Quick Links
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalonfeatures a wide variety of shrines scattered across its open world. Some offer temporary buffs, others bestow permanent blessings, and a few serve as trials to test your strength. Among them, one of the most engaging is the Stagfather Shrines.
Each region contains three of these shrines, which task players with hunting spectral Wyrddeer in timed trials. Completing them grants rare crafting materials and exclusive recipes. These are one-time events, so be ready, as Wyrddeer will flee if not killed quickly. Use your King’s Power and slowing spells to control the chase, and rely on strong ranged or melee attacks to bring them down fast.
