Arcane Sanctuary is a surface area in Act 2. It is accessed through Palace Cellar Level 3 or through its waypoint.

Arcane Sanctuary belongs to the terror zone Arcane Sanctuary, Harem and Palace Cellar. When it is terrorized in Hell, its monsters are 2 levels above your character, up to level 96, and give 25% more experience.

Arcane Sanctuary has up to three super chests at the end of each branch without the Summoner (up to nine a run). A super chest looks like a normal chest and always spawns on the same tiles. It ignores treasure classes and magic find: a 16-bit seed picks one of 65,536 fixed drop patterns, with a separate set for locked chests. Drops are all magic (95%) or all rare (5%), and some patterns contain high runes. See Lower Kurast super chests.
