Apex of Ascension is the tier 3 incursion room of Ahuana, Architect of Ceremonies.


The room contains an Altar of Sacrifice which provides the player with one of two different functions:
- Sacrifice a unique equipment (which means excluding Jewels, contracts, Maps and Flasks) for another random unique equipment of the same item class
- Upgrades specific unique items found exclusively in the Temple of Atzoatl when sacrificed alongside a Vial. This produces a new item: a corrupted sacrifice will not produce a corrupted upgrade, and rolls within similar stat ranges are not preserved.
The altar may only be used once per temple.
