On this page we will see the Occult Ritual (Dark Rituel / ТЕМНЫЙ РИТУАЛ ) in Dungeon Crusher. I've seen many new players wonder why they lose their progress, it's because they don't read the spells before casting them!
Why did I lose my heroes and statistics?
It's because you just performed an Occult Ritual. (Dark Rituel / ТЕМНЫЙ РИТУАЛ ) , If you click on the Dark Ritual icon, it will automatically take you back to the beginning, BUT with blue souls as a bonus that will allow you to do more damage, buy soul artifactsto make donations for clan science.
What is the Occult Ritual?
Occult ritual is a game function that acts like a reset; heroes all return to level 0, but successes, magic bottles, currencies, equipped artifacts, Hearts, Emeralds, Hero Shards and craft equipment are unaffected.
When using the Occult Ritual, the player receives 1 Hero Soul for every 200 hero levels purchased. And you earn bonuses for every boss specter you have killed.
The Dark Ritual is unlocked from Brath the Merciless at hero level 125.

When should an Occult Ritual be performed?
There are different times, the best of which is when your quests require it and you need to mount certain champions. When you get stuck and need souls (you can do a light ritual if you don't want to go back to the beginning).
This can also be useful when you lose champions you need instead of paying to revive them.
The goal is to perform occult rituals later and later (unless you need to farm stuff quickly and use the reincarnation altar. We'll cover that in another tutorial).
Occult ritual bonuses.
You get bonuses with achievements when you perform occult rituals, you gain DPC (only for click damage, not DPS).
