Ritual

Rituals are a map mechanic. Rituals are mysterious sacrificial sites built by 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; when they do, monsters sacrificed at previously completed altars will reappear at following altars.

Omens are an exclusive reward from ritual altars. The pinnacle encounter of Ritual is the King in the Mists.
