Should I restore it?Find a Shrine HeartOpen travel map

ANSWER FIRST

Are destroyed Shrines worth restoring?

It depends on the route value and detour relative to your current timed priorities.

Restore it now

You are already nearby, want this travel point, and have a confirmed Heart route.

Leave it for later

A timed quest is urgent, the Heart is unresolved, or another travel point already covers the route.

Check the quest first

Open the Destroyed Shrine quest when its objective, condition, or side consequence matters.

ROUTE VALUE

When Is a Shrine Worth the Time?

Prioritise a Shrine when it is close to your current route, its Heart has a known location, and you expect to revisit the area. Leave it for later when the Heart location or time cost is unclear.

THE 30-DAY CLOCK

Shrines and the 30-Day Clock

Activation, restoration, Fast Travel, and waiting do not have one dependable time cost listed here. Read the in-game prompt before spending time.

HOW FAST TRAVEL WORKS

How Fast Travel Works

A Shrine must be usable, and your destination must be available. A marker on the map does not necessarily mean the Shrine is ready for Fast Travel.

Fast Travel Not Working?

  1. 1. Confirm the Shrine is usable rather than destroyed.
  2. 2. Interact with the origin and confirm the destination is available.
  3. 3. Check whether the current quest or world state blocks interaction.
  4. 4. Only then check version-specific known issues.

SHRINE HEART FINDER

Destroyed Shrines and their Hearts

“Exact pickup” opens a precise map pin. “Location unclear” means the Heart is known, but its dependable acquisition route is not.

DESTROYED SHRINE

Hidden & Safe

Source unknown

The required Heart has not been identified for this Shrine yet.

Open quest →

MISSING SOURCE

Find a Missing Shrine Heart

Use the finder above to show exact Heart pickups. When a location is unclear, open the matching quest for its current objective and clues instead of following a guessed pin.

RESTORATION TROUBLESHOOTER

Shrine Won't Restore?

Quest active?

Trigger and track the matching Destroyed Shrine quest.

Correct Heart?

A similarly named item is not automatically the required Heart.

Right objective step?

Finding the Heart does not mean the restore objective is active yet.

Day or Night?

Some Shrine objectives include a Night requirement.

Focus Mode?

Use Focus Mode when the objective asks you to follow a clue.

Still no prompt?

After completing these checks, review current known issues.

RESTORED STATE

What Does a Restored Shrine Do?

Available services may differ. Use the interaction options shown at that Shrine rather than assuming every restored Shrine offers Fast Travel, storage, healing, and waiting.

WAITING

How to Skip Time at a Shrine

Use the interaction prompt when a Shrine offers waiting. The exact clock effect is still unclear, and a restored icon alone does not guarantee the option.

ROUTE PRIORITY

Which Shrines Are Worth Prioritising?

Higher value when

The Shrine sits on a route you will revisit, its Heart source is exact, and no urgent timed objective competes for the detour.

Lower priority when

The Heart source is unresolved, another route already covers the area, or the prompt conflicts with a more urgent commitment.

DON’T MIX THESE ACTIVITIES

Shrines and Ancient Circles are different

Destroyed Shrines have their own restoration quests and Hearts. Ancient Circles are separate activities and do not count as Shrines.

CURRENT LIMITS

What Isn’t Known Yet

Many Shrine Heart locations, exact time costs, and a universal list of services for restored Shrines are still unclear.

FAQ

Shrine questions

Are destroyed Shrines worth restoring?

It depends on route value, the Heart detour, and whether a timed objective is more urgent. This guide does not assign a fake universal score.

Does restoring a Shrine use campaign time?

No single restoration cost is known for every Shrine. Check the in-game prompt before committing.

Does Fast Travel use campaign time?

A dependable campaign-time cost for Fast Travel is not known yet.

Where do I find Shrine Hearts?

Three Hearts have exact fixed-pickup pins. Other Heart locations are still unclear.

Why will a Shrine not restore?

Check the Destroyed Shrine quest, the correct Heart, the current objective stage, any Day or Night requirement, and Focus Mode clues before treating it as a bug.

Are Ancient Circles the same as Shrines?

No. They are separate player-facing activity families and are not merged on this page.
