Sanctum of Expiation Solution
Requirement: Listen to the Request from Witch of Strength – Areciel – see Witch Locations.
Step 1: Approach the sanctum from the East side at the end of the road leading to it. This sanctum is overrun with Antumbra enemies. Make your way through the sanctum defeating enemies until you have brought the percentage down to 0%. Once you get to 0% you will have liberated this Sanctum.
Step 2: Once the sanctum has been liberated you will be spawned just above where the core is. Head North and walk off the edge of the path. On the landing below turn around and look in the doorway and you will see thorns blocking your path. Burn away the thorns with Focused Light ( 
+ 
> hold / 
+ 
> hold / CTRL + Left Click > CTRL)
Once cleared, crouch and enter the path. Head down to the end of the path and climb up. Follow the path around until you get to another spot you can drop down into. Once inside look at the foliage covering the door. Use Focused Light again to burn the foliage.
Look up to the right and you will see the core:
Grab it with Axiom Force ( 
/ ‘TAB’ key) and bring it back to the device straight ahead on the right.
Step 3: Head to the South side of the device and use 
to use Force Palm to push in the core.
Step 4: Head to the North side of the ruins and look toward the ruins. Climb up the back wall of the ruins to the top of the building:
Once on top locate the breakable floor and run over it to destroy it:
Drop down inside the room, locate the windows in the Northeast corner of the room. The piece of pillar is located behind those windows:
Grab the piece with Axiom Force ( / ‘TAB’ key) and seal it inside the Kuku Pot ( 
/ 
/ ‘R’ key).
Step 5: Head back to the device and locate the broken pillar in the Northwest corner. Open the Kuku Pot in your inventory, from the Kuku Pot DISCARD “Fusion Reactor Core: XIV-I”. This will drop it out in the world. Grab it with Axiom Force and place it above the broken pillar, rotate it until it gets surrounded with leaves that indicate the proper position:
Once in the correct position climb on top of it and do a jumping Force Palm to slot it in (jump and / Mouse Wheel).
Step 6: If the witch Areciel doesn’t automatically appear, walk toward the square with lights in it:
