General Info

There are 4 Altars that can be found in the world, with one in each Biome. Each Altar is accompanied by a Hivemother Gate within a sort of shrine-like structure. Each of the Altars spawns with a specific Idol based on the biome of the Altar (i.e. the Forest Idol in the Altar found in the Forest.

To use an Altar the player must put 3 Blessed bees in the Messenger slots along with one of the Idols. These 3 bees will then be "used up", flying out of the Altar to send your prayer to the Hivemother. Based on the Idol used different effects will occur.
