How to Find and Completing All Shrines in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Select Language:

In Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, having a place to rest is crucial for both your character and your progress. Shrines often provide a break from the dangerous land filled with deadly traps and fierce enemies. Finding all of them ensures you’re prepared for each challenge.

However, not every shrine is a safe spot. It’s important to distinguish between genuine shrines and false ones. Finishing a dungeon and then triggering a possessed shrine can be frustrating. Luckily, we’ve discovered all the shrines so you won’t get caught off guard.

What Can I Do at Shrines?

Although the main purpose of shrines is to rest and heal, they offer many other benefits, some more important than others.

At any shrine, you can:

Enter Dreams: Rest and reset your location.
Tempering: Change the needles that apply temporary effects to your weapons.
Benedictions: Check and modify passive effects on your weapons.
Invoke: Exchange your sanity for rare items, which can increase Madness.
Warehouse: Store or retrieve items like DLC clothing.
Discipline: Swap out unique Discipline skills on your weapons learned from the Impetus Repository.
Impetus Repository: Level up and unlock new skills.
Teleport: Travel between locations, which also resets map areas.

Note: Resetting a location respawns enemies except minibosses, bosses, and Inner Demons. Only Enter Dreams and Teleport keep enemies from respawning, making them safe options for leveling or interacting with shrines.

All Shrine Locations

To earn the Radiant Faith achievement/trophy for discovering all 50 shrines and offering Blood at each, you need to find every shrine. Most are along the main path or after defeating bosses. Beware, some shrines are impostors; they appear as safe but will attack you.

Impostor shrines are marked with the tag “Interact” instead of “Offer Blood” and are vulnerable to fire damage. Defeat these impostors in combat before interacting with them.

Below is a list of shrine locations, and whether they require defeating a hostile impostor first:
