Ancient Gods


Did we miss anything in this location? Is there something we didn't discover? Let us know!


 
 
While traveling around Arcanum, you’ll no doubt find several altars to the ancient gods of the world. If you talk to Aldous T. Buxington at the university in Tarant, he’ll give you some clues about what the altars can do. In particular, he’ll give you a book describing the gods and what you should offer them, and he’ll have a painting called “Mazzerin’s Mystery” hanging on his wall. The painting (shown above) gives you the relationships between the gods.

If you just go to an altar and give the correct offering, you’ll get a blessing. The trick is to give the offerings in the correct order so you can accumulate blessings and eventually gain Velorien’s (the All-Father’s) blessing.

There are three circles of gods. When you give an offering to the greater god at the end of a circle, you’ll lose all the other blessings from that circle. And when you gain the blessing from Velorien, you’ll lose the blessings from the greater gods. However, you don’t have to continue making offerings if you don’t want to. If you prefer the blessing you have to the one you would gain, then there’s no reason to continue.

Here are the gods you need to donate to, in the order you need to make the donations:
