How to Perform the Sacrifice

Your Priest must ward five runes to complete the Sacrifice. If he is rendered immobile during the Sacrifice the Spell will be broken and the enemy Priest will escape. Likewise, if the Altar takes too much damage the enemy Priest will also escape.

When the Sacrifice is complete you will be granted your gift: New Knowledge or an Upgraded Altar, as appropriate. When new Knowledge is granted the Altar is consumed. You will need to build a new one to Sacrifice again.

If you opt for an Upgraded Altar but do not have the chance to use it in this battle, have no fear: this Upgraded Altar will remain on your home island for use in your next on-line encounter. Note that you will only be able to Upgrade an Altar on your home island, because it is the only island that will persist from battle to battle.

Note that when you Sacrifice for Knowledge, it becomes instantly available to you, ready to be put into production by the proper Workshop. Press F6 to Review your new Knowledge.

If you gain this Knowledge in Multiplayer mode, it is yours permanently, and will be available in future multiplayer battles. But in future battles, it will not appear instantly in your Production Window: you will need to put this Knowledge into production in a Workshop in order to make it available.
