Quick answer

A Sacrifice Totem provides two volcano charges. Find it in Hot Chests in the Volcanic Biome; not every chest contains one. If you find one before reaching the volcano, save it for that offering.

Requirements

You need access to the Volcanic Biome, its volcano and a totem. Prepare equipment for the area's enemies: finding a chest does not mean the route is clear.

Steps

1. Explore the Volcanic Biome and open Hot Chests. Do not rely on a fixed coordinate: their locations vary.
2. Pick up the totem and keep it until you reach the volcano.
3. Clear cultists blocking safe access to the sacrifice area.
4. Throw the totem into the volcano's sacrificial pit and watch the charge indicator.

Its advantage is contributing two charges with one item. Editorial recommendation: check the indicator before and after the offering to keep track of progress.

Mistakes and success check

Do not throw it into an arbitrary lava pool or leave it as camp decoration. The useful offering happens at the volcano; the item is consumed when used.

Success: the volcano's indicator advances after the offering. Do not expect one isolated totem to immediately produce a specific weapon: it adds progress, not a chosen reward.

Checklist: Hot Chest → collect → save → reach volcano → offer → check charge.
