The ancient ruins of the Aladiss Continent are endless, and you can spend hours in Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist Of Memories & The Envisioned Land by simply exploring them and uncovering their hidden secrets. Some of them can be powerful enough to even enhance your modern abilities, if you’re up to their challenges.

Here’s everything you need to know about Cooking and obtaining Recipes in Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist Of The End & The Secret Key!
The Shrines of Prayer are a great example of that, being one of the most common ruins you can find. They are usually guarded by some fierce monsters roaming around, but if you sneak past them and solve the puzzles, you’ll be well rewarded for your efforts.
What Are Shrines Of Prayer?
A Shrine of Prayer is one of the many structures you can find during exploration. At first glance, they are inactive and only have a small altar. Interacting with this altar starts a small quest to restore it to functionality. During this quest, you must complete small puzzles in the surrounding area to activate the Shrine again.
The quest features a red line guiding you to the puzzles, but you have to solve them on your own. There are always two or more puzzles to complete. Once they’re done, the Shrine is permanently activated, and you get Energy Prisms as rewards.
Energy Prisms can be used on the Shrine itself to upgrade your Energy Core, giving it new effects or increasing its maximum limit; each region is filled with Shrines, and you’ll come across them very often. Interacting with them and completing their puzzles will be crucial to making your exploration smoother.
Shrines of Prayer have no Fast Travel function to them, but you’ll often find other structures to which you can Travel nearby. Make sure to unlock them beforehand.
Activating Shrines Of Prayer
When first interacting with a Shrine, you automatically get a new quest to make them work again. Follow the red lines to find out what’s stopping the Shrine from working properly, which are always some problems with nearby structures.
Reach for one of the structures to continue the small quest, where you’ll have to either solve an energy puzzle or shoot a button to get it working again. Keep your eyes open, as it’s not uncommon to find more treasures on your way.
Most Shrines of Prayers have two structures to activate, but it’s possible to find Shrines with only one or even three (or more) structures to solve. Puzzles get more complicated as you advance with your exploration. The red lines persist until you fix all the structures. After completing all of them, the lines turn blue, and you can return to the main Shrine.
Successfully reactivating a Shrine of Prayer rewards you with some Energy Prisms. You can get from two to five Prisms at once, depending on the Shrine.
Interacting with it again opens up the Energy Upgrade menu, where you can use those Prisms to enhance your Energy Core. You can do this in any active Shrine in the game, and all of them will have the same Prism costs. Energy Prisms are also used to upgrade your Skill Tree, but they’ll only be needed for more advanced upgrades.
Energy Upgrades
The Shrines can upgrade your Energy Core with new functions such as reducing energy consumed when jumping, increasing maximum capacity, and much more. Certain upgrades can only be attained once you reach a certain point in the game.
Each upgrade costs you Energy Prisms, so you’ll need to unlock as many Shrines of Prayer as possible to get materials to enhance your energy uses. You start at Level One and can upgrade them multiple times, giving you new effects depending on which Enhancement you choose.
Finding the small Energy Temples around the map gives you Energy Fragments. Every ten Fragments you get become one Core. The number of fragments obtained from each Temple is also random.
