Rituals
Rituals are magical events you perform inside a marked ritual area, usually with the Astral Communion hex. They unlock lore, clear haunted places and open trials, so they are worth learning early.

Good to know
- Some rituals play an Astral Vision scene.
- Astral Communion is a Witchcraft hex, so you have to unlock it before any ritual will work.
- It only works in human form, which means daytime. If the altar does nothing, wait for morning.
- Each Astral Communion costs one time segment.
- Ancient Circle trials cannot be cancelled once they start, so heal and restock first.
How it works
Step into the ritual area, sweep it with Focus Mode for anything you need, then use the central object to cast Astral Communion. Some quests ask you to light several pillars in turn. Others have you read a phrase or exorcise a body.
Where you meet them
Haunted Sites, Ancient Circles and quests such as The Price of Magic and The Bittersweet Toast all lean on rituals. Some spawn hostile spirits as soon as the ritual begins.
Tips
Arriving at night wastes a trip, since Coen cannot cast hexes as a vampire. If a ritual stalls, look for a spirit or spectre you have not killed yet. After a trial, check for a second hidden cache with Focus Mode.
