When Does Kingdom Come: Deliverance Take Place?
Ever wonder exactly when and where Kingdom Come Deliverance takes place? Here’s what you want to know.
Therefore, it’s understandable that you’d be confused by what shrines do in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Are they there to confuse you? Are you missing what you need to do to interact with them? Well, it’s a mix of both and you need to progress through the game to fully understand what they do.
What Shrines Do
At the start of the game, the shrines you’ll find around both the Trosky and Kuttenberg regions won’t do anything at all.
You can walk up to them and they’ll be added to your map as small waypoint icons, but you won’t be able to interact with them in any way. However, why would the game add them to your map if they didn’t do anything? Eventually, you can do something that makes shrines more useful.
How To Pray At Shrines
In the Scholarship section of the skills tab in the Player menu, you’ll see the Fundamentals of Theology skill. The description of it reads: “you will be able to pray at shrines, crosses, and similar places. If you do so, you will receive a buff that can protect you from mortal injury in combat and restore 25 percent of your health. The effect lasts for 12 game hours or until you use it.”
Before unlocking Fundamentals of Theology, you need to have unlocked Liberal Arts. You also need to have unlocked Fundamentals of Theology before you unlock the Fundamentals of Theology II skill.
Therefore, you will be able to use shrines to give you a health boost once you have the skill unlocked. They’re helpful to use before you head into tricky combat encounters, or before key parts of the story that involve large scale battles. You should use shrines whenever you get the chance once you have the Fundamentals of Theology skill unlocked.
If you don’t unlock the Fundamentals of Theology skill, shrines will continue to do nothing at all.
