Salt and Sanctuary: How To Co-Op and Play With Friends

Praise the salt.

Salt and Sanctuary is an incredibly fun game reminiscent of the Souls series. And like any Souls game, Salt and Sanctuary is also hard to grasp and very obtuse about its information giving. So to ease your confused mind, here’s how to bring in a co-op partner into your adventure.

To play co-op you’re going to need to establish the first sanctuary and then acquire a Stone Sellsword statue. You can find one in the Bandit’s pass near the beginning of the game, but you can also choose to take one at the beginning of character creation if you want to play co-op from the get-go.

Once you make an offering with the Stone Sellsword, a real sellsword will appear in the sanctuary. You can then talk to him and select “Hire.” The co-op player will then take control of the sellsword, and is able to select any character on their own account to bring into the game!

Here the effects of bring in a co-op player, via the Salt and Sanctuary Wiki.
