Rune Location
Desert Temple Rune
During the objective to open the Gold gate, you can find a switch in the corner of the room after the room with the Gold Key. Pressing it will open a secret door with the Rune waiting inside!

Eye of Ender Location
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |
 Find the Short Set of Stairs At the beginning of the mission, keep following the objective marker until you find a short set of stairs between two bonfires and near a small palm tree. Go through the open path to the left of the stairs. |
| 2 |
Enter the New Area At the end of the path is a stone gate with an entrance behind it. Push the button to the right of the gate then enter the next area once the stone gate opens. |
| 3 |
Go Through the Next Entrance After entering the area, keep following the path, and you'll eventually reach another opening. Enter it to move on to the next area. |
| 4 |
Push the Buttons In the middle of the next area are two buttons. Push them to continue forward. |
| 5 |
Find the Gold Key As you keep moving forward, you will be greeted by a gold gate. The corresponding gold key can be found at the end of a room to the right of the gate. Take the key and insert it in the gate, then move on. |
| 6 |
Push the Buttons (2) You will then encounter a room with narrow pathways and spikes that appear on the ground. Push all of the buttons in the room to unlock the final gate. |
| 7 |
Defeat the Endersent Behind the final gate is the Endersent's room. Defeat it and get the Eye of Ender, then exit the mission. |
Secret Locations
Obsidian Chest
This Obsidian chest seems to be bugged and is not guaranteed. After opening the Gold gate you will pass by a entrance to a room. Entering the room will tell you if the secret is available. If the path way is from upper left to lower right you can find the secret by rolling off the right path to a ledge made of sand.
If the orientation is the other way and you roll onto the ledge, you can not enter the entrance and will require you to retry the mission. Once you land on the ledge a secret door will open and inside is the Obsidian chest.
Fancy Chest
The fancy chest is in the same room as the Obsidian Chest and will also require the same steps to get to. Unlike the Obsidian chest, this chest is guarenteed to spawn everytime. After rolling onto the ledge you can find it by following the ledge up to get back onto the main path. On your way back a secret chest will spawn!
Chest Locations
Across the Chasm
You will pass by a room you can enter during this mission. If you enter it, you will find a chest on a platform across a chasm on the other side of the room. You will need to look around and activate 3 beacons to activate the bridge to get to the chest!
Tips & Strategies
Defeat the Necromancers Quickly
These enemies can summon more zombies and skeletons. Defeat them as soon as possible to avoid getting overwhelmed!
Watch Out for the Traps
There are hidden traps everywhere in the temple. Be careful where you step, as when stepping on a trigger the traps will activate.
Boss Strategy Guide
Enderman
Dodge Its Attacks
When it appears, try and dodge its attack by moving to the side and attacking him from there!
The Nameless One
Defeat the Skeletons While Dodging the Projectiles
You will have to defeat the Skeletons the Nameless One summons during the fight. Dodge the Nameless One's projectiles while you are dealing with the minions. The Totem of Shielding can help with defeating them without worrying about projectiles!
Attack When It is Charging the Staff
After defeating the summoned Skeletons, the Nameless One will fire a few more projectiles before charging its staff. This is your chance to go on the offensive. Hit him with all you got before he finishes charging!

I don't really see the problem of it not spawning properly. 5 reruns, 5 obsidian chests.
