Shrine Inkwater Marsh

Spirit Shrine in Inkwater Marsh

'"If you care to put your skills to the test, there's a Spirit Shrine nearby. Just the place for you to prove your mettle."'
Opher during first meeting


Combat Shrines (or Spirit Shrines) are one of the types of "challenge" shrines, where Ori can fight multiple waves of enemies for various rewards. When completed, the combat shrine will reward you with a Shard Slot Upgrade.

Once activated, the base of the shrine will start to glow, and enemies will emerge from the background. Every time a wave is completed, the shrine will eject around 5 energy shards, and one of the pillars will glow. Once all of the waves are complete the central shrine structure will glow and a Shard Slot Upgrade will appear. The enemies spawned by the shrine will not drop health, energy or spirit light. If the player does not want to continue they can leave the shrine 'arena'. A notification will appear on screen notifying the player that they are leaving, warning them that straying too far will forfeit the shrine attempt.

Ori can complete the Shrines multiple times. There is little reason to do this, as the reward in only a small amount of spirit light. Each shrine is signified by two icons on the map, when completed it is checked off on the map, when incomplete it is a clear and unchecked shrine
