Shrines found in Diablo I and Hellfire.

All shrines, goat shrines, cauldrons, and the murky pool can only be used once, by whichever player clicks them first. (Some shrines effect all players in the game, or all players other than the one who clicked it.)

Unlike in Shrines, several shrines in Diablo I and Hellfire will permanently damage your character, or other characters. It is very unwise to click a shrine if you do not know what it does. Expert players never click goat shrines or cauldrons, since their random effect can be deleterious.

No shrines or pools of any type are found in the Hive or Crypt, the dungeons added in Hellfire.

Springs and Pools

Blood Fountain
Murky Pool

Purifying Springs and Blood Fountains are the only shrines that can be used more than once. They can each be used endlessly, by all players in the game. (As if your mouse finger wasn't tired enough already?)

  • Purifying Spring: These refill one mana point per click. They are found on levels 1-8 and 13-16
  • Blood Fountain: These refill one health point per click. They are found on levels 1-8 and 13-16
  • Murky Pool: These grant Infravision, just as if your character had used a scroll of Infravision. One use only.
  • Fountain of Tears:These randomly grant +1 to one attribute and -1 to another. If the selected attribute is maxed out, the +1 is wasted.

Goat Shrines and Cauldrons

Goat Shrine

Goat Shrines and Cauldrons cause one shrine effect at random, selected from all shrines in the game. They do not ever create the effect of a spring or a pool. It is recommended that you not click any of these, since several shrine effects will permanently damage your character or other characters in the game.

  • Goat Shrines are found on levels 5-8, always in enclosed rooms and always surrounded by some type of goatmen.
  • Cauldrons are found randomly spotted around the levels of hell, levels 13-16. They can be useful objects to take cover behind, but be careful you do not click one accidentally while fighting beside it.

Diablo Shrines

The following shrines are found in Diablo and Hellfire. Shrines are only found dungeon levels 1-8. Eerie, Fascinating, Ornate, and Sacred shrines are the four that permanently damage your character by lowering their potential mana. Beware.

Hellfire Shrines

These shrines are found only in Hellfire. None of the Diablo shrines are removed; these are just added into the mix. None of the added Hellfire shrines have permanent detrimental effects, but Murphy's should be avoided and Mendicant's can be annoying to high level characters with a lot of gold in their inventory (The gold lost could take a long time to recover, while the experience gained can be had from just a few monsters, on hell difficulty.)

Shrine Effect Quote
Glowing +5 to Magic, -5% Experience "Knowledge is power"
Mendicant Takes half your gold and converts it to experience "Give and you shall receive"
Murphy's 1 in 3 chance of damage to an item, or takes away 1/3 of your gold "That which can break will"

  • Barbarian: +2 Vitality
  • Bard: +1 Dexterity, +1 Magic
  • Monk: +1 Strength and +1 Dexterity
  • Rogue: +1 Dexterity, +1 Magic
  • Sorcerer: +2 Magic
  • Warrior: +2 Strength

"That which does not kill you..."

Shimmering

Instant mana refill.

"Spiritual energy is restored"

Solar

The Solar shrine's effect is determined by the clock time on your computer when the game was created.

  • 12:00-17:59 (Noon - 6pm) = +2 Strength
  • 18:00-19:59 (6pm - 8pm) = +2 Magic
  • 20:00-3:59 (8pm - 4am) = +2 Vitality
  • 4:00-11:59 (4am-noon) = + Dexterity


  • "You feel stronger"
  • "You feel wiser"
  • "You feel refreshed"
  • "You feel more agile"

Player is hit by electrical charge, and gains 1000 experience per dungeon level (1000 on level 1, 2000 on level 2, etc.)

"Some experience is gained by touch"
