Absolum Sacrifice Ordeal: How to Get All Medals

To clear the Sacrifice Ordeal with All Medals in Absolum, complete the run without visiting any shops or spending crystals, while sustaining your health strictly through basic attacks and your passive lifesteal.

Because Arcana casts cost 20 HP each and traditional Arcana gauges are disabled, success depends on using standard melee attacks for damage recovery and reserving Arcana for high-density enemy waves.

Sacrifice Ordeal Modifiers and All-Medal Conditions

The trial replaces standard resource mechanics with strict health-based penalties and challenge restrictions:

Constraint / Modifier	Trial Mechanism	Strategic Impact
Arcana HP Penalty	Costs 20 HP per cast	Using abilities directly drains health; reckless casts cause self-inflicted death.
Arcana Gauge	None (Disabled)	Ability usage is governed entirely by your current HP pool rather than energy build-up.
Lifesteal Passive	5% on damage dealt	Serves as your primary source of healing throughout the trial.
No Shops Condition	Required for All Medals	Prevents buying health items, defensive gear, or mid-run stat boosts.
No Crystals Condition	Required for All Medals	Prevents spending crystals on upgrades or continues during the run.

Health Management and Arcana Usage

Because Arcana gauges are removed, every ability activation deducts 20 HP directly from your health bar. To survive without shop-bought healing items:

Rely on Basic Attacks: Use standard attack strings and basic combos as your main offensive tool. Basic attacks cost zero health and continuously trigger the 5% lifesteal recovery.
Limit Arcana to Crowded Waves: Only cast Arcana when targeting large groups of enemies. The combined damage against multiple targets yields higher total health returns from lifesteal, offsetting the 20 HP activation cost.
Set an HP Threshold: Never cast Arcana if your current health is low enough that the 20 HP deduction puts you within single-hit kill range. Shift strictly to basic melee attacks and dodging until your health recovers.

Positioning and Combat Execution

Without shop upgrades or crystal purchases to compensate for tactical errors, clean combat execution is mandatory:

Line Up Enemies: Kite targets along arena boundaries to stack them in a single line in front of you. This prevents backstabs while allowing basic attacks to strike multiple foes simultaneously, accelerating your lifesteal rate.
Avoid Unnecessary Hits: The 5% lifesteal recovers health incrementally. Taking large hits from heavy attacks will outpace your recovery rate. Prioritize manual dodges and spatial awareness over completing risky combos.
Disengage at Low Health: If your health drops into a dangerous zone, pull back to the edge of the arena, isolate single enemies, and use basic attacks to steadily regain HP before re-engaging the remaining wave.
