The Desecrated Shrine

## Quick Summary

The Desecrated is a possible 1st quest destination. It Occurs three days after choosing to travel to:

* *"A **SHRINE** which is rumored to have been defiled by the highest ranking priest in the realm himself."*

The Desecrated Shrine is one of the most desirable paths in the game as it offers a powerful weapon and fairly weak monsters that have the potential to be bypassed completely. There are two possible fights against Troglodytes, before encountering the boss, the Blood Bishop. All enemies are weak to rot, but resist blood. Upon defeat, the Blood Bishop drops Blessed Pernach and gives the player 50 HP, and two random consumables.

## Glitch Fight

The introduction of Chapter 4 brought with it a new version of the Blood Bishop, known as the Glitched Blood Bishop. For the most part, the Glitched version still has the same Weaknesses and Resistances. The only difference is that the boss model looks different. Should you feel confident enough in your character's equipment, you can Challenge the Glitched Blood Bishop.

Glitched Challenge Mode rewards a special Glitched Blood Bishop Trophy, which is much stronger than it's non-glitched counterpart. The Glitched Trophy does 10% Healing (assumed)

## Strategy

- One of the best ways to deal with Shrine is to make sure you have rot damage either in the form of the Rot Shiv, Rotting Bdog, or Consumables.

- Shrine is the better choice when playing Templar, when you have the Inflamed Hatchet blessing, or are doing Chapter 2 and need a main hand weapon.
