Rituals

Perform Rituals in the Temple. These usually raise Faith or help you solve problems in the Cult. Rituals are performed using the Bones of your fallen enemies. After slaying a non-believer, desecrate their bodies to gather their bones, and use them to perform dark rituals at your Temple.

Note that virtually all of the rituals require proclaiming the corresponding Doctrines, and most are mutually exclusive, meaning you'll eventually have a dozen - and only dozen - rituals to work with. However, at the Post game, its possible to obtain the ritual doctrines missed out from the Mystic Seller with God Tear with a chance of obtaining Forgotten Commandment Stone.

Mutually exclusive Rituals runs in consecutive between each others if both have been unlocked through Forgotten Commandment Stone, once one of the two Rituals has been done, meaning they both goes under cooldown.
