Sanctuary is an augment available in Dragon's Dogma.
Description[]
- "Improves your Defense and Magick Defense when you stand at death's door."
While your health is critical (equal or less than 30% of total health; when the screen is red), incoming physical damage is almost entirely mitigated.
Notes[]
- ERROR!!! The in-game description is misleading. Only damage sustained from physical attacks is reduced.
- Physical damage is usually 1 health point per hit.
- The augment is not effective at all when not in critical health.
- The magick shield Brilliance negates the effect of this augment - with it equipped physical attacks do great damage as if defense was zero.
- Has no effect on a purely magickal attack, and the magick of mixed physical and magickal attacks can still cause damage.
- Some creature melee attacks have a small magickal component and will not be entirely mitigated by this augment -these include Cursed Dragon snap, Eliminator foot pin and heavy smash, Living Armor attacks, as well as some more mundane attacks like those of a Cyclops with a flaming club.
- Doesn't mitigate other sources of physical damage, such as Fall Damage.
- Equipping this augment with Tenacity as well as Predation and or Health regenerative armor renders an Arisen practically immortal. Additional Damage Reducing Augments can be used for further peace of mind.
