The Pantheon is a system of divine powers that players can activate to grant various defensive passive buffs, introduced in The Fall of Oriath expansion. These powers grant various defensive or utility bonuses and become available when players defeat certain gods in Acts 6 through 10.
There are twelve gods that each grant a power; four major gods and eight minor gods. A player can only have one major and one minor power activated at a time. The bonuses can be freely swapped with no extra cost, as long as the player is in a town or hideout.
Upgrading a god's power requires consuming a Divine VesselDivine VesselUnique Boss deals 10% increased Damage Unique Boss has 10% increased Attack and Cast Speed Unique Boss has 10% increased Life Unique Boss has 20% increased Area of EffectPower is a curious thing. It can be contained, hidden, locked away, and yet it always breaks free.Can be used in a personal Map Device, allowing you to capture the Soul of the Map's Boss. The Vessel containing the captured Soul can be retrieved from the Map Device. You must be in the Map when the boss is defeated. and a map with a boss that can upgrade a pantheon power. Once completed, activating a pantheon power will also activate all unlocked upgrade effects associated with that god's power.
Every major and minor god can be upgraded. All Major gods have 3 upgrades and Minor gods have 1 upgrade. This means, in total, you can get up to 4 simultaneous buffs from a Major god, and 2 simultaneous buffs from a Minor god.
Upgrades to the Pantheon are shared between all characters in the same league, but are disabled until the character has completed An End to Hunger (completing the campaign).
In order to upgrade a major or minor god power, players need to:
First look at the chart below to determine which map needs to be used, or check the Pantheon interface (keybind Y on PC) for the required boss and then search the Atlas interface to check which map contains the boss.
Acquire the map and add it into your map device at your hideout (It can be purchased from other players using the Trade Site)

Run the map and kill the boss (you can have other players help kill the boss, but you must be present in the map for the capturing to work).
Check your map device, you should have acquired the Captured Soul of a god (item that looks like a blue bottle).
Consume the Captured Soul to upgrade a God Power.
View your Pantheon and roll over the God you are trying to upgrade; the upgraded God Power should now be available.
There must be space in the map device for the Captured Soul or it will be deleted. This is typically not a problem unless the player adds more items to the map device's slots before completing the opened map.
Downgrading
To "downgrade" (remove) a Pantheon Power upgrade for a single character, follow the same procedure as upgrading; it acts as a toggle.
Dialogue with Sin promptly after killing the deities. (Not in town)
Ryslatha (Act 6)
The Azmeri believed that, one day, this world of ours would collapse under the weight of Ryslatha's offspring. A frightening thought, and thankfully, a mistaken one.
Whilst Capturing Ryslatha's Soul
Sin: Ryslatha!
Sin: Release this land to the will of its true children.
Shakari (Act 9)
A mother's keen heart shall bleed into the dreams of her daughter. Once a beauty who held captive the hearts of men and women alike, Shakari's splendour decayed into lust...for the power possessed by her skyborn mother.
My daughter once sought out such power within the great sands of this desert. Ever determined, she found it, and it made her the twisted creature you so mercifully dispatched.
Driven by agony and shame, she built an army out here in these sweltering lands and would have conquered the very sky had not the Beast soothed her into peaceful oblivion. A babe once more sleeping in her cradle.
Whilst Capturing Shakari's soul
Sin: Daughter!
Sin: Rest, my child. Be free from the torments of immortality.

Trivia
Shakari was originally planned to be added in the Fall of Oriath expansion alongside all the other gods, but was not implemented until the War for the Atlas expansion.
When upgrading a Pantheon Power with a Divine Vessel, the upgrade will now be applied for all of your characters in that League. Using a Divine Vessel when you already have the relevant Pantheon Power from a Map unlocked will toggle the upgrade for your character.
Many Pantheon Powers have been updated to better mitigate Ailments. Some Pantheon modifiers have been updated to be more of a choice with others.
