Secret Locations

Double Chest Secret

Double Chest Secret.jpg
There is a secret that actually counts as two when found! While exploring the temple, you can find a long temple room that has another room at the end. To get to the room you will have to get through some mobs first, but the challenge is worth it. In the room at the end are 2 fancy chests together, what a find!

Sun Gate Pillar

Sun Gate secret.jpg

Although it looks like a secret area, this pillar at the center of the Sun Gate room is not counted as a secret. Underneath it is a maze that contains a lot of chests! Read on to the Tips & Strategies section to know how to unlock it!

Chest Locations

Trap Rooms

Be careful on entering these rooms as it will trigger an ambush. The most dangerous among the spawned mobs are the creepers since this room is too small. Creepers may spawn right beside you which makes it more difficult to avoid the explosion.

Surviving the ambush rewards you with a chest.

Tips & Strategies

Unlocking the Sun Gate Pillar

Pillar unlocked.jpg

Okay, here we go, There are clues on the walls of the this area on how to move the pillar at the center and uncover a secret entrance.

All you need to do is make the two statues at the side face the center. You can rotate these statues by pushing the switch near them. Keep on rotating them until they face the center.

If you have trouble finding the statues' faces, just check on the golden plate at their bases and make it face the center.

Boss Strategy Guide

Jungle Abomination

Get Behind It

Its hammer slam attack is a slow attack that can hit a wide area in front of it. It is best try to get behind it when you see it raise its arm and attack from behind!

Take Out the Whisperers

The Whisperers are the mobs that can summon vine or even the Poison-Quill Vine to make things more difficult for you. It is best to take them out right away for some alone time with the Jungle Abomination!

Watch Out for the Tendrils

It also has a tendril attack that comes from the ground. It is a ranged attack that can affect multiple areas. When you see it put its tendril on the ground, start watching out for the spots it'll come out of!

Glaive can be a good melee for that. Longer range and has a powerful knockback.

That's right. Even if the creepers will spawn they won't deal much damage. You should also wear armor with a chance to negate attacks.
