Ritual

Kill into an altar's circle and the monsters you sacrificed come back, changed. Clearing the wave pays Tribute, which is the only currency the altar's own shop takes - spend it before you leave the map or lose it.

Ritual

Ritual Altars are sacrificial sites that absorb the monsters slain within their ritual circles. After an amount of monsters have been slain, the Ritual can be activated.

Activating the Ritual will resurrect the slain monsters, requiring you slay them once more.

Defeating these revived monsters earns you Tribute, a resource that you can trade for various Favours from the Ritual Altar.

The list of Favours tradable for Tribute can be rerolled, costing Tribute.

Favours can be deferred, paying a part of their cost but having them appear again later.

Free Rerolls

Ritual Free Rerolls allow rerolling Favours an additional time at no Cost.

Rite of the Nameless

The Rite of the Nameless is a group of maps which each contain Ritual Altars and a Map Boss.

Completing all Ritual Altars will drop an Effigy Piece.
