Minor 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.

While not as flashy as their "Major" counterparts, Minor Treasure rooms in The Forbidden Sanctum still offer a welcome reward and a brief respite from the constant combat and pressure. They're essentially smaller treasure chambers, providing a quick opportunity to boost your resources and potentially snag some useful loot.
Layout:
- Minor Treasure rooms tend to be compact chambers, often featuring a central platform or sarcophagus surrounded by a few locked chests.
- They might be adorned with minor statues, glowing torches, or other simple decorative elements.
Challenges:
- Minimal Combat: Compared to other rooms, Minor Treasure areas don't typically feature any enemies, allowing you to catch your breath and focus on looting.
- Locked Chests: The chests, however, will be locked, requiring you to spend a small amount of Aureus (the Sanctum's currency) to open them.
- Random Loot: The contents of the chests are randomized, offering the potential for valuable Sanctum-specific items, currency shards, or even Relics.
Rewards:
- Resource Replenishment: The minor loot gained can help replenish your health flasks, potions, or even offer some useful crafting materials.
- Potential Boon for Aureus: Depending on the specific Sanctum layout, some Minor Treasure rooms might occasionally spawn a Boon altar, allowing you to purchase a temporary blessing in exchange for Aureus.
- Opportunity for Relics: While rare, certain Minor Treasure rooms could hold hidden alcoves or secret passages leading to additional chests, potentially containing valuable Relics.
Tips for Conquering Minor Treasure Rooms:
- Prioritize Aureus Management: Decide whether the potential rewards outweigh the Aureus cost of opening the chests before spending your currency.
- Think about Boon Needs: If a Boon altar spawns, analyze your current situation and needs to determine if purchasing a temporary buff is beneficial.
- Keep an Eye Out for Secrets: Be mindful of your surroundings, as hidden passages might be disguised as cracks in walls or seemingly innocuous statues.
- Don't Linger: While welcome, Minor Treasure rooms shouldn't delay your progress significantly. Move on quickly to maximize your time exploring the Sanctum.
Overall, Minor Treasure rooms in The Forbidden Sanctum offer a quick and reliable way to restock your resources, potentially find valuable items, and potentially even score a bonus Boon. By managing your resources wisely and keeping an eye out for hidden opportunities, you can make the most of these modest treasure chambers and enhance your overall Sanctum run.
