Ritual Mechanic Explained

Altars that Spawn Mobs

Rituals are map events that appear as Ritual Altars scattered throughout the area. Eliminating and sacrificing enemies within the circle of the altar will allow you to interact with it and start the Ritual event itself, which will respawn the sacrificed enemies.

Defeating sacrificed enemies within the circle will provide you with Tribute, a currency you will use at the Favour shop which can be accessed by interacting with the finished Ritual Altar.

Keep in mind that the more enemies you sacrifice, the more Tribute you will gain for spending Favours.

Ritual Drops and Rewards

Favours

Favours are items you can buy from completed Ritual Altars and offers various rewards such as Ritual-exclusive equipment and other currencies like Omens, an item used for affecting other crafting items.

Ritual Tablets

Aside from tributes, enemies also have a chance of dropping Ritual Tablets which can be slotted in Lost Towers to add more Ritual nodes within range. This will be your most important item for sustaining your Ritual farming so try to pick these up as much as you can.

Ritual Tablets can be crafted and upgraded as you see fit for even more affixes that can benefit your loot economy.

Ritual Pinnacle Boss

The King in the Mists

The King in the Mists is the pinnacle boss of Ritual events and can be accessed by offering a certain map fragment at the Realm Gate to open the Crux of Nothingness. This will require you to complete the initial rituals first before you can take on The King in the Mists.
