Rush: On one side of the room, there's a gap you can jump across, leading to a platform with stairs down to the next floor. This is the fastest way to exit the room and avoid any enemies.
- Fight and Exit: On the other side of the room, there's a staircase leading down to a corridor with Sanctum Guards and another exit. This option provides an opportunity for combat and potential loot, but it takes longer than the jump route.
- Monsters: Depending on the room layout, you might encounter a few low-level Sanctum Guards near the jump gap or the staircase exit.
Tips:
- If you're prioritizing speed, choose the jump and rush option. It's the quickest way to exit the Decrepit Cellar and minimize enemy encounters.
- If you're feeling confident and want some extra loot or experience, take the staircase exit and clear the room of Sanctum Guards.
- Be aware of projectile-using monsters near the jump gap, especially on higher Sanctum difficulty levels.
- Watch out for the guard patrolling near the stairs if you choose the combat route.
Overall, the Decrepit Cellar is a straightforward room with minimal challenge. It provides a quick escape route or a minor combat encounter depending on your choice.
