The Ancient Shrines (ナックルズ族の台座 Nakkuruzu-zoku no daiza?, lit. Knuckles Tribe pedestals) are a number of small shrine-like temples located in every stage in Sonic Adventure 2. They can unlock alternate paths in the different stages with the Mystic Melody.
Description
Edit
The Ancient Shrines' uses the same map textures from Lost World, an Action Stage from Sonic Adventure. They apparently originate from the Knuckles Clan civilization.
At first, the characters can only examine the shrines (only Knuckles seems familiar with them). However, upon obtaining the Mystic Melody upgrade, they can use the music created from it to activate these shrines, and they will create a path that will lead to either short cuts through the level, other upgrades, or lost Chao.
How these paths open depends on the level such as:
- Floating platforms appearing.
- Large doors opening.
- A portal opening above the shrine which can teleport the player.
- A line of rings for light dashing along.
- A spring appearing on top of or near the shrine.
