Useful on Keep of the Lead Lord[]
If you've already killed the past of the hero you're playing, and get cursed bullets in Keep of the Lead Lord (first floor), I find that it can be extremely beneficial to take a visit to the Hero Shrine. Due to how the hero shrine raises your curse to 9, not add 9 curse, you should get max potential damage up without summoning the Lord of the Jammed. 68.109.12.78
