The Sanctuary Scroll (Japanese: せいいきの巻物) is a Scroll in Template:GameTitle.
Sanctuary Scrolls are different to every other type of scroll as they are used while placed on the floor.
Once a Sanctuary Scroll has been placed or dropped on the ground, it cannot be picked back up in any way other than reading it.

Effect on Shiren
Dropping a Sanctuary Scroll by any means will make the space with the scroll on it into a "sanctuary" spot. If Shiren is standing on the scroll space, they will gain the following protection:
- Monsters will not melee/normal attack Shiren.
- Monsters will not use abilities that are only have use while next to Shiren. e.g. Cursing items, reducing maximum or current Fullness or draining maximum Strength.
Attacks and abilities that are normally ranged, will still be used. e.g Dragon fire, Rocks thrown, Magic bolts fired, Arrows shot, Cannons fired, or monsters thrown at Shiren.
Special Enemies will still melee attack Shiren when standing on a Sanctuary Scroll.
Effect on Monsters
Monsters and Boss-type Monsters will avoid stepping on the square that has the Sanctuary Scroll, though, when landing on this square by any means, will be instantly defeated. They will drop items as per normal, but Shiren will not gain any Experience and there will be no "___ was defeated" message. Characters and Special Enemies excluding Bosses do not try to avoid stepping on the scroll and are unharmed when doing so.
Unlocking the Sanctuary Scroll
Because Sanctuary Scrolls cannot be found, purchased or created from a Jar of Change reading one prior so that the name can be written onto a Blank Scroll is virtually impossible.
Instead, the ability to obtain one using a Blank Scroll is unlocked by completing Table Mountain at least once. Once you have completed this task, the game will note your accomplishment in various ways, but the most obvious is the Golden Condor icon when you load your save file.
It is possible to unlock both the Sanctuary Scroll and the Destruction Scroll on the same run.
Tips For Use
- Sanctuary Scrolls will not work against hostile Characters or Special Enemies.
- Putting one of these on the ground can save you when surrounded, especially in Monster Houses, however you will still be vulnerable to ranged attacks.
- Explosions (including Popster Tank Family attacks) can destroy a Sanctuary Scroll.
- You cannot pick up a Sanctuary Scroll that was created using a Blank Scroll that was already on the floor.
- Thiefwalrus Family Monsters, including transformed Shiren, cannot steal/pick up a placed Sanctuary Scroll.
