Secret Level

Lower Temple

How to Find the Lower Temple

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!

Note: The secret switches to find the Runes only appear after finding the Church after beating the game the first time.

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.

All Obsidian Chest Locations

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!
