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. Each generated world contains one Temple. 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 large room containing the Lihzahrd Altar used to summon the Golem boss. The Altar requires one Lihzahrd Power Cell to activate, several of which can be found in Lihzahrd Chests throughout the Temple.

In order to access the Temple, one must first defeat Plantera to get the Temple Key. This key can be used to open the Lihzahrd Door at the Temple's entrance. The Temple itself is constructed from Lihzahrd Bricks, which can only be mined with the Picksaw dropped by the Golem.

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.

Tips

 * 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 for Temple Keys, create small worlds, use the keys to open the Temples in those, and loot Power Cells from the chests inside.
 * 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 melee users. All of these are effective with large groups of enemies or in closed spaces, without risking losing a lot of HP.
 * Taking the traps in the temple can make very effective Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon arenas, or AFK farms.

Trivia

 * The name "Lihzahrd" is a deliberate corruption of the word "lizard". The fact that lizards are the primary enemies of the temple is not a coincidence.
 * The jagged layout of the Temple will often create descents and pits the Lihzahrds cannot traverse. Combined with how the Golem holds the Pickaxe, one may get the impression that the Temple was built by the Golem.
