Diablo® III

Shrines

Purify shrines before battle.

Shrines are former sacred places, now desecrated. But, unlike many random surprises in the world, they’re always a welcome sight.

When you click on a desecrated shrine, it becomes purified, and you (and your allies) receive a temporary buff – an enhancement to your abilities – that persists for a short period of time. Each shrine you find will only provide its effects once, and you cannot receive multiple concurrent buffs from shrines of the same type.

Here are the shrines you’ll encounter, along with their benefits:

• Enlightened: You gain 25% increased experience from monster kills.
• Frenzied: Your attack speed increases by 25%.
• Blessed: You reduce all incoming damage by 25%.
• Fortune: You gain 25% increased magic and gold find rate.
• Empowered: You have 100% increased resource gain, and 50% reduced cooldown time.
• Fleeting: You gain 25% increased movement speed and increase your pickup radius by 20 yards.

Healing Wells

Healing wells restore your Life.

Healing wells, bright red vessels that look like pools of blood, can completely restore your Life (and the Life of your allies). Once it’s used, a healing well cannot quickly be used again, though it will refill in time.

Destructibles

If it stands in your way, break it.

A number of inanimate objects can be destroyed to your advantage. Furniture, bookshelves, and pots can be smashed; doors or gates that bar your way can be shattered; and rolling logs, falling chandeliers, and flimsy walls can be used against your enemies if you break them at the right time.

Chests

Plunder every chest you find.

Chests hold weapons, money, and other treasure. They come in diverse shapes and sizes, including unclaimed corpses, forgotten bags, tree stumps, and literal trunks of treasure. Click to open them up (or roll them over) and reap their riches.
