Jungle Temple



The Lihzahrd Temple (also known as the Jungle Temple) is a Hardmode, post-Plantera structure that can be considered the Jungle's relatively small version of the Dungeon. It resembles a Mayan pyramid, though it is located deep in the Underground Jungle, and has no surface entrance. It has winding corridors that lead down to a Boss room, which contains the Lihzahrd Altar used to summon the Golem. The Altar requires one Lihzahrd Power Cell to activate, which are found in Lihzahrd Chests throughout the Temple.

In order to access the Temple, one must first defeat Plantera to get the Temple Key. The Lizahrd Temple is constructed from Lihzahrd Brick, which can only be mined with a Picksaw, which is dropped by the Temple's Golem boss.

Throughout the temple are a number of traps, including Flame Traps, Spear Traps, Spiked Ball Traps, Super Dart Traps and Wooden Spikes. They are activated by Lihzahrd Pressure Plates, which only respond to players.

Trivia

 * The name Lihzahrd is a deliberate corruption of the word "lizard". The fact that lizards are the primary enemies in the temple is not a coincidence.
 * The lihzhards seem to be a civilization, however any background or other buildings is not present. However, the golem could be a worshiped god among the lihzhards.

Tips

 * The Rod of Discord is able to teleport into the temple after Plantera is defeated, letting you save the temple key for crafting a Dungeon Key. Alternatively, using a hammer on the Lihzahrd Brick Wall to create an empty space with no walls or bricks just inside the door, then using the Rod of Discord on said empty space will work even without having Plantera defeated.
 * The Rod of Discord is able to teleport inside an Underground Cabin that intersects the temple, so long that it has Planked Walls.
 * You need the Picksaw to mine Lihzahrd Bricks. It has a chance to be dropped by the Temple boss, the Golem.
 * One effective way of avoiding the traps in the Temple is to hold a wire related item (Wire Cutter, Wrench, Dart Traps, Pressure Plates, or any trap from inside the Temple) to see where the Pressure Plates are. This is extremely useful for ranged and magic players who don't have enough defense to survive the traps.
 * Another effective way to getting rid of traps is to grapple to the top, light the current surrounding, and disarming the trap. This proves effective because the traps are activated by a pressure plate. The traps could be reused for the creation of an arena for the Golem or any other bosses/invasions.
 * The temple will either be in the far right, left, or center of your underground jungle. It usually spawns in areas near the lava level.
 * Since none of the enemies nor their attacks in the temple (except Golem's lasers) can pass through walls, it is possible to set up AFK farms.
 * Each Temple has roughly 4-9 Lihzahrd Power Cells. If you want to farm the Golem in the same world, but don't have the time to farm the Lihzahrds for the Power cells, farm Plantera to get the temple keys and create small worlds, search for the jungle and find the temple again to loot it of the new Power Cells. This whole process will go very quickly, if you can defeat Plantera quickly.
 * Some useful weapons for traversing the temple and its large amounts of enemies are the Magnet Sphere and Shadowbeam Staff for magic users, Chlorophyte ammo or Piranha Gun for ranged users, and Scourge of the Corruptor or Vampire Knives for meele users. All of these are effective with big amounts of enemies or in closed spaces, without risking losing a lot of HP.
 * Taking the traps in the temple can make very effective pumpkin and frost moon arenas,or AFK farms.
