Lihzahrd



The Lihzahrd (also known as the Jungle Temple) is the Jungle's hardmode dungeon. It is a small (at least compared to the normal dungeon) structure that resembles a Mayan pyramid, with winding corridors down to a boss room at the bottom. The boss room contains a Lihzahrd Altar, which can be used to summon the Golem with Lihzahrd Power Cells.

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

 * The Teleporter seems to allow the player to go inside the temple without a Temple Key.


 * You need the Picksaw (which has a chance to be dropped by the Temple boss, the Golem) to mine Lihzahrd bricks. However it does not seem the Lihzahrd brick walls can be harvested through explosives or even Chlorophyte tools.
 * As of the 1.2.0.3 update, the walls are now capable of being harvested.
 * One effective way of avoiding the traps in the Temple is to hold a wire related item (wire-cutter, dart traps, pressure plates, any trap from inside the temple works) 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.

Trivia

 * The name Lihzahrd is a mispronunciation of the word "lizard". The fact that lizards are the primary enemies in the temple is not a coincidence.
