Shrines

Shrines are statues that the player can interact with to sacrifice something and receive a reward. A shrine room can be indicated before entering due to the presence of a green lantern by the door.

Notes

• Prior to the Supply Drop Update, the Dice Shrine's Limited effect decreased maximum ammo by 50% instead of 30%.
• Prior to v1.1.3, the Dice Shrine's Unsteady effect decreased reload time instead of increasing it.
• The Dice shrine can apply two opposite effects at the same time, such as Renewed and Pained, Paid and Robbed, Cleansed and Cursed, or Blanked and De-Blanked.
• The Blood shrine's blessing can carry over to a character's past.
• Using the Y.V. Shrine 27 times, for a total cost of 3780 , gives every shot its bonus. However, obtaining this much is difficult. It requires lots of curse, money items like Coin Crown, and as much Gold Junk as possible. Alternately, the infinite money exploit with Blobulin Farmer and Don't Blink in Challenge Mode can be used to obtain this much money.
• The Peace Shrine does not accept weapons with infinite ammo like Casey.
• During a blessed run, the Peace Shrine can be used infinitely as long as the player is not at full health and is not holding a gun that cannot be given.
• During a Rainbow Run, The Companion Shrine will not give you a companion, but still will take one of your heart containers.

Trivia

• The Blood shrine subtitle "Kaliber Mah Shakti De" is a reference to "Kali Ma Shakti De" which is spoken by Mola Ram of the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom before he sacrifices a victim by pulling out his heart, thus the loss of a heart container upon using the shrine.
• The Y.V. shrine refers to Y.V. (Yung Venuz) from Vlambeer's Gun Godz and Nuclear Throne games. Y.V.'s active ability in Nuclear Throne, called 'Pop Pop', allows him to fire a weapon twice (or 4 times when the ability is upgraded) with one pull of the trigger. Needing to sacrifice coins to the shrine for his blessing (and Y.V. being depicted standing on stacks of paper bills) refers to his love of money, of which he has a great deal.
  • In Nuclear Throne, Y.V. himself happens to be voiced by Enter the Gungeon's composer, doseone.
• The Hero shrine depicts the Lich with his head missing.
  • The Ammo shrine depicts the Lich in what appears to be his second form, which might be why the shrine's message on use is "Deal with the Devil".
• The Blank shrine depicts Old Red, who appears in-game as a random shopkeeper.
• The Companion shrine depicts the Super Space Turtle, Blank Companion's Ring, Baby Good Mimic, R2G2, Pig, Wolf, Dog, and Badge.
• Shell'tan is a reference to the villain Shai'tan in the Wheel of Time series, in addition to referring to the Muslim name for the Devil (Shayṭān).
• The pose being struck by the woman depicted in the Cleanse shrine is the term "Gun Fingers".
