The King barely tolerated these temples dedicated to foreign beliefs, to say the least.
One could say that the Fractured Shrines have become a real snake pit in recent times...
How could the ancients’ primitive technology build these giant swords? Some believe they originated from beyond the sea, others look to the sky while wearing funny hats.
The view is amazing, but the locals are said to be somewhat cantankerous until you get to know them.
Forcing the pagan cult out into the wild parts of the island was one of the rare edicts of the King that enjoyed unanimous support.
The King forbade his subjects from venturing into the Fractured Shrines for their own safety. A completely superfluous law given that no one wanted to go there anyway.
The King didn’t want his people to venture close to the Shrines, the Pagans didn’t want the people to venture close to the Shrines, the people didn’t want to venture close to the shrines...

Fractured Shrines Flag

The Fractured Shrines are a fourth level biome exclusive to the Fatal Falls DLC.

The Fractured Shrines are home to pagan heretics that practiced a foreign religion. They were banished to the floating islands for their beliefs, a decision supported by all in the kingdom. On these floating islands they built their temples, hence the area's name. The existence of these temples is barely tolerated by the king. The islands and temples are riddled with traps. In the background there are giant statues of swords with snakes coiled around them, which indicates that their religion may have revered snakes, which is also supported by the appearances of some of the enemies unique to the biome.

General information

Access and exit

The Fractured Shrines can be entered from the Black Bridge and the Nest. The Fractured Shrines lead to the Clock Tower, Forgotten Sepulcher and the second biome of the Fatal Falls DLC, the Undying Shores which needs to be unlocked by wearing the cultists outfit. After the entrance is unlocked the first time it will stay unlocked.

Guarded treasure room

In the temples there are gaint doors guarded by Stone Wardens. When the Stone warden is defeated the door opens. Behind these doors there can be a 3 choice chained legendary item altar, a treasure chest, a lore room or the vault that imprisons Serenade.

Secret areas

There is an island that can be reached by platforming over invisible platforms. The rain splashes reveal their location. After that there is a small gauntlet of traps. This leads to a building that can only be accessed from one side, although alternatively one can enter from the very top where there are 3 breakable floors stacked on top of eachother if the player has acquired the Ram Rune IconRam Rune. In the building there is a Stone Warden guarding a door which leads to a unique treasure room with a vault inside. By opening the vault, the player can free Serenade, which will force itself into one of their skill slots, causing the previous item to be dropped on the ground. The blueprint itself instantly goes into your inventory and still needs to be delivered to the Collector.

Enemy blueprints

The blueprints for the Iron Staff and Rocky Outfit are dropped by Stone Wardens and the blueprint for the Snake Fangs and Lizard Outfit are dropped by Cold Blooded Guardians.
