The Doll Altars are located in the Handmaidens' rooms. One of the four Tattooed Stakes is pierced through the middle of each altar. Each altar also holds a Purity Stone, used with the mechanism in the Tattoo Altar to raise the cage to the upper level.

Each of the four Handmaidens had their own Doll Altar (North, South, East and West). Red dolls were nailed to the walls in each of the rooms with stakes by the Handmaidens, as their primary duty when not looking after the Tattooed Priestess. These dolls represented the pains that Worshippers had offered at the Kuze Shrine. During the impalement, the Handmaidens would sing the lullaby to appease the pains.^[1]

The impalement and the Doll Altars also played an important role in containing the Rift after the Unleashing. Positioned at the four corners of the old Manor, the Doll Altars marked out the Shrine of Sleep,^[2] which was to prevent the Rift from spreading if the Rift Shrine failed.
