Shrines (2024)

Shrines are statues that the player can interact with to (sometimes) sacrifice something and receive something in return. Shrines can be indicated before entering due to the presence of a green lantern by the door.

It appears each arm of the shrine could hold a weapon.N/AGive the shrine the Com4nd0, M1911, Void Marshal, Machine Pistol, Eye of the Beholster, and the Trank Gun, the weapons the Beholster uses in-game. After placing all guns on the shrine throughout multiple runs, they will all be returned to the player, granting the Shrines (4) Behold! synergy.

With the synergy, when the Eye of the Beholster is held, the other guns rotate around the player and shoot at nearby enemies, still using up ammo from each gun. Note that once the synergy is granted, the shrine will reset to having 0 guns once again.

BlankThe only legible text is "...offering..."

The rest is blank.

N/AUsing a blank near the statue has a 90% chance to spawn a chest. This chest may be locked or unlocked. Repeated use of blanks can spawn more chests, but each chest received decreases the success chance by 45%, down to a minimum of 25%. The chest can be a mimic.

Elder Blank does not activate the blank shrine.Dead players in Co-op cannot activate the blank shrine.

BloodAn ominous fountain, filled with blood. It isn't quite full...Sacrifice
Kaliber Mah Shakti DeRemoves one heart container (or two armor if playing as The Robot). Some enemies become highlighted in red. Standing near highlighted enemies damages and drains them, healing the player after draining enough. This can be used to damage enemies such as Cannonbalrog while they have disappeared.

This effect will carry over to a Gungeoneer's past.
The damaging aura's healing will not grant any armor for the The Robot.

Using this shrine twice will unlock the Life Orb.

Shrines (7)
ChallengeDark energy permeates this shrine.

The statue fills you with a sense of foreboding.

N/AUsing the shrine forces the player to fight through three waves of enemies. Surviving the waves rewards the player with a chest. The chest can be a mimic. May disappear if the player moves on to another room before challenging.

May occasionally appear in a secret room.

Repeated use only increases the chance to fire additional bullets. It has no effect on the number of bullets fired — these are always random.
