Shrine of the Mountain

The Shrine of the Mountain is one of the Shrines in Risk of Rain 2. Upon activation, the difficulty of the Teleporter Event will be increased by spawning additional bosses, turning bosses into Elites, and/or spawning more difficult bosses. Upon defeating all the bosses, the players will be rewarded with an additional copy of each item dropped by the Teleporter.

Activating multiple Shrines of the Mountain will increase the boss difficulty even further but will also reward the players with even more items. The number of items dropped by the Teleporter is equal to number of players ⋅ (1 + number of activated shrines).

All the items rewarded are the same. However, if a boss can drop boss items, the random chance to replace a reward with a boss item is rolled for each extra item dropped as well. This makes tackling the challenge of the Mountain an excellent way to obtain boss items.

Notes

• Technically speaking, the Shrine of the Mountain gives the Teleporter Boss director 100% more credits per activation. This is why a Teleporter Boss consisting of multiple bosses may be replaced with a few Elites or even higher-tier bosses, since the director can now afford those more expensive options.
  • For instance, if the director originally only had exactly enough credits to spawn one Imp OverlordImp Overlord
    Lord of the Red PlaneHP: 2800 (+840 per level)
    Damage: 16 (+3.2 per level)
    Class: Melee / Ranged
    Speed: 13 m/s
    Armor: 20 (800 credits), but the player has activated 5 Shrines of the Mountain (giving the director a total of 4800 credits), it might spawn a single Overloading WormOverloading Worm
    The ReminderHP: 12000 (+3600 per level)
    Damage: 50 (+10 per level)
    Class: Melee
    Speed: 20 m/s
    Armor: 15 as the Teleporter Boss instead of 6 Imp Overlords, or it might spawn a single tier 1 Elite Imp Overlord instead.
