Legendary Shrine (no ontology)
From Mazeworld
The Legendary Shrine is a hidden location within Mazeworld that the contestant can access only if they have completed certain objectives.
Prerequisites
Attempting the Normal missions
- 4 missions completed
- Mission 5 completed, OR in progress, but must not have been failed.
- Entering the room after accepting/completing Mission 5 (on a first-time run, this is the 169th room visited)
Attempting the Alternate missions
- 5 missions completed
- Entering the room after completing Mission A5 (on a first-time run, this is the 169th room visited)
As soon as the contestant completes those prerequisites, the GMs will interrupt him/her. The Game Masters are seeing potential in the contestant, and decided that for coming this far, it must be because he/she is a "valuable person that deserves to be helped in victory."
If, at the required room, the contestant has not completed all the prerequisites, the GM will comment on this, explaining that the contestant "is missing out on a lot of things", indicating that this event has been locked forever.
The GM will ask the following question: Did you help out the person you met?/Are you out to help the person you met?" depending on if the contestant finished or is still running Mission 5 or A5. Regardless of the question, if the contestant says…
- Yes: The contestant will enter the shrine.
- No: The GMs will not allow entrance to the shrine and the contestant will resume his/her exploration.
The shrine
If those objectives have been completed and the contestant said yes, the GMs will immediately teleport the contestant in a special room in which a shrine maiden is present, next to an altar.
The shrine maiden will ask the contestant to approach and touch the altar, then to cease moving, so the shrine maiden herself touches one of the contestant's arms, then his/her forehead.
The shrine maiden will then summon three creatures: A legendary swordswoman, a legendary immortal, and a legendary maid.
The swordsman will draw the Sword of Muramasa, the immortal will show the Erupting Burning Gloves, and the maid will present the Stabagain.
The shrine maiden explains that one of those weapons is for the contestant, but they are the ones who decide if they're fit for him/her. As such, the shrine maiden must determinate which of the weapons is most connected with the contestant's soul… She will ask a series of questions that will determinate which weapon will be the most attracted to the contestant.
NOTE: It is possible that there is a tie in attractions. As such, the shrine maiden will ask the contestant which one he/she wants the most.

The results
The shrine maiden will recount the answers and determinate which weapon is most suited to the contestant. If she determinates there is a tie and two, or all three weapons are equally attracted to the contestant, he/she will be allowed to choose between the tied weapons.
For balance reasons, the wiki will not give what answers give more attraction to what weapon.
