Devotion Shrines

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

Introduction

[updated for Grim Dawn v1.2.0.2]

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).

This guide assumes that you have both expansions (Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods). Otherwise some shrines might not be available to you, even in the areas you have access to.

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	32	34	36
Ashes of Malmouth Expansion (AoM)	6	7	11
Forgotten Gods Expansion (FG)	11	11	12
Total	49	52	59

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:

[Luzzifus]

I updated the guide for v1.2.0.2. If anything is still wrong or missing, please let me know.

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Tomb of the Watchers is also now available on Normal.

[Luzzifus]

@Keter thanks for the hint. I'll try to find time for another run and update the guide.

[Keter]

the latest update put the Shrine for Conflagration in Normal Mode. I think a redux is needed.

[The Killer]

some of the shrines listed do not exist for me. flooded passage for example.
atm plaing on Elite, there was none there on normal either.

[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
