Are you looking for shrines in Diablo I Shrines or Diablo II Shrines?


Diablo 3 Shrines are randomly-located, randomly-spawned objects that characters can click to receive temporary buffs to a variety of properties. Shrine effects pass to all players in the area when they are first triggered. There are 5 types of shrines, and each grants a buff that lasts for 2 minutes. The character who clicks the shrine and anyone else in the nearby area (on the visible screen) will gain the shrine benefit as well. Characters can benefit from multiple different shrines at once, but hitting the same shrine again will just refresh the full duration, not stack benefits or duration.

Various legendary items modify shrine effects, making them last longer or spawning monsters when Shrines are clicked.

Pylons are special types of shrines found only in Nephalem Rifts and sometimes in Greater Rifts. They grant different, larger bonuses than normal shrines and grant only a 30 second duration of buff. These buffs end immediately if a character leaves the Rift.

Shrine Development in Diablo 3[edit | edit source]

The developers initially planned Shrines to function much differently in Diablo III than they did in the previous games in the series. Bold statements about not providing just a short term random bonus were made, but ultimately the Diablo III team couldn't find a better implementation style, and went with a repeat of the format seen in Diablo I and Diablo II, though the D3 shrines have some different effects.

  • Information and blue quotes about shrines during development can be seen on the Shrine archive article.


Shrines in Previous Diablo Games[edit | edit source]

In Diablo I, shrines appeared as black wooden constructions with white crosses on them, candles burning on both sides. When the player clicked on them, the shrine would become disfigured and slightly demonic with a sword appearing near the base.

In Diablo II, shrines came in a large variety but were a bit more primal and not as tied to the real-life imagery of religion. In the early game, the player would stumble upon a shrine that consisted of skulls and bones sitting upon the top of a pike, with stones gathered around the base on the ground. When the player clicked on it, they effectively "desecrated" the shrine, destroyed it, giving the bonus.

However, in Diablo III, shrines were natively "desecrated" and the player purified them by interacting with them. The character classes of Diablo III were attempting to undo the damage done by the carelessness of the Diablo II characters. The "desecrated" lable was dropped from all shrines during development.
