The Sacred Well was a life giving pool in the Realm of the Sun, located on the second level (the Level of Light) in the remote Sacred Well Room.

Background[]

After Lucreto broke the Mask of Eternity he polluted the Sacred Well with water from the Dimension of Death, transforming it into a cauldron. The cauldron manufactured Lucreto's Henchmen. The room came to be known as the Cauldron Room.

When Connor first arrived there, he found the cauldron with a foul mix in it, reminding him of the vision in the witch's cauldron back in the Witch's Tower). After looking at it a while, he have noticed the mix stirred and have hidden just in case. Soon, another of the Henchmen have appeared from the cauldron and hurried away to his post.

Remembering how the mix in the first cauldron have been cured, Connor cured the other with a shining Medallion found on the first level (the Level of Truth).

After it was cured, the Sacred Well was able to cure the wounds, though (with all the curatives he already have possessed and being so close to the quest completion) it proved not to be that useful as the other wells and fountains.

Behind the scenes[]

Sacred Well is technically not an official name, it is based on the description Connor gives for the Cauldron in the Cauldron Room after he restores it. In which he describes it as a 'sacred well' (lower case).[1] It is only ever described as the 'Cauldron', 'Lucreto's cauldron, 'bubbling basin', 'sacred healing well', and 'Bad Guy Soup' in the official strategy guide.
