The Rope Altar is the site of the Strangling Ritual in Fatal Frame. It is a hidden room deep underground, and contains a large stone pedestal surrounded by five pillar-like devices. The five points of the altar that correspond to each of the five gods housed in the five shrines that surround and protect the mansion. Each point is attached to one of the rack-like devices. During the ritual, the Rope Shrine Maiden would lie on the pedestal, and the ropes would be tied around each device and attached to one of the maiden's limbs or neck. Each of the four priests and Ceremony Master would turn the devices until the maiden had been dismembered and the ropes were saturated with her blood. The ropes were then taken and used in the Ceremony of Ropes to bind the Hell Gate closed.
