Major Treasure -- 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.

- Expect ornate architecture, statues, and golden accents hinting at the riches within.
Challenges:
- Elite Enemies: Prepare for encounters with high-tier Sanctum enemies like Champions, Rare mobs, and even unique bosses. These foes boast powerful attacks, increased survivability, and often possess unique abilities.
- Traps and Hazards: Major Treasure rooms often feature elaborate traps and environmental hazards. Be wary of pressure plates triggering blade traps, poison clouds erupting from the ground, or magical beams sweeping across the area.

Tips for Conquering Major Treasure Rooms:
- Come prepared: Ensure you have sufficient health, potions, and defensive skills to tackle the elite enemies and potential hazards.
- Prioritize survival: Don't get greedy! Focus on clearing enemies and avoiding traps before looting all the chests.
- Utilize movement skills: Dashes and blinks can be invaluable for dodging attacks, repositioning quickly, and activating pressure plates for traps without getting caught in the blast radius.
- Consider the Relics: Certain Relics can grant temporary invincibility, disable traps, or boost your loot luck, providing vital advantages.
- Manage your time: If a timer is present, prioritize opening the most promising chests and be ready to exit promptly to avoid getting locked in.
Overall, Major Treasure rooms offer a significant risk-reward proposition in The Forbidden Sanctum. By employing tactical combat, careful exploration, and efficient resource management, you can overcome the challenges and claim the riches for the taking. Remember, Exiles, fortune favors the bold... and the well-prepared!
