Devotion Shrines

An overview of all devotion shrines scattered around the world of Grim Dawn and everything you need to know about them.

Introduction

Devotion shrines are scattered around the world of Cairn. Each shrine requires items or combat to activate and grants a Devotion point to unlock a single star in Grim Dawns Devotion system. Many shrines can hardly be missed by following the storyline of the game, but some are a bit more hidden.

You can see a bigger version of each map picture by clicking on it. In each picture, the map is rotated to default view for easy comparison (north = straight up).

Each shrine in this guide is tagged with , and to show in which difficulties it is available. Number of available shrines throughout the whole game:

	Normal	Elite	Ultimate
Base Game	30	33	36
Ashes of Malmouth Expansion (AoM)	6	7	11
Forgotten Gods Expansion (FG)	10	10	11
Total	46	50	58

Even though there are more shrines, you can only get 55 Devotion points (50 in the base game), and after that, shrines will stop granting points.

Thank all of you for and all your nice comments!

Checklist

I created a printable checklist for those who would like to track their progress on multiple characters (print once per character) or just want a quick overview. I made two versions of it, each one in its own tab in the document:

1. All shrines in the order of progression through the game. Names and order as they are here in the guide.
   
2. Alphabetical order to compare to the ingame list. Uses ingame names and also has reference numbers to the shrines here in the guide.

And here is the link:

Worldmap

Not updated for FG yet!

I also assembled a full world map with all shrines unlocked. The numbers on the map correspond to the numbers in the guide. Also there are difficulty markers to show which guides are available in Elite (yellow) and Ultimate (orange).

The map is rather big and Steam doesn't allow to zoom embedded pictures. That's why I uploaded it elsewhere. If the link doesn't already open in your webbrowser, right-click it and copy the link address.

Worldmap with all Shrines[abload.de]

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Your numbers are incorrect.

Base game has 59 shrines across all difficulties: 28 in Normal, 17 Elite, 14 Ultimate
With AoM this increased to 73 shrines across all difficulties: 33 Normal and 20 each in Eilte and Ultimate.

With FG there are a massive 157 shrines across all difficulties: 59 in Ultimate, 51 Elite and 47 in Normal.

There are lists for both base/AoM and FG shrines here

'Extra Helpful'.

[FairMind]

Thank you very much for your hard work!

[Frenne Dilley]

So this means, when on normal you can only get 46 devotion points. Time to change my character plan then, ugh!!

[Dudegamer]

I thank you for the guide that you have presented to us, it has helped me a ton, but I want to mention that there is a Shrine in the Tomb of the Heretic that can be cleansed in any difficulty, making in a total of 47 shrines in normal mode

[Krighton]

Nice guide and thanks for taking the time to do this. Thumbs up!

[AngryStudent]

Thanks for an awesome guide! Could you add a "FG" tag in the description for shrines located in Act 1 to 4 that are only there for the DLC owners. Would make it so much better for us base game plebs.

[Luzzifus]

@Yarusenai: You probably don't have both expansion.

[Yarusenai]

Is there a reason why some shrines are just straight up missing for me? In Ultimate so far Ive only found one shrine and I am up to the Warden area...

[[IHRB] (P)(R)oland]

very nice guide but something is off. I just finished my first normal/veteran run and I have 47 shrines unlocked, also, there is achievement in game to unlock 60 shrines, and this guide says 58 is max?
