Ritual

Ritual now has a new Atlas home, a rebuilt tree, cleaner altar flow, more focused rewards, and a map-chain mechanic that leads to the Ritual pinnacle boss.

Ritual

What changed​

  • Ritual has a new hub: Caer Tarth, west of the Atlas start.
  • Maps around Caer Tarth always contain Ritual and grant Ritual Atlas Tree points.
  • The Ritual Atlas Passive Tree was completely revamped.
  • After completing a Ritual Altar, locusts now point toward the next altar.
  • Endgame Ritual reward screens now offer only uniques or omens.

King and Queen progression​

  • Unspent Tribute can be sacrificed to gain an Audience with the King.
  • Killing the King in the Mists drops The Head of the King.
  • The Head of the King starts Rite of the Nameless in Caer Tarth.
  • Rite of the Nameless asks you to choose five maps that form one continuous Ritual chain.
  • Each map grants one key element for the Ritual pinnacle boss.
  • A new boss, The Queen in the Mists, can be unlocked from the Atlas Tree and drops new corrupted Idols.

Practical notes​

  • Rite maps after the first gain extra modifiers that affect Ritual difficulty and rewards.
  • Monsters from each Ritual, including map bosses, reappear in later maps of the chain.
  • Freythorn Rituals no longer show deferred items, preventing rewards from being stranded on higher-level reruns.
