Ritual Altar

This article is a stub. Please help improve the article by expanding it.

Ritual altars show up in maps and vary from 1-4 per map. They are inactive until enough enemies are killed within the radius of the altar to active it, and gradual light up per kill until fully activated.

The first ritual altar on a map will re-summon the enemies killed within the radius (while the ritual is not charged), and give you tribute.

The successive ritual altars will do the same, but will also once again summon the enemies that were killed while charging the previous altars, which means you can kill the same rares/unique monsters multiple times in the same map if they killed within the radius of the altars.

Small, moving blood pools will appear under killed enemies that count towards the ritual when activated. Luring faraway monsters into the circle will not add to the ritual encounter.
