An activated Canthan Resurrection Shrine.
In PvE, Resurrection Shrines allow the party to resurrect after a complete wipe. Approximately 10 seconds after the death of the last surviving party member, the party is resurrected at the most recently activated Resurrection Shrine. Most Resurrection Shrines in the Factions and Nightfall campaigns also have a god's statue. Many Resurrection Shrines are close to an area boundary, but can also be found scattered in nearly all explorable areas. Resurrection Shrines found in missions are non-functional.
In PvP, Resurrection Shrines are found in many arenas, including Guild vs Guild battles, some Tournaments, Team Arena, and Random Arena maps. If attended by a priest, these Resurrection Shrines resurrect all dead party members every two minutes. The Resurrection Shrine stops working if the priest is killed, and it is usually necessary to kill the enemy priest as well as your foes to win a battle.
Notes
- In the Thirsty River mission, enemy teams of NPCs have Resurrection Shrines available. These shrines function as PvP shrines with priests.
- If you adventure with henchmen, and those henchmen do not have active resurrection skills, the timer for resurrection will begin when the last human player (or AI construct with a functional resurrection skill) dies. any henchmen or heroes alive at the end of the timer will be transported to the resurection.
- Animal companions are considered as allies, and function the same as henchmen without resurrection skills.
- Difficult quests can usually be completed even if the entire party dies. Note: Some quests have NPCs you have to protect. If they die, you will need to return to an outpost to reset the quest and try again.
- If your party is fighting or running its way to the next outpost, you may sometimes find that the death of the whole party may result in your resurrection closer to your destination outpost.
- In later stages of the Factions campaign, your party does not automatically activate nearby Resurrection Shrines if you are not allied to the Faction controlling them. You must either pay 50
to the NPCs at the Resurrection Shrine, or kill them. Dying in these areas forces your party to respawn at the previous outpost. - Shrine locations can be viewed by opening the Mission Map. Their locations are marked by a small circular image; running your mouse over the image will pop up a small text reading, "Resurrection Shrine". Some are boundaries have invisible resurrection shrines which can only be seen on the mission map. NOTE: They will appear on the map even if the shrine has not yet been activated.
