Ritual of Initiation

Part 1: The Opening Ceremony The opening ceremony takes place at a common altar, and involves the following steps:

  1. Aspirant #1 places a Small Diamond on the altars' left pillar.
  2. Aspirant #2 places a piece of Twine on the altars' right pillar.
  3. Aspirant #1 meditates on the altar.

You can, and should, take the items back immediately now. They do not have to stay during the test.

Note: This is the statue's left/right, not necessarily yours. If the statue is facing the camera, reverse the instructions (or move the camera).

From this point forward, you must move rapidly! The entire ceremony, from start to finish, can take no more than 25 minutes. If you run out of time, the gods will forget about you, and you will have to start over.

Pleasing the Gods

You can please the gods in any order. For each god, one of the two players must perform some action, then the other must recite a phrase into Main. The action must precede the phrase, or the phrase won't count. The same players do not need to consistently be the actor and the speaker throughout the initiation.

To avoid typing errors, copy the words you need to recite off this wiki, without the quotes, and paste them into the Main channel. If you do mistype something, it will not ruin the test. Just try again.

When an action or a spoken phrase has been correctly performed, both players will receive a popup dialog box confirming it. So the player who will recite the phrase should wait until they get the dialog box for the action being completed.

Horus

Bow down to his lordship (using the "Bless" emote—the "Bow" emote won't work), then recite, "Praise Horus, King of Egypt!".

You do not need to find a statue of Horus, just do the bless emote anywhere you want and it will count. I suggest doing it right at the altar.

Isis

Plant Flax, then recite, "Praise Isis, whose seed is forever fertile!"

You do not need to wait for the flax to grow. Once the seed goes into the ground, the goddess is pleased.

Osiris

Give him the gift of a Beetle by dropping it into a Mine, then recite, "Praise Osiris, who was Reborn like the Scarab!"

The gender, species, and ownership of the beetle don't matter. Drop whichever type you have most of, or acquire one from an experienced player who will have hundreds to spare from beetle breeding. The option to drop a beetle appears on all mine menus once you complete the opening ceremony, even mines that you don't own and don't have permission to work.

Thoth (1905, -4139)

Tech from a school or university, then recite, "Praise Thoth, the Magician who created Science!"

This is probably the hardest god for older players to please! Make sure you have enough resources to learn a skill if you are going to learn from a school. Learning another level on a multilevel skill (like Project Management) counts. Learning a tech from another player does not.

It is best to leave the Thoth offering until the end in case you make a mistake on something else you still have your skill to learn available to you -- Cynic (Note: this is an imported comment from T4. Cynic no longer plays.)

Ra

Light a Ritual Torch deep in the desert, with sand as far as the eye can see. Then recite, "Praise Ra, of the Blazing Eye!"

Location is key here. Use the F6 camera zoomed all the way out. Spin it entirely around. If the only ground texture you can see is sand, the spot should be good. The torch takes 1 oil to light, and 1 board, 1 canvas, and Ritual Item Construction 1 to build. Once lit, it burns for about 15 minutes, then disappears.

NOTE: Ritual Item Construction (1) is required to build a Ritual Torch. This can be the skill learned during the ceremony (for Thoth). Alternatively, a third player may build the torch and give the aspirants permission to use it.

Bastet (1977, -4162)

Drop a deben of Cow Milk on the ground, in a grassy area at the edge of a body of water, then recite, "Praise Bastet, who teaches elegance and grace!" (changed for T10)

The entire body of water does not need to be surrounded by grass, only the part the milk sits on. Make sure the grass is touching the water.

Amun

Eat a Grilled Fish, then recite, "Praise Amun, who gives us reason to celebrate!"

Closing Ceremony

When all seven gods have been pleased, both aspirants must go once more to an altar. It does not need to be the same one used for the opening ceremony. Once they are both there, perform this ceremony:

  1. Aspirant #1 places a piece of Twine on the left pillar.
  2. Aspirant #2 places a Jugs of Water on the right pillar.
  3. Aspirant #1 meditates on the altar.

NOTE: Aspirant #1 DOES have to be the same player that was aspirant #1 in the opening.

As before, items may be removed from the altar immediately after this ceremony.

Grilled Fish and Veggie Stats

Base Food Stat Bonus
Grilled Fish (any type) +1 Endurance
Grilled Onions +2 Endurance
Grilled Cabbage +2 Speed
Grilled Carrots +2 Perception
Grilled Garlic +2 Focus
Grilled Peppers +1 Strength, +1 Dexterity
Grilled Cucumbers +2 Strength
Grilled Eggplant +2 Dexterity
Grilled Watermelons +2 Constitution

10 minute timer on each.


A grilled vegetable does not stack with another type (i.e. eating a grilled onion and then eating a grilled cabbage will give you +2 speed, NOT +2 endurance and +2 speed). Also, eating two vegetables of the same type does not stack (i.e. eating 2 grilled onions gives +2 endurance, NOT +4 endurance).

Remember that you must fillet a fish before the meat can be grilled.

Leeks are not grilled. They are burned directly in the firepit to produce ash.
