Don't know if it's a bug--can't access relic altar

Okay so maybe it's me being dumb:

1) I ignored the league mechanic on league start during the campaign. Although due to how the void thing spawns, I did end up accidentally running into it a few times. When I did, I just ran back out.

2) In maps, I started wondering why I don't seem to have a relic altar.

3) Looked in forums and one thread has a pic of where the altar should be in the first room of a FRESH sanctum run. When I went there on a fresh run, I can see the altar but it is not interactable.

4) Saw another thread that mentioned completing it in the Fellshrine Ruins to unlock the altar. Went there and there are thick grey vines covering the entrance. Wasn't a fresh sanctum at the time.

5) Finished current sanctum run (lost to floor boss) then went back to Fellshrine entrance. The thick grey vines covering the entrance are still there.

**I still have the "explore to discover the mysteries of the sanctum" quest for Act 2 at this point (incomplete).

6) Thought maybe I should check the Coast as that's the first zone I saw the void entrance. The entire coast has no such entrance now.

7) Exited game and went back in. At this point the quest for Act 2 no longer shows as incomplete.

So now I'm left wondering, am I just screwed? Am I permanently locked out of the altar part of the league mechanic?

It seems to me as if you cant access the relic alter and change stuff as long as you are still running a Sanctum.

Might be coincidence but I was only able to access it and change stuff once a run was over.
Then I had to pick my stuff in the very first room and couldnt touch it while the run was ongoing.


It doesnt sound like you still have an ongoing Sanctum run, but if so, make sure to end it and then try again.

Its weird tho, that the NPC didnt show up in Fellshrine ruins and that may very well have screwed you. I had to get here to the Forbidden Sanctum - the Ruins with the Vines as you described it - and she opened it.
Turns out that this is the starting room for every run and thats where is the Relic Altar is located.

You have to get into the Fellshrine Ruins from The Crossroads, Divina is waiting for you there. Then you get to the entrance and she will destroy the vines so you can get inside.

**BUT** now I have my first relic in the big coffer of relics, and I start a new Sanctum run and there are no Relic Altars, just the relic coffer... so I'm stuck too.

:(

Hrm... so getting to the Fellshrine from the Crypt waypoint won't work then? I'll give that a try.


Orbaal - As I mentioned a few times, I made sure to end any current Sanctum run prior to trying.

Edit: Finding Divinia worked. Thanks!

Where is that?
