Shrines are Objects that were introduced as part of the Octavo's OdeDownloadable Content update. Shrines appear within randomly-generated Dungeons in Story Mode and Dungeon Mode. They can be activated once by bumping into them. When activated, the shrine may drop items and/or produce an effect that persists until the character leaves the dungeon or falls in battle, or the Boss is defeated.[2] Shrines may also be destroyed using a Bomb, Bombchu, Bomb Fairy or Red Puffstool. When destroyed, most shrines will drop an item depending on their type.
Shrines originally appeared in Crypt of the NecroDancer, wherein they function similarly.
↑ 2.02.1Hey, look! A shrine! Shrines are useful, but they often have a tricky side effect that you may not like. Bump into it if you want to take a chance and activate the shrine! Shrine effects stay active until you leave the dungeon, defeat the dungeon boss, or are defeated. — Trill (Cadence of Hyrule)
