Monstrous Shrine was the first Perk that was reworked into a Scourge Hook Perk.
At the time of its rework, Monstrous Shrine had been the longest unchanged Perk in Dead by Daylight's history, having been in the Game since its original release in 2016 and not having received a single change in over 6 years, an achievement it shared with Lightweight.
Before its rework, it was the only Unlockable in the game to add a negative modifier to Luck.

When using the Monstrous Shrine, in addition to four random Hooks in the environment, the four Basement Hooks will also be converted into Scourge Hooks, creating a total of 8 Scourge Hooks.
- These converted Basement Scourge Hooks will trigger the effects of all Scourge Hook Perks, not just those of Monstrous Shrine.
