Jujutsu Zero Shrine Domain Guide (March 2026) Malevolent Shrine Domain Expansion
Tired of watching other players shred bosses with massive slashing auras while you’re stuck using basic techniques? I get it. Update 1.5 (Beta) just dropped, and everyone’s scrambling for the new Malevolent Shrine Domain Expansion. But here’s the problem: the game doesn’t exactly hold your hand.
After spending dozens of hours testing every method and running the numbers, I’ve created the most comprehensive guide available. In this article, I’ll show you exactly how to unlock the Shrine Domain efficiently—skipping the fluff and getting you straight to the power.
Quick Overview: Shrine Domain at a Glance
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Release | Update 1.5 (Beta) |
| Requirement | Shrine Cursed Technique |
| Total Cost | 9 Cursed Flesh, 3 Cursed Fingers, 1 Domain Fragment, 100k Yen |
| Time to Unlock | 1-2 hours (with optimal strategy) |
| Best For | PvE content, raids, boss farming |
| Difficulty | Medium-High (grindy materials) |
What is the Shrine Domain Update?
Before diving into the grind, you need to understand what you’re chasing. Update 1.5 brings massive improvements for Shrine Cursed Technique (CT) users, with the star being the Malevolent Shrine Domain Expansion.
This isn’t just a visual upgrade—it’s a complete game-changer for PvE content. When you activate this domain, you unleash massive area-of-effect (AoE) slashing attacks that lock enemies down and shred their health bars with relentless cursed energy blades.
Key Features of Update 1.5:
- New Domain: Malevolent Shrine (exclusively for Shrine CT users)
- New Mini-Boss: Cursed Remnant (drops critical materials)
- Calamity Mode: New raids with exclusive loot and higher difficulty
- Weekend Buffs: 2x Clan Rates and +35% CT Banner Luck (perfect timing for rerolls!)
Direct Answer: The Shrine Domain is an unlocked ability that provides high-DPS area control, requiring specific materials from the new Cursed Remnant boss and high-tier raids.
Complete Requirements Breakdown
Most guides get this wrong—they tell you that you need 3 Cursed Flesh. That’s incomplete information. You need 3 Cursed Flesh to buy the unlock, but you need 6 more to finish the quest to get the fingers. If you only farm 3, you’ll hit a wall at the NPC.
Total Requirements to Unlock Shrine Domain:
| Material | Total Needed | Source | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cursed Flesh | 9 | Cursed Remnant Mini-Boss | High (Grindy) |
| Cursed Fingers | 3 | Frozen Star NPC Quest | Medium |
| Domain Fragment | 1 | Grade 1 or Special Grade Crates | High (RNG-based) |
| Yen | 100,000 | General Farming/Raids | Low |
Step-by-Step Farming Strategy (1-2 Hours Max)
If you just wander around the map, this will take you all day. Follow this exact workflow to get it done in under two hours.
1. The Cursed Flesh Grind (Do This First)
This is the bottleneck material. You need to hunt the Cursed Remnant mini-boss effectively.
Spawn Details:
- Spawn Time: Every 15-20 minutes per server
- Drop Rate: ~30% chance per kill
- Goal: 9 Flesh total
Cursed Remnant Spawn Locations (4 Spots):
- Teleport 7: Check ground level nearby
- Teleport 7 (Rooftop): Climb the cliff/roof directly above
- Teleport 5: Check the mountain area below
- Path between Teleport 5 & 6: Keep your eyes peeled on the road
Pro Strategy (Server Hopping): Don’t wait 20 minutes for a respawn—that’s for rookies. Here’s the efficient method:
- Join a server
- Speed-run all 4 locations (takes about 60 seconds)
- Kill him if he’s there
- Leave and join a new server
Result: You can farm 10-20 Cursed Flesh per hour this way.
2. The Frozen Star Quest (Get Your Fingers)
Once you have your 9 Flesh, head to the Frozen Star NPC.
Location: Top right of the map, high up on a tree. You’ll need an air dash to reach him.
The NPC gives you 3 quests in sequence. Each quest requires finding a chest at a marked location (easy) but charges Flesh to start:
- Quest 1 Cost: 1 Flesh
- Quest 2 Cost: 2 Flesh
- Quest 3 Cost: 3 Flesh
- Reward: 3 Cursed Fingers
Pro Tip: Collect all 9 Flesh before starting these quests to avoid having to go back and farm more.
3. Snagging the Domain Fragment
You can’t just buy this—you have to win it through raids.
Best Sources:
- Grade 1 Raids: Grade 1 Crate has a 2.6% drop rate
- Calamity Raids: Special Grade Crate has 1.8% drop rate
- Avoid: Grade 2 Crates (0.25% drop rate is a waste of time)
My Recommendation: Bring a party! Rewards scale with party size. If you run Calamity or Volcanic Raids with a full squad, you’ll likely get your Fragment (and the 100k Yen you need) within 5-15 runs.
Complete Moveset and Abilities
Once you unlock the Shrine Domain, here’s what you get access to:
| Ability | Key | Requirements | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dismantle | F | Base ability | Create a large explosion with red and black lights covering the screen |
| Cleave | R | 25 MAS, 10k Yen | Jump into the air and perform a powerful slash attack |
| Web Slam | X | 50 MAS, 25k Yen | Slam onto ground creating explosion with spider web imprint |
| Fuga | C | 75 MAS, 75k Yen | Cutscene attack summoning fire and shooting it into distance |
| Malevolent Shrine | T | Full unlock | Conjure a large shrine to attack opponents with relentless slashes |
Is Malevolent Shrine Worth It?
Short answer: Absolutely, especially for PvE.
In my extensive testing, Limitless still dominates PvP due to its infinite void stun capability. However, for farming bosses, dungeons, or raids, Shrine Domain is top-tier.
Strengths:
- Lockdown: Enemies caught inside seemingly can’t move
- DPS: It shreds health bars with constant slashing ticks
- Synergy: If you have a buddy with Limitless, pop your Shrine inside their Domain for insane damage stacking
Best Build Strategy:
Focus your artifacts on Crit Rate and Crit Damage. Look for the Heavenly Restriction set for maximum output. When fully upgraded with crit-focused builds and multiple Shrine copies, it outperforms many alternatives in boss melting and mob farming.
Common Mistakes That Kill Your Progress
I see players making these same errors in the Discord every day. Don’t be one of them.
1. The “3 Flesh” Trap
I’ll say it again—you need 9 Flesh total. If you go to the Frozen Star NPC with only 3, you’ll finish the first quest and get stuck, unable to continue.
2. Solo Raiding
You can solo raids, but the drop rates are significantly worse. Join public lobbies or get friends. The loot scaling is real—party play increases crate rewards by 2-3 times.
3. Ignoring Weekend Bonuses
If you don’t have the Shrine Technique yet, save your spins for the weekend. That +35% luck bonus on the CT banner is massive and can save you hours of grinding.
4. Wrong Raid Choice
Avoid Grade 2 raids like the plague. The 0.25% Domain Fragment drop rate will waste your time. Stick to Grade 1 or Calamity raids for better efficiency.
Advanced Farming Loop (Optimal Order)
Follow this sequence for maximum efficiency:
- Roll Shrine CT First (use codes, play during weekends for better luck)
- Farm Cursed Flesh (server hopping method, collect all 9 at once)
- Complete Frozen Star Quests (uses 6 Flesh, rewards 3 Fingers)
- Run Grade 1/Calamity Raids (gets Fragment and 100k Yen together)
- Unlock Domain (final step using remaining 3 Flesh)
This order keeps total time under 2 hours. Switching the order or farming fragments too early often causes quest delays and wasted effort.
Active Codes (January 2026)
Don’t start farming without popping these codes first. The Clan Rerolls are huge if you’re trying to roll for Shrine CT initially.
| Code | Rewards | Status |
|---|---|---|
shrinedomain1 | 3,500 Lumen + 75 Clan Rerolls | Active |
60KLIKES | 3,500 Lumen + 30 Clan Rerolls | Active |
150Kmemberswow | 2,000 Lumen + 20 Clan Rerolls | Active |
Note: Codes are case-sensitive. Use them ASAP before they expire.

FAQ
Q: Where exactly does the Cursed Remnant spawn?
A: He has four main spawn points: near Teleport 7 (ground and roof), the mountain area below Teleport 5, and the path between Teleport 5 and 6. Check all locations quickly when server hopping.
Q: Can I trade Cursed Flesh or Domain Fragments with other players?
A: Currently, no. These are account-bound items. You have to farm them yourself, which is why server hopping is so important for efficiency.
Q: Is Shrine Domain better than Limitless?
A: It depends on the situation. For PvP, Limitless generally wins due to its stun capability. For PvE/Raids, Shrine Domain offers superior DPS and crowd control, making it the better farming tool.
Q: How many Cursed Flesh do I need in total?
A: You need 9 total. You need 6 to pay for the Frozen Star quests (to get the Fingers) and 3 to pay for the final unlock in the Domain menu.
Q: What is the best way to get the Domain Fragment?
A: Run Grade 1 Raids or Calamity Mode in a full party. Grade 1 Crates have the highest drop rate (2.6%) relative to time invested. Avoid Grade 2 crates entirely.
Q: Do Crates respawn in Jujutsu Zero?
A: No, Crates do not respawn in Jujutsu Zero. Once you collect any Grade Crate, it will disappear permanently from that location.
Q: How do Vows work with Shrine Domain?
A: Vows are potions that buff certain stats for up to 10 minutes. Some Vows can buff one stat while debuffing another, so read descriptions carefully before using them with your Shrine Domain.
Q: Where can I find partners for raids?
A: Join the official Jujutsu Zero Discord server and use the #raids channel to find players for group content.
Final Verdict
Update 1.5 has breathed new life into Jujutsu Zero. The Malevolent Shrine isn’t just a flashy move—it’s a necessary tool for the new endgame Calamity content. When properly built with crit-focused artifacts and mastered techniques, it becomes one of the most powerful abilities for PvE content.
Your Action Plan:
- Hop servers to farm 9 Cursed Flesh from the Cursed Remnant
- Complete the Frozen Star questline for your fingers
- Group up for Grade 1 Raids to get your Fragment
- Unlock the domain and start shredding
The time investment pays off significantly in the long run, especially for players focused on PvE progression and endgame content.
