Shrines?

[Linny]

I assume the "shrines" are the statue things. I have no idea what they do or how to use them. Also can you sell items in the shop ? Probably not.

1. yes, those are shrines
2. do you want to know how to use them (are you asking?)
3. no you cannot sell to shops

The Smith gives you new items when you give him your old ones (just drop item at him)

The Bloody gives you random stat for half of your current health or fairy (click up key to activate)

The Deranged take from you any item that you give him but his offerings are random

The Light gives you health for money

The Shackled changes your cursed items to much better god cursed items that you cant take off even with uncurse scrolls

Except in multiplayer. They can be removed by dying, and then reviving. It is really cheap to use this trick. IMO they should not be dropped when you die when equipped.

Each also has an effect when you kill it too:

The Smith: Shoots you with about 8 arrows

The Bloody: Does 10 damage to players

The Deranged: Destroys a massive amount of terrain, possibly instantly killing the players

The Light: Gives you a loan. Will not heal until the loan is paid back (with interest)

The Shackled: Curses all gear: chests, shops, all players bags, items on floor.

I didn't really want to know what they did, although I don't mind. Had no idea HOW to use the damn things though.... needs to be some kind of key tooltip when you are on them or something.

most of them I found out by accident (well... testing)...

I wish I had got to discover them myself, but there are no tips or info on HOW to use them... I thought you had to bash them down each time :C

I was afraid to bash them forever... Smith is the easiest to discover... then eventually Shackled... Light and Bloody are fun to discover too.

It would be nice if this could be changed.

The Smith and the Deranged, you have to drop items at them?
I do that and nothing happens.

Okay for clarity:

You must drop items DIRECTLY in front of them. You will know that the item is in range because it will be hovering above the ground, when compared with the default ground location.

Also Smith won't accept just anything. Basically Smith's requirement is: can you equip it? Arrows, Potions, Scrolls, Chicken, and Eyes won't be accepted.

Deranged will accept anything.

Now both require a certain "value" to be met before they will give anything in return. 1 Arrow is not enough to satisfy the Deranged. Also 1 piece of equipment is rarely enough for the Smith. Generally you want 3-4 items for Smith, and 1 equipment or 1-2 non-arrow items for Deranged.

there is a probabilitythat the altar is activated with a single object but have not a high probability. As you know every shrine works differently .
The deranged is finally my favorite next to the altar of the bloody ! ^^

Bloody is OP, Shackled used to be OP (before cursed items actually became bad), and Light is Bloody's best friend. The Smith takes care of my garbage.

From my understanding (haven't played in a while) the shrines each have values that carry over to subsquent levels. So if you drop some sacrifices at one shrine and don't get anything you've primed the shrines in later levels.
