Throughout your run in Megabonk, you’ll come across various shrines scattered around the map. However, for newcomers, it might not always be clear what each shrine does. Some provide buffs and rewards, while others increase the challenge or summon a boss to fight.
Knowing which shrines are worth activating early on is crucial. During your initial runs, it’s best to focus on shrines that simply give buffs or items. These include:
- Charge Shrines
- Moai Shrine
- Microwave
- Bandit Shrine
Shrines are placed randomly on the map. To unlock one, you either need to interact directly with it or stand close enough to charge it. Once unlocked, they offer different effects—either granting benefits like power-ups, items, buffs, or summoning bosses, or even imposing a debuff.
New players should avoid certain shrines like Challenge Shrines, Boss Curse, Greed Shrines, and Suspicious Bush, especially if they want to avoid extra enemies or negative effects.
Types of Shrines and How to Use Them
| Shrine | How to Use | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Charge Shrine | Stand within its radius to charge. Once it’s full, choose an upgrade. | Gives random buffs such as increased damage, speed, or health. |
| Golden Charge Shrine | Same as regular Charge Shrine. | Offers legendary-level stat boosts. |
| Challenge Shrine | Interact to accept a fight with nearby enemies. | Defeating enemies drops a free chest. |
| Shrine of Succ | Interact to activate. | Pulls XP coins toward you, similar to a magnet. |
| Boss Curse | Activate to summon an additional boss to fight. | Adds a boss that will attack you; defeating it yields a reward. |
| Moai Shrine | Interact to receive a reward. | Offers a choice of power-ups. |
| Greed Shrine | Activate by interacting with the small skull. | Increases gold gained but boosts difficulty by 5%. |
| Microwave | Interact to receive a reward. | Duplicates the item you choose. |
| Suspicious Bush | Interact to gamble for a chance at a reward. | Possible rewards include powerful perks or debuffs. |
| Bandit Statue | Interact to activate. | Unlocks the Bandit character or gains a random reward. |
Note: For beginners, it’s wise to steer clear of shrines that add tough enemies or negative effects unless you’re prepared for the challenge.
