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.

Within the Temple are Trap-filled corridors leading down to a large room containing the Lihzahrd Altar. It requires one Lihzahrd Power Cell to summon the Golem Boss. The cells can be found in Lihzahrd Chests or being dropped by lihzards in the Temple.

In order to access the Temple, one must first defeat Plantera to get the Temple Key, used to open the Lihzahrd Door at the Temple's entrance. The door can be destroyed with explosives in the mobile version, allowing Pre-Hardmode access. The Temple itself is constructed from Lihzahrd Bricks, which can only be mined with the Picksaw dropped by the Golem.

The Lihzahrd Temple contains unique Lihzahrd enemies, and Lihzahrd-themed furniture. Its Lihzahrd Chests have a chance to contain a Lihzahrd Furnace, for crafting further Lihzahrd furniture.

The Temple is filled with several types of Traps, including Flame Traps, Spear Traps, Spiked Ball Traps, 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. Like Dungeon traps, all Temple Traps, Pressure Plates, and Wires can be looted by the player for use in player-built Mechanisms.

Tips

 * While Lihzahrd Bricks and the temple's altar can currently only be mined by the Picksaw, most other objects in the temple, including the traps, can be removed with ordinary tools.
 * An 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 make the wiring of the traps in the temple visible.
 * The Dangersense Potion is extremely useful, as it illuminates all traps, spikes and buttons, allowing you to avoid them with ease.
 * Each Temple is guaranteed to contain some Lihzahrd Power Cells in the Chests (roughly 4-9 on average).  It is guaranteed that there will be two chests in the Lihzahrd Temple, each containing a Power Cell.
 * Temple traps will occasionally spawn outside of the door.
 * Being in sections of the temple where there is a lot of visible open space in the jungle will allow normal jungle enemies to spawn outside of the temple more frequently, lowering the spawn rate of Lihzahrd Temple enemies.
