Sacred Arts, or, Holy Arts in Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris are System Commands in Project Alicization. Some residents of Underworld believe these are magic rituals. Instead, these System Commands grant new power to the caster through imagination. The Upgrades can improve a player’s power and give them new abilities with longer-lasting effects. During the game, players can find two Sacred Arts upgrades for each of the eight elements: Light, Wind, Heat, Steel, Darkness, Crystal, Ice, and Water. The Sacred Arts Upgrades can increase a player’s elemental power during fights.

To find many of these upgrades, players will need to interact with various statues around the maps of Underworld. Typically, these locations will be marked with a purple Relic Quest symbol. Examining the statues will teach the player the Sacred Art Upgrade. Here is where to find every Sacred Arts Upgrade in Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris.

The Sacred Arts Upgrades are scattered across the map and are typically marked by Relic Quest symbols. Finding them requires players to use the Examine interaction on several statues. Two upgrades for the same element may be found on opposite ends of the map. This list will provide the location for each:

  • Light Level 2, “Divine Light”: In Sothercrois Empire’s Deusoldort Desert between the markers for Savage of Nature and The Head of a Violent Clan.
