hey there people so today I am bringing
you what I hope will be a complete guide
to the jungle temple aka the lizard
temple in Terraria what it is how to
find it how to get into the jungle
temple with no key or with one
navigating the jungle temple and
avoiding traps the enemies you'll find
there accessing the final chamber of the
temple if it's blocked off and all the
loot drops and plunder you will find so
first of all what is the jungle temple
well the jungle temple is a large
dungeon like structure made of brownish
orange bricks known as lizard bricks not
to be confused with the hives you'll
find in the underground jungle which are
a brighter more yellow orange color
unlike the dungeon it normally has a
single fairly linear path towards a
large end chamber the end chamber
contains an altar which is used to
summon the golem boss now that part I
will not be covering today I'll cover
that next week in my next episode so
let's get on to how to find the jungle
temple well it's always in the
underground jungle but not in any
particular location it varies a bit in
size and it varies a lot in location
within the underground jungle it can be
near the top of the underground near the
underworld right near the bottom off to
one side or in the middle either side
more often though it's in the mid to
lower section of the underground jungle
and it's off to one side or the other
quite often but it really can be
anywhere in the underground jungle it
can even be on the very very edge of the
underground jungle with most of the
actual temple outside on occasion you'll
find it that way so if you're really
having trouble finding it make sure you
check all the way the edges of your
underground jungle so I've actually
prepared a little graphic for you today
and this is just showing 8 different
worlds that I have and where the jungle
is the jungle temple in each of them and
you can see you know they vary in size
also because there are different sized
worlds but you can get the idea there
that the jungle temple itself can be
various sizes it can be various places
you can see it like on the right or near
the bottom and for
- at the top left there and you can see
it on the left side on the top right one
and you can see it you know right in the
middle at the very bottom on the one
that's on the bottom in the middle so it
really can be anywhere and you're
basically just going to need to search
around the underground jungle until you
find it ride any minecart tracks you
find fly around open areas look for
those brownish orange bricks the first
place to search really is any large area
that you haven't been to yet use a
process of elimination you can you know
dig vertical tunnels and horizontal
tunnels if you really have to but really
you're just gonna want to look around as
much as you can it's a big thing when
you do find the right area it's gonna be
fairly hard to miss but there are also
things that can help you to find it as
well potions and lights can help
anything that provides light and also
potions that will highlight certain
things
so this balanc err potion for instance
I've brought a few of those along that
highlights chests and pots and other
treasures including ores you're not
gonna find ores in the jungle temple but
the jungle temple chests and pots will
look unique unlike the other ones that
you find in the underground jungle so
that can be useful also the danger sense
potion that will highlight enemies and
again the actually story that will
highlight traps danger sense potion
highlights traps and again jungle temple
has a lot of traps and a lot of wiring
it will show you the wiring as well the
jungle temple can have multicolored
wiring which you normally would not find
in the underground jungle so if you see
like blue or yellow wires that kind of
thing that's a sure sign that that's the
jungle temple and also the spikes and
the dart traps and the flamethrower
traps and all that stuff the jungle
temple is full of traps but yes the
hunter potion is the one that I kind of
meant there shows the location of
enemies and jungle temple enemies are
also unique so if you see they're called
the lizard or in the flying snake will
show you those later when I actually get
to the temple but if you see those
around again you're near the jungle
temple
so any of those can help you with
finding it a little bit as well if
you're willing to go to the effort of
making those potions of course you can
also use shine potions and niteowl
potions to help your general light or
visibility you can also use like pets
that'll give you a little bit of light
as well
worst case if you happen to be playing
on PC you can actually use a map viewer
or editor like Terra Firma Terra map
more Terra or T edit I've actually done
videos on both Terra Firma the viewer
and T edit the editor although lately
I've been using Terra map which I
haven't made a video on but any of those
will work and that's actually how I
generated that picture as well I just
pasted screenshots of a few different
ones from that so let's head down to the
jungle and I'll get on to the next step
here all right so just to be clear these
bricks here that is not a jungle temple
brick these are hive bricks this is a
hive so that's not what you're looking
for what you're looking for it's these
type of bricks that are a little darker
color a little more brownish orange and
that is your jungle temple and yes of
course I had to set this here so I could
get here quickly and this one was more
in the bottom in the middle of this
particular world but again that varies
quite a lot so how to enter the jungle
temple well the door should easily be
near the top on one side or the other I
found this one on this side and normally
normally you would get the key when you
defeat plantera although it is possible
to enter the temple without the key so I
do have the key I defeated plantera so I
can just well I already unlocked it with
the key but jungle temple key is one of
these and so I can do it that way the
legit way let's say that being said
there are other ways to do it so one is
the what's called a one-way wall glitch
which is really just a glitch in the
game this still works on 1.3 and I think
it might be the only one that does still
work since the 1.3 update we'll see if
it still works after 1.4 but what you do
is just
put three platforms on the side of the
door hammer each of them once so it's
effectively it's actually an upward
stairwell now if you have space feel
free to put a fourth it would work
better but if you do it this way with
just the three you'll need to hold down
as you go through and you can see you
can actually just pass right through
that and I've set this up so that I can
show you that you can do it in Reverse
as well you can do it both sides it's
just a single hammer on each one hold
down as you move forward through it and
you can pass right through if you don't
hold down its gonna do something like
this you can get sort of stuck there
maybe but if you do hold down you can
pass right through so that will work
even on one point-three now if you're on
a pre update platform you can't actually
use teleporters or the rod of discord
still to get in if you do not have the
one-point-three equivalent update yet
you will however need to hammer around
hammer out the background walls these
jungle temple background walls on many
versions if those walls were there on
most of them if it's an up-to-date
version for your platform but it's still
pretty one point-three you'll probably
need to hammer up these walls on very
old versions you don't need to do that
on the other hand although this is 1.3
because I have defeated plantera I can
still use this basically once you've
defeated plantera it will let you use
teleporters and it will let you do a
couple other things as well but yeah so
because it because I have defeated
plantera I can do that even on one
playthrough but if you're on a pre
update platform you can wire up
teleporters which you get from your
steampunker by the way wires from your
mechanic wrench to place them and then
you can hammer out the background walls
so that these brown orange walls are not
behind it that's actually on the
destination that it matters not not the
not where you're coming from but where
you're going to probably you wouldn't
put this with the background walls there
anyway if you wanted to be able to
teleport back and this was here you
would still need to hammer them out
there as well but you would need to get
close enough and put it just inside it
doesn't have to be about the door put it
just inside but you would have to hammer
out the walls all the way so that
basically the walls surrounding that
teleporter are all out of the way and
then it should let you do it or again
rod of discord if you happen to have one
just hammer out a big enough gap free to
teleport into should work now rare
occasions there may also be an opening
or an overlapping house or a mini biome
like a marble biome or something that
goes into the side enough and some of
the blocks are replaced enough that you
can mine those non temple blocks out or
there may just be a space that you can
get through that way as well that's
pretty rare though that all being said
yes you can there are ways on all
versions to be able to get into the
temple so far at least but you cannot
fight golem until after you have
defeated plantera except on very old
versions again but there is very short
window there where the jungle temple and
golem were added in one point to I
believe and then it wasn't long before
they patched that so that you can't he
even used that so that you can't get in
there that way and you can't fight call
them before defeat implant arrow so that
was all patched but you can still get in
and it is useful it is still useful to
get in there for the purposes of
gathering traps and other loot the traps
inside the jungle temple very useful for
building arenas and on the updated
platforms you can also get solar tablet
and solar tablet fragments which you can
piece into solar tablets which are used
to summon solar eclipses manually so
that's one really big one on the updated
platforms to get those tablet fragments
as well and on all versions to get the
traps which are worth something to now
navigating the junk junk
temple I guess I can go ahead and remove
these but as I mentioned earlier the
path through the jungle temple itself is
actually quite straightforward it's
basically a linear path for the most
part I mean it's gonna be up and down
and there'll be drops and stuff but as
you can see it's pretty straightforward
the danger though is the traps and as
you can see you want to see you want to
be able to view and avoid those traps so
there are a few ways of doing that so a
danger sense potion again will highlight
any of the traps so let's just show you
how that works now that will highlight
the pressure plates that will highlight
the traps themselves which in this case
are up there and the spikes as well now
that's one that you're not going to see
other ways the danger sense potion will
show you the spikes so that's useful
that's one way another way is to hold
any mechanism or wiring related item in
this case I just you can use a wire
cutter this is available on all versions
and not only can you see it but you can
actually cut the wires and then that
rendered that trap ineffective cords if
I don't do that I'm gonna get hit with
these well if I happen to be in the
wrong place um so the wire cutter will
also highlight the wires for you or any
other trap or mechanism will do likewise
I'll just show you for instance I can
switch off of that but if I pick up the
pressure plate is still gonna show the
wires as well now in the updated
platforms there are some additional ways
of being able to need to do that
obviously harvesting out those wires
with a wire cutter is useful because a
free wire as well as of course disabling
the traps you can of course also mine
out the traps themselves and the
pressure plate boom and you can reuse
those for arenas and so on
but there are some additional options to
be able to see all that stuff on the
updated platform so I'm just gonna break
out my money
speaking of updated only and the
mechanical lens is an excellent option
because you don't actually have to have
that selected again this is available on
updated platforms only you buy it from
the mechanic but the mechanical lens you
just have to put it in your inventory
you don't need to actually have it
selected and that frees you up to be
able to fight while still being able to
see where the traps are a step further
to that the grand design is actually
1.3.1 but that has now come to xbox one
and ps4 as well SPC the grand design is
kind of one step further to that now
this will highlight them when it's not
selected but if it is selected and you
can actually this ruler thing might be
annoying so you can turn that off up
here but when it is selected you can
actually toggle it as a wire cutter and
you can even select all colors of wire
and you don't even have to be near the
wires it will actually allow you to cut
those wires from anywhere on the screen
which obviously is awesome and you can
switch back and forth between that and
the weapons even when it's not chosen
you can still fight and there you go
disabling those traps that's gonna save
you a lot of trouble so again not only
that but there are of course the enemies
you obviously have seen a couple of them
quickly they're the lizards are those
like sort of humanoid guys that will
then crawl on the ground as well
the flying snakes obviously are the
snakes that fly the have wings so those
are flying snakes and those are the two
main enemies other than of course the
golem boss who is at the end of the
jungle temple so well obviously these
enemies are going to be really hard if
you get in here before you've defeated
plantera at this point I'm not too
worried about them but this is an expert
world actually but you may want a hunter
potion it's an option to be able to show
you where those guys are as well so
that'll help you out too if you want to
probably kill these guys because they're
really annoying to listen to right
you've been playing them for how long
they sound like cats I don't know
whatever that's about disable those
traps don't forget to disable the traps
free water and yeah so those are the
enemies and I'll tell you about the
drops in a minute when I get to that
section of the video but there is the
issue of getting into the final chamber
if that final chamber is blocked by
bricks
speaking of disabling the trap you'll
want to find a way to get in there so
actuators and teleporters obviously the
main thing about getting into that final
chamber is fighting the golem boss which
you can only do after you defeat
plantera anyway the thing is that after
you have defeated plantera
it will then allow you and not before
that but only then allow you to use
things like actuators teleporters and so
on so if you've defeated plantera and
you're ready to fight golem you can then
use actuators and teleporters to make
your way through like if this was a
solid wall and say this was the final
chamber on the other side what we can do
is just pop a bunch of these in now yeah
it would there's a limit on how far you
can reach and that actually varies by
platform but let's say I could reach all
the way through that I go almost good
then you can wire that up and of course
if you are an updated platform the grand
design comes in very handy there
why are all that up I'll even wire it to
this pressure plate and then just to
show you what's gonna happen here but
torches on either side how and yeah I'm
actually going to disable this there we
go and it is basically just going to
disable those blocks and you can put
that on a pressure plate or you can put
it on a switch or whatever you like but
actuators that's what they do they
disable blocks and once you've defeated
plantera which is the only time you can
fight the Golem anyway it will then
allow you to use actuators in the jungle
temple and that's probably why they
allowed that and teleporters as I showed
earlier are also valid and usable after
you defeated plantera
so those are two ways to get through any
walls you may encounter on your way to
the final chamber to fight golem so last
thing to talk about really is yeah
they're all blocked before that to
prevent early entry you can't fight
golem anyway so whatever but yeah loot
so there's loot from chests there's loot
from the drops from the enemies and
there's loot from just general
plundering so lizard chest did I
actually see any of those yet
she got disabled those traps I'm gonna
get myself hurt it's a dangerous place
but let's talk about the drops from the
enemies lizards and flying snakes both
have the same drops and the same drop
rates so from them you can get lizard
power cells which are the ones that you
use to activate the altar at the end to
fight the Golem that's a 1 in 50 from
each of them that you'll get a Power
Cell lizard egg is a pet item it's a one
in 1,000 chance is to get the lizard egg
which will give you the lizard pet and
on the updated platforms only the solar
tablet fragments one in seven chance
that you'll get them from these guys
let's see how many we got here any any I
don't think I got any but you get
basically the same thing for mostly from
the chest the chest it's kind of hoping
I would just see this but the chest you
will get the same items as well as
lizzard furnace so wizard furnace does
not exist on 3ds but on all other
platforms you can get the lizard furnace
which allows you to craft furniture out
of these blocks which you can only
actually mine after you defeat of golem
but every lizard chest which is the cut
type of chest that you find here in the
jungle temple will contain one lizard
power cell and one lizard furnace
furnace on all platforms except for 3ds
and the Power Cell again will allow you
to summon the golem there we go that's
the solar tablet fragment drop from the
enemies yeah there we go there's a chess
so there we go
it's got the furnace and it's got solar
tablet fragments and it should have yet
one Power Cell so we'll always have one
Power Cell on all platforms it'll have
the furnace on all platforms except for
3ds it will have random other loot just
like other underground chests which you
can see here and finally it will have on
the updated platforms only it will have
a one in five chance of one or more
solar tablets or sorry it's a one in
five chance of a full solar tablet and a
four out of five chance of anywhere
between three and seven solar tablets
fragments so that's what I got here
a bunch of them six of them and that's
the chest so then of course there are
the traps and
there's the wires and you can harvest
the trash and the wires and you can also
harvest unique furniture as you can see
here there's you know the chair harvest
chairs see me chair and that you only
find in the temple I mean and also
things like that little pedestal back
here special tables does your table so
it's got its own unique stuff that is
unique to the temple that you know
obviously is something you can get here
as well and of course statues there are
some unique statues in the jungle temple
as well so that's basically it and
hopefully I've covered everything
always remember to disable your traps
bring your wire cutter or if you're on
the updated your mechanical lens or even
better the grand design be prepared and
get everything you want from the jungle
temple and get in there whether you've
defeated golem or defeated plain
territory or not and if you have
defeated plantera
you can make your way through that final
chamber and fight the golem which I'm
going to show you next time
so I hope you liked the video thanks for
watching please subscribe if you haven't
already and I'll see you next time
