# Ritual

* Unique Rewards: 
  * [[Omen of Sinistral Exaltation]], [[Omen of Greater Exaltation]], [[Omen of Dextral Annulment]], 
  * [[Ritual Precursor Tablet]]
* Pinnacle Boss: [[The King in the Mists]]

Ritual altars are sacrificial sites built by the mysterious King in the Mists.

If you encounter this symbol on the Atlas, then you know that an area contains Ritual altars.

Ritual altars demand tribute. Every monster you slaughter in the circle will feed the altar.

After the sacrifice, touch it to begin the Ritual. The monsters you just killed will be resurrected by the King in the Mists’
dark magic, and you must fight to survive.

The tribute you have offered to the altar can be spent to buy powerful items, but they can be expensive.
To gain more tribute, you will want to find more altars.

Each successive Ritual you do within an area will spawn the monsters
revived by the previous ones, in addition to the ones you sacrifice next to it.

By the end of an area, you'll be fighting a truly imposing number of foes,
but will have a significant amount of tribute to spend.

##### Omens

One of the rewards you can buy with tribute are Omens.
These are special items that allow for meta crafting: crafting items that affect other crafting items.

Have an item with good prefixes but bad suffixes? This Omen will help you remove the mods you don't want while keeping the ones you do.

There are a bunch more of these with different effects, but we'll leave those for you to discover. Now don't forget that Ritual will also drop tablets,
which can be used to specialize into getting more Rituals.

If you want to get to the pinnacle boss of Ritual,
then you'll probably want to use them. They can also be crafted to grant mods, making your Rituals more rewarding.

The pinnacle encounter of Ritual is the King in the Mists, feared by the Azmeri people.

He is said to have brought eternal darkness to the Wildwood. We won't show the encounter, but just like Breach,
there are a range of unique items you can get for defeating him and you will gain points in the Ritual section of the Atlas tree.
