Funeral

This is the only ritual involving the (possible) non-player caused death. It is generally considered the worst ritual, as it requires the death of a pawn - an expensive cost when other rituals are available with the same effects.

Dance party

This is tied with "drum party" for the most "success bonuses" and shortest cooldown.

Gladiator duel

This ritual always has 100% quality if one of the fighters dies. There are a number of ways to maximize the chances of that happening:

• Give the fighters go-juice or yayo. Getting downed by pain shock will end the ritual with a lower score. This is only available on slaves.
• Place a single melee weapon in the ring. One of the duelists will have an advantage and there will be a +20% Weapon used quality bonus even if nobody dies.
• Choose one fighter with a high and the other with a low Melee skill to give the first one an advantage.
• Remove one of the weaker fighter's hands. Do not remove both as pawns with 0% Manipulation cannot participate in the ritual.

Strip both gladiators before battle to prevent any clothes becoming tainted when they die.
