UNCOVER THE FORGOTTEN TEMPLE’S SECRETS

by

Following successful completion of the “Trials on the Frozen Mountain” in “Stormpass,” vanquishing the main adversary, players are transported to the game’s central hub, known as “The Crevice.” In this locale, “Blade Phantom” apprises “Khazan” of his upcoming destination—the “Embars Ruins.” This initiates the third mission titled, “Forgotten Temple.” For those seeking to discover all “Soulstones” and traverse the subterranean corridors of the temple, the guide provided below serves as a useful resource.

Forgotten Temple Walkthrough (Soulstone Locations)

Immediately upon the mission’s launch, make a beeline for the area known as the Abandoned Plains (Blade Nexus). You’ll eventually come across a fork in the road; take the right path to run into some enemies and a valuable item called the Vitality Tome. After that, return to the fork and choose the left path instead. Be aware of an undead archer stationed overhead on this route.

Soulstone #1 in Forgotten Temple

As you journey along, engage any undead foes that cross your path until you come to another fork in the road. Take the left route initially, as it’s blocked by wooden barriers – break these down to discover your first Soulstone. Afterward, retrace your steps and choose the path on the right. Continue forward and open the door you find along the way to unveil the Forgotten Temple Entrance (Blade Nexus).

Make your way upstairs for your initial confrontation with the Dragonkin in “The First Berserker: Khazan”. Handle those who venerate the relics of a different Dragonkin.

Soulstone #2 in Forgotten Temple

As I’m about to climb the stairs, let me first veer right and tackle the pair of adversaries that lie ahead. In the farthest corner, you’ll discover the second Soulstone hidden away. Once I’ve ascended the stairs, I’ll make a beeline for the far right where an open gate awaits, leading me to the Bard – a charming merchant who peddles a plethora of potions.

Additionally, he offers the “Ancient Reshaping Sphere” priced at 10,000 Gold. This artifact enables you to reallocate your character’s attributes and utilize the Lacrima once more.

Once you’ve completed your shopping, spin around and to your left, you’ll discover a slightly hidden stairway housing the Netherworld Energy Upgrade for your convenience. Descend, ascend the stairs once more, then proceed straight up another flight of stairs. As you advance, you’ll come across some archers and a formidable Lunatic Destroyer, followed by reaching the currently locked boss gate. To your left, immediately turn right to locate two archers standing beside a lever that opens part of the gate. Now, follow the main path ahead and prepare for a lengthy elevator journey.

Engage in the adventure at ‘Beneath the Forgotten Temple’ (Blade Nexus), and converse with Daphrona who offers multiple dialogue options and enables the use of Soulstones. These stones can either boost your Health Recovery or Lacrima count, based on your decision. After concluding your conversation with Daphrona, retrace your steps to the main route. There, you’ll encounter a ‘Double-Edge Butcher’. Overcome it, and ascend the stairs on your left to discover interactive statues.

How to Stop the Forgotten Temple’s Spinning Mechanism In The First Berserker: Khazan

Engage with the dragonkin figures and align them so they all point in the same direction as the others in their row. This action will cause the platform to rise, enabling you to descend, traverse a ladder to ascend, and manipulate machinery to halt the initial rotation of the device. Then, make your way down the ladder, continue straight, then turn right to discover the Depths of the Forgotten Temple (Blade Nexus). If you have enough Lacrima, enhance your attributes, and then climb the stairs. Stick to the main path, and you’ll eventually reach an area inhabited by dragonkin. Settle matters with them and gather any items before moving on up the stairs.

In this stage of the game, you’ll come across your initial formidable adversary, who is significantly more powerful than the enemies you’ve encountered previously.

Soulstone #3 in Forgotten Temple

Following my battle with the Elite Foe, I found myself tasked with a peculiar mission – rotating the statues so they align with those adorning the wall. This seemingly simple action triggered the platform to elevate while lowering the statues on the walls, unveiling a Soulstone concealed within. Armed with my trusty Javelin, I obliterated this enigmatic artifact before moving left to interact with another intricate machine, halting its rapid rotation.

Descending the stairs that followed, I turned right and then left, spotting the hidden steps leading further downwards. A group of undead adversaries stood in my path, but their slow pace allowed me to swiftly bypass them and reach the ladder at journey’s end. Following the main route led me to yet another machine, where I halted the spinning mechanism for the second time.

Continuing my descent, I eventually arrived at the final machine, which brought an end to the device’s spinning motion entirely, effectively shutting it down completely.

Make your way to the elevator, where you’ll encounter a formidable foe known as the “Revenant of Hardship”. This adversary drops valuable items called “Tears of Circulation”. Collect these and you can summon an aid, the “Spirit of Advocacy”, to join you in the heat of boss battles. Once you’ve reached your destination via the elevator, simply pull the lever to open the gate into the boss arena. Before engaging the boss of Mission 3, remember to rest at the “Sanctuary of the Forgotten Temple” (Blade Nexus).
