The Lost Temple is a location in the Valguero DLC. The mysterious site is hidden deep inside the jungles of Valguero and permits entrance to a cave system containing two artifacts; the Artifact of the Brute and Artifact of the Devourer.

Overview[edit | edit source]

As the name suggests, The Lost Temple is a mysterious location, hidden deep in the jungles of Valguero. The entrance to the cave, rewarding the brave survivor with not one, but two Artifacts, is hidden behind the former entrance to The Lost Temple.

Stalactites hanging from the ceilings and stalagmites growing on the grounds litter the caves, while the Aberration large glowing crystals eternalize the Earth's age in the caverns The Lost Temple permits access to.

The dangers of the cave are not so much in the inhabitants, but by the length and fall dangers in the final cavern. With proper preparation the cave is fairly easy, for a beginning survivor it is challenging enough though.

The Lost Temple hosts the Artifact of the Brute and Artifact of the Devourer, needed to summon Megapithecus (one of the three bosses on Valguero) on Alpha and Gamma difficulty respectively, and as with all mysteries of The Lost Temple, the Alpha Artifact is much easier to obtain than the Gamma Artifact.

Along the way, the survivor can enjoy a diverse array of breathtaking sights in The Lost Temple cave.

Dangers[edit | edit source]

Disorientation/claustrophobia
Fall damage
Drowning
Electrocution by Electrophorus
Stunning by Eurypterid
Mega Rabies by Onyc
In the area for the artifact of the Devourer, if you fall and touch the ground you will be killed instantly.

Recommended equipment[edit | edit source]

Torch (and a spare one) and/or Light pet
Metal Pick
Pike for Pulmonoscorpius
Ranged Weapons to kill eels, Arthropluera and bats from a distance
Replacement Armor (for Arthropluera spits)
SCUBA flippers for easier swimming (and/or high Oxygen stats)
There is no Thatch or Wood in the cave so bring those along
Time for a first time visit; 1.5-2 hours (including screenshots)

Must:

Climbing Pick (many)
Zip-Line Anchor (possibly with Ravager)
Zip-Line motor attachment for your armor if you are not using a Ravager
Cryopod to get the Ravager to the final cavern (optional, it is possible to do with climbing picks)
Instead of the Cryopod and a Ravager you can actually just bring a Deinonychus, they are able to walk with you mounted through the entire cave. Even climb out. However, Deinonychus cannot climb (high) enough to reach the cave for the Artifact of the Devourer.
