The Temple is the fourth and final main area of the caves, starting on level 13. Olmec's Lair is found at the end, on level 16.
Geography[]
The area consists of narrow passageways through bricked terrain, and the level may also contain trees or grassy terrain in limited areas. Treasure may be found in the walls if the walls are destroyed with either Bombs or a Mattock. One of the levels will randomly contain the door to the City of Gold, which can only be opened with a Scepter while wearing the Hedjet.
Dangers[]
All Monsters and Traps (besides The Ghost) that can be harmful/hostile in the Temple:
Notes:[]
- The Shopkeeper will only attack you if you hurt him or try to steal something from him.
- You can avoid getting hit by Monsters that come out of Monster Pots by attacking them with the whip or other melee weapons instead of throwing pots away from you.
- Olmec has his own unique boss level only and always found on level 16.
Special Features[]
Kali's Altars[]
Kali's Altars can appear on certain levels of every area. You can sacrifice dead or knocked out creatures by dropping them onto the Altar. Depending on your sacrifice, she will gift you or not with items. If you destroy the Altar, she will be displeased with you and spawn a group of spiders on you, even if the destruction was by another creature.
Golden Idol[]
Golden Idols may appear randomly on each of the levels. They are placed beneath a Ceiling Trap which will trap the Spelunker in the room with sliding doors as soon as he grabs the Idol. The Ceiling will slowly descend until they reach the floor, and are guaranteed to crush the Spelunker if he does not escape through the use of a Bomb or Mattock to break out of the sealed room.
Level Feelings[]
Sacrificial Pit[]
A deep and narrow pit will be generated in the level with a Golden Idol and a Damsel suspended at the top on blocks that will instantly disintegrate as soon as the Spelunker picks up the Idol. Arrow Traps, Tiki Traps, and a Lava Pool are waiting to kill you as soon as you fall in.
Darkness[]
The level will be engulfed in darkness with only a few light sources scattered throughout, including Scarabs and torches. You will be give a Box of Flares containing three individual flares.
Mini extra[]
*sometimes an mini portion of jungle will spawn in some levels of the temple
Maybe this has something to do with the ruins found in the Jungle......
