Ritual

Rituals are a map mechanic. Rituals are mysterious sacrificial sites built by the The King in the Mists. Interacting with a ritual altar after defeating the enemies in a circle marked around the altar will begin the encounter. A dark mist will surround a circle around the altar, preventing the exile from leaving, and previously killed monsters will be resurrected.

Killing monsters within the circle will grant tribute. After a ritual altar is complete, tribute earned can be spent at the altar for rewards. Multiple ritual altars will appear in a given map, and monsters sacrificed at previously completed altars will reappear at following altars. This means each altar will give more tribute than the last, and often completing all altars is needed to see the most expensive rewards.

The pinnacle encounter of Ritual is the The King in the Mists, accessed through using An Audience with the King.

A preview of the Ritual mechanic is found in campaign, in the act 1 areas Hunting Grounds and Freythorn.
