Haunted Sites: The Daylight Combat Mechanic

Synchronizing towers marks Haunted Sites on Coen’s parchment map as glowing white skulls. These sites represent tragic massacres or supernatural rifts:

                             ├──> Approach during DAYTIME (6 AM - 8 PM)

• Daylight Exclusivity: Haunted Sites can only be cleansed in human form during daytime. At night, the spectral entities disperse into the ether.
• Critical Rewards: Cleansing all 8 minor and 4 major Haunted Sites awards high-purity Refined Silver ingots required to upgrade weapons like the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai to +10.

Shrines & Sanzhani Chrysalis Rifts

Field shrines act as the anchor points of Coen’s survival:

1. Shrine Fast-Travel Rules

• Shrines must be manually discovered on foot before fast travel unlocks.
• Fast traveling between adjacent regions burns 2 hours; crossing the entire valley burns 4 hours.
• Resting at any shrine fast-forwards the clock by 12 hours to either dawn (6:00 AM) or dusk (6:00 PM).

2. The 4 Sanzhani Chrysalis Rifts

Hidden across the wilderness are four trans-dimensional rifts left by ancient moth chronomancers. Activating Coen’s Vrakhir spirit sight reveals them:

• Communing with a Chrysalis allows Coen to invoke Temporal Respite, rolling back the 30-day countdown clock by +48 hours (maximum twice per campaign).
• For complete coordinate breakdowns, read our Sanzhani Chrysalis Rift Walkthrough.
