Sanctus Clypeus is the headquarters of the Knights of the Crimson Moon and the central hub for every Hunt. The ancient stronghold is also known as the Divine Shield and was once called Crimson Hall.
Hub Overview and Lore
The Knights share Sanctus Clypeus with the Lunitarian Church under an uneasy alliance. Between Hunts, Nephilim recover, manage Gear, strengthen the permanent arsenal, speak with residents, and plan the next assignment.
War Table and Loadout Station
Use the War Table to select the next Ward and Mission. Before deployment, use the Loadout Station to equip purified Weapons, Shields, Armor, Trinkets, and Consumables from your permanent collection, then choose an Angel.
Take a Bounty, review upgrades, buy supplies, build the Loadout, choose an Angel, then select the Mission.

Matchmaking and Co-op Hub
Sanctus Clypeus also acts as a matchmaking lobby. You can invite a friend, use Quick Match, or enter a Join Code. Co-op partners return to the same hub after a Mission and can keep adjusting Loadouts, using progression services, and speaking with NPCs together.
Services and Unlock Order
Permanent level rewards open the hub gradually. The current official level table confirms the Merchant and Blacksmith at level 2, Bounties at level 3, and Librarian Boons at level 4.
