Ritual Sacrifice is a skill granted by the Ritualist ascendancy notable As the Whispers Demand. It allows you to sacrifice a Rare monster's corpse to gain its monster modifiers for a duration. Alternatively, it can be used on yourself by sacrificing a portion of your life, gaining one random monster modifier for a duration.

Skill functions and interactions

• The user must be directly on top of a monster corpse to sacrifice it. The animation for sacrificing a corpse lasts approximately 4 seconds. All of the monster's monster modifier affixes will be stolen. Sacrificing another corpse will replace existing modifiers.
• If sacrificing the character's life instead, it will only grant one random monster modifier. Using the skill again will replace the existing modifier.

Monster modifiers from Ritual Sacrifice do not stack with identical modifiers from HeadhunterHeadhunter

The head is where the Man is."
