The world of Hyboria is a dark and brutal place – also in the upcoming survival RPG Conan Exiles. Religion can help you in the game – or not.
When creating your character, you decide whether to follow one of the gods Crom, Mitra, Yog, or Set. However, Crom, who reigns from his mountain, is not interested in the prayers of his followers, which makes him suitable only for those to whom the religion system of the game doesn’t matter. But those who choose Mitra, Yog, or Set can worship these gods and gain their favor.
Give hearts to your god
Depending on which god you have chosen, you must do different things to attract his attention.
Followers of Set must cut out the hearts of their enemies and bring them to the altar.
The god Yog, on the other hand, requires you to roast your opponents in a Yog pit.
If you cleanse the bodies of fallen enemies with the Mitra cross and bring the essence of their souls to an altar of the god, you will gain his favor.
You must build altars for your god, which you can upgrade in three stages. However, you must also go through the different ranks of the priesthood. Each level brings you new recipes, such as religious weapons or particularly effective food.
The last level requires much goodwill from the god, which is easiest to achieve in a clan when everyone helps. In a clan, you can also worship multiple gods and build different altars accordingly. This grants the clan the favor of different gods.
Summon and guide the avatar of your god
If you have a level 3 altar and a bonded high priest, it is possible to summon an avatar of the god for a short time. This avatar then appears in physical form and clears out your enemies for you. The avatar acts through you.
This means you are incapacitated and vulnerable during the summoning but can control the avatar yourself. However, if you are killed, he will disappear immediately. So you need to protect yourself well. As a mighty avatar of your god, you see the world from a different perspective and trample your enemies and their fortresses.
You can experience how this all plays out starting January 31. For on this day, the early access phase of Conan Exiles begins.
