Siren Shrines: Underwater Sanctuaries

• Mechanics: Inside, you'll need to solve environmental puzzles, often involving activating ancient mechanisms, collecting specific items, or navigating through currents.
• Guardians: While not as combat-heavy as Treasuries, Shrines are guarded by Sirens and Ocean Crawlers.
• Loot: The primary reward for completing a Shrine is the 'Blessing of the Siren,' which provides a temporary buff, and a significant amount of loot, including Siren Gems and potentially valuable chests.
• Replayability: The puzzles within Shrines can change, offering a fresh challenge each time.

Siren Treasuries: Combat-Focused Dungeons

Siren Treasuries are more combat-oriented underwater encounters. They are designed as challenging dungeons where you'll face waves of enemies and a formidable boss.

• Entry: Treasuries are also marked by glowing coral formations, often found near shipwrecks or other underwater points of interest.
• Mechanics: The core of a Treasury is its combat encounters. You'll fight through various chambers filled with Sirens and Ocean Crawlers.
• Boss Fight: At the end of each Treasury, you'll face a powerful boss, often a particularly dangerous Siren or a unique spectral entity.
