A restored Shrine.
Shrines are a means of earning Devotion points. They can be found scattered throughout the world of Cairn, however following the Grim Dawn they have fallen to ruin or become corrupted by sinister forces and will require restoration or cleansing in order to earn Devotion points.
There are two types of Shrines:
- Ruined Shrines will require various items to restore them
- Desecrated Shrines will summon a wave of creatures for the player to dispatch in order to purge the Shrine of its corruption.
Restoring a shrine grants a single point of Devotion, with a maximum of 50 points in the base game and 55 with the Ashes of Malmouth expansion. There are total of 59 shrines (73 with expansion) across all three difficulties, 28 (33) in Normal, 17 (20) in Elite and 14 (20) in Ultimate.
