Halcyon Shrine

The Halcyon Shrine is one of the Shrines in Risk of Rain 2, added in the Seekers of the Storm expansion.

Upon interacting with the shrine, a pillar of stone rises up and the players' gold is slowly taken away while they are in its vicinity. This gold is used to charge the shrine up, visually indicated by the pillar of stone turning to gold, while Stone Golem Stone GolemsStone GolemStone Golem

will spawn. Defeating the Halcyonite will spawn a number of rewards for each player before opening a portal indicated by the orb orbiting it.

Credits[]

The shrine requires 300 gold, scaled by difficulty, in order to fully charge. However, at 75 and 150 it crosses the minimum and medium thresholds, indicated by a visual and auditory effect. Once the minimum threshold has been crossed, the players can "pray" to the shrine by interacting with it again to terminate the charging process.

The shrine drains 1 gold every 0.2 seconds from up to 4 players that are within a 30-meter radius. For a single player it requires 60 seconds to fully charge it.

The Combat Director related to the shrine has 100 credits, also scaled by difficulty. Once the shrine is activated it spends all of its credits spawning Stone Golems in any required numbers and Elite modifiers. It also spawns another round of Stone Golems with the same number of credits when crossing the minimum and medium thresholds respectively. At a difficulty value of 1 killing all the Stone Golems will net the player 63 gold, or 21% of the total gold required to fully charge the shrine. However, as the difficulty increases the gold earned from the Stone Golems will solely be sufficient to fully pay off the shrine's requirements.

Aurelionite Fragment[]

Aurelionite Fragment

Once the Halcyonite has been killed, the shrine will drop a reward similar to a Void Potential for each player, where the higher the charging threshold has been crossed before summoning the Halcyonite, the more items will be available.

The items for any of these choices are selected from two mutually exclusive pools, where pool A are any items in the HalcyoniteShrine category and pool B any items not in that category. The rarity weights for both of the pools are:

  • Common: 60%
  • Uncommon: 35%
  • Legendary: 5%

The rewards for each threshold are summarised as follows

Threshold Number of items Can pick Number of HalcyoniteShrine items
Minimum 3 1 1
Medium 4 2 1
Maximum 5 3 2


If instead the

is enabled, n-2 command cubes will be dropped, where n is the number of item choices for each threshold, i.e., 1 for minimum, 2 for medium, and 3 command cubes for the maxed out threshold. If the shrine has not been fully charged, items from pool A will be selected, else from pool B. While with the Artifact of Command the player can choose any item, whether an item is selected from pool A or pool B affects the rarity distribution due to the drop chance bias, which in turn affects how likely a common, uncommon, or legendary command cube will be dropped.

Portals[]

The Halcyon Shrine can spawn either a Green or a Gold portal. The requirements for spawning either portal are as follow:

Notes[]

  • A viable strategy is to activate the shrine and quickly leave it to farm gold from the high value enemies instead of progressing the shrine.
  • If the stage has reached the limit of 40 monsters, the Golems that spawn upon activating the shrine or crossing a gold threshold will not spawn, even if the player later kills any monsters.
    • On the other hand, the Halcyonite will spawn once a monster has been killed. However, due to how the Combat Director works, the initial failure to spawn the Halcyonite results in selecting a new Director Card, which will most likely not be another Halcyonite. Nevertheless, the spawned monster will still be a Gilded Elite and killing it will drop any Aurelionite Fragments.

Version History[]

Seekers of the Storm
  • Added new Shrine: Halcyon Shrine

Trivia[]

  • The Halcyon Shrine can only spawn on locations that are marked as "NoCeiling", similar to the survivor pods at the beginning of the game. This along with the scattered pieces around the shrine itself imply that the construct is not native to Petrichor V, but has instead crashed into it.
    • The Lunar Pod is another such interactable that requires the "NoCeiling" flag.
