Jungle Temple



The Jungle Temple, also known as the Lihzahrd Temple, is a large, enclosed structure made out of Lihzahrd Bricks that is located within the Underground Jungle. It contains unique Lihzahrd-themed enemies and furniture, including the Lihzahrd Furnace, a crafting station used for crafting more types of Lihzahrd-themed furniture. The Lihzahrd Altar is found here, which is used to summon Golem.Golem is a boss that the player fights after defeating Plantera and obtaining lihzard power cells and using them on the lihzard altar.

The temple can be entered through the Lihzahrd Door near the top, which is initially locked. A Temple Key is required to open it, which is dropped by Plantera. Using the key on the door consumes it and unlocks the door, permanently granting access to the temple to all players in the world. Although it is usually impossible to enter the temple in any other way due to Lihzahrd Bricks being so robust they require tools dropped by Golem to be destroyed and Lihzahrd Brick Walls imposing numerous restrictions, e.g. on Teleporters, there are several methods to enter the temple prior to defeating Plantera.

Within the temple, there is a long, winding corridor leading from the entrance through many chambers down to a large room containing the Lihzahrd Altar. The altar can be used to summon the Golem boss at the cost of one Lihzahrd Power Cell, which are found in the temple's Lihzahrd Chests and are dropped by Lihzahrds and Flying Snakes. The entire temple is filled with several types of traps, including Flame, Spear, Spiked Ball, and Super Dart Traps. Traps occur much more frequently in the temple than in the Dungeon and are far more damaging. They are activated by Lihzahrd Pressure Plates, which only respond to players (enemies walk on them freely without triggering them). Like in the Dungeon, all temple traps, pressure plates, and wires can be looted by the player, e.g. for use in player-built mechanisms, and save the player from nasty suprises.

Tips

 * If any area of the temple is blocked off, the player can use, for example, two Teleporters with some wire, Actuators with an Actuation Rod, the Rod of Discord, or a hoik to bypass the blockage.
 * The Jungle Temple is densely wired. Collecting all wires in the Temple (using the Wire Cutter or The Grand Design) can net a player over 1000 wires.
 * An effective way of avoiding the traps in the temple is to hold a wire-related item (Wrench, Wire Cutter, or their upgrades, or devices or triggers) to make placed wires visible, or use a Mechanical Lens. The Dangersense Potion is also useful for this, as the buff also highlights Wooden Spikes in addition to traps and pressure plates.
 * The Lihzahrd Furnace can be sold for and since every chest inside the temple contains one, selling excess ones is an effective way of making money.
 * Using an item like the Binoculars or the Sniper Scope to extend the reach of the cursor can allow reaching Lihzahrd Chests from the outside of the temple in certain areas (e.g. the lowest chamber).

Trivia

 * The Wires of the Jungle Temple appear to have their colors based upon the horizontal position of the pressure plate they originate from.
