Hideout Showcase - PoE 2 Hideout Showcase: Cozy Blood Cult Village - Forum

I really like cozy hideouts and spent way too many hours building this peaceful little forest village and then made the terrible decision to buy the Pulveriser Map Device because I’d really like to have those cool monster kill counters.

So the whole idea became:
“How do I fit this giant blood ritual machine into a cozy village without it looking completely out of place?”

The RNG blessed me with the blood portal from a free Mystery Box and then there was the Atziri blood fountain Twitch drop, so obviously the villagers had to become a secret murder cult.

My own Lore (without knowing much about PoE Lore):
The people of the village found an ancient device deep in the forest. Ever since Doryani returned, the thing started working again. Now the weirdos behind the village keep sacrificing people to it every night while everyone else pretends not to notice because business is still good and it’s not their problem anyway.

Even though I used pretty much the entire hideout space, I made sure that all the important endgame stuff like the stashs, map device, shop and waypoint are still close together so you don’t have to run around forever.

Hope you like my cozy blood cult village. I’m really looking forward to your feedback and can’t wait for 0.5 to finally arive!
