Within the Shrine District, your path to the main temple is blocked by a series of locked gates, each requiring a specific 'offering' to open. You'll find a series of small shrines, each with an empty pedestal. Your journal will update with cryptic clues about the required offerings. The first clue points to 'The Blood of the Unclean'. This refers to a Vial of Contaminated Blood, which can be found by defeating a 'Grotesque Priest' mini-boss in the smaller temple to the west. Place the Vial on the first pedestal. The second clue mentions 'The Echo of a Lost Voice'. This refers to a Cracked Bell Fragment, located in the bell tower of the eastern temple. You'll need to climb a precarious ladder to reach it. Place the Fragment on the second pedestal. The final clue speaks of 'The Seed of Corruption'. This is a Pulsating Seedpod, found within a hidden grotto behind the main temple, guarded by several 'Flower-Headed' creatures. Place the Seedpod on the third pedestal. Once all three offerings are placed, the main temple gates will open, leading you to the next major encounter.
