Ritual

Rituals are a map mechanic. Rituals are mysterious sacrificial sites built by the The King in the Mists. Interacting with a ritual altar after defeating the enemies in a circle marked around the altar will begin the encounter. A dark mist will surround a circle around the altar, preventing the exile from leaving, and previously killed monsters will be resurrected.

Killing monsters within the circle will grant tribute. After a ritual altar is complete, tribute earned can be spent at the altar for rewards. Multiple ritual altars will appear in a given map, and monsters sacrificed at previously completed altars will reappear at following altars. Each time a monster is revived, it gives less tribute than before, unless the atlas notable Reinvigorated Sacrifices is taken.

The pinnacle encounter of Ritual is the The King in the Mists, accessed through using An Audience with the KingAn Audience with the KingOn the edge of existence, he watches with ire.Travel to the Crux of Nothingness by using this item at The Realm Gate. Can only be used once..

A preview of the Ritual mechanic is found in campaign, in the act 1 areas Hunting Grounds and Freythorn.

Ritual Rewards

The reward screen offers a selection of items for purchace, in exchange for tribute. The rewards are split into three groups, with each group revealed after completing one of the rituals in the map. The rewards are sorted based on price, so the last group revealed contains the most expensive items.

Each item rewarded by ritual is grouped into a tier, and will always cost a similar amount.
