Guide:Surviving in the Jungle Temple


 * Using a Nimbus Rod to cover a vertical drop from layer to layer allows for a good crowd control of enemies.


 * A Dangersense Potion is extremely useful in the Lihzahrd Temple because of it's ability to highlight traps, such as the ones all over the temple.


 * Hunter Potions are useful for detecting enemies in the next room or layer.


 * One should move slowly and carefully, good ranged or magic weapons are advised, such as the golden shower for dealing with enemies from a distance, move slowly and pay attention to the floor, its advised to remove pressure plates and spikes for easier navigation


 * Using a grappling hook is good to avoid Lihzahrds when in a room with a high ceiling, but you are still vulnerable to Flying Snake attacks.


 * It is recommended that a player takes a wrench or some wire cutters to the temple. The traps in the Lizahrd can be rather difficult to avoid, and the pressure plates can't be broken. However, being able to see wires and cut them can make the task a lot easier, leaving the player to focus on entities instead. Or you can just take the traps with you.

And the liking, then return to it without having to worry about traps, and only having to worry about enemies. It can be useful to replace pressure plates with yellow ones to get the enemies to kill themselves. Explosives, such as dynamite, can be found in lizhard chests, making removing spikes easier.
 * As stated above, a good method would be to go into the temple specifically just to remove wires

After defeating the Golem, the Picksaw can be used to remove blocks. Traps can be removed and harvested with the Drax. You can use the traps to your advantage. Do not use spikes though, because they are immune.
 * Using a Death Sickle (dropped by a Reaper in a Solar Eclipse) are recommended due to them being able to shoot through walls. The Scourge of the Corruptor is useful due to the tiny eaters being able to chase mobs. It is also a good idea to grapple on to the ceiling and shoot around with Vampire Knives to heal and attack large areas.
