Monster totem

Monster Totems are a feature designed to make the Corrupted Shrine mechanic a repeatable experience.

Similar to Corrupted Shrines, Totems can be activated by the player to spawn a wave of enemies. When all monsters have been defeated, the Totem will collapse and explode with loot, and grant Experience points (2500/10000/15000). Unlike Corrupted Shrines, however, the Totems will not grant Devotion Points.

Totems can spawn in most areas of Grim Dawn, with locations partially randomized - they will typically spawn in one of three possible places within an area.

Totem Types[]

There are six different types of Monster Totems, corresponding to the type of creature they spawn.

Totem type Monster Type
1 Aetherwarped Totem Aetherials
2 Celestial Totem Celestial
3 Eldritch Totem Eldritch
4 Savage Totem Beasts
5 Spirit Totem Undead
6 Voidtouched Totem Chthonian

Loot[]

Totems will reward the player with numerous rare items, and have a chance to drop Item blueprints, including those for Rune Augments.

There are also eleven level 94 Legendary items obtainable primarily through totems. These weapons also have a rare chance to drop from any source, but are more likely to appear from Monster Totems. Each item will drop from a particular totem type.

Totem Locations[]

Every totem spawn location is assigned to a group. Per group one totem will spawn per game session. Groups are subdivided when there are several types of totems in a group, which doesn't affect spawning. To figure out which spawn location is associated to which group use tools like grimtools.
