Are there any (written) temple guides made for complete idi*ts like me?

This legend made a great post

Raxxanterax has the simplest to follow guide imo, not sure if it's outdated at this point though haven't been following the hotfixes.

I feel this on so many levels

Fubguns video does a good job explaining it , milkybk also has a some simpler videos. Explaining by text is kind of hard because there is 3-4 strategies to build your temple

Dude I feel the same way. I just got done resetting my temple and I’m procrastinating the rebuild because every guide video is like 30 minutes of trash

Place room,run temple, lock chain if you get medallion to lock it. There you go hope thats simple enough for you

https://sulozor.github.io/#/atziri-temple , choose easy temple , start from the left snake, place 1 room at the time. Rooms u don't need go in the middle. That's it.Also don't expect it to get done fast, even easy temple takes 30-40 hours to finish, some temples could take up to 200 hours....

I want to point out that this isn’t a complete guide because I haven’t finished nor will I be able to thanks to RNG and my inability to “no life” this game. But here’s what i understand so far..

When it comes to starting off. And staring your first parts of chains.

From start to left. Put a barracks (red flag) then put a spymaster (green and blue science thing) when you do that the red flag will turn into a blueish green flag called a legion barracks.after spymaster put another barracks (red flag) it will immediately change to a legion barracks (blueish green flag) put an armory (cuirass or body armor)…

Do it again and again chaining all the way around.

Then as you run the temple those rooms other than the armory’s have chances to drop a medallion upon completion.. the medallion you want is a “juiotls medallion” this is called a lock medallion..

After each temple run about. 10% of the rooms with get deleted.. this is called a destabilization… the destabilization has a rule that no “islands” are allowed to be created from the destabilization. So after you run the temple and when you leave go back to the original console and use one of the lock medallions that you hopefully have gotten from your run on the chain you are working towards.. put the lock on the farthest room way from the start..

Any rooms that are not the chain rooms should be thrown in the middle to hopefully get destabilized instead of your chain.. but that is a random chance you have to take until you start getting reliably enough locks to always hopefully have one at the end of your run.

When you first start doing temples on a new character.. go to the architect as many times as you can and defeat him he will drop a medallion that allows you to have more crystals.. the way you open the temple in the first place is by getting 6 crystals but if you beat the architect he will drop a medallion that increases your total crystal max by 6.. you can get 10 of these to have a max of 60 crystals.. if you clear maps enough without running temples you can stockpile to max crystals and run the temple OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Without having to load multiple maps..

Once you get enough of the

Barracks Spymaster Barracks Armory Barracks Spymaster Barracks Armory

Chain and you feel like you are getting enough locked consistently,

You can stop at the armory start a new type of “sandwich”

I haven’t gotten this far as I can’t seem to get enough spymasters…

Note* the spymasters level up the barracks.. but the only way to level up the spymasters masters is for a spymasters room to get destabilized.. once that happens a random spymasters that didn’t get destabilized will level up.

If you get a bunch of spymasters (good luck incant get them) then you could put the spymasters in your chain like you normally would.. then at the end of your temple run put the lock on the legion barracks just before the spymaster to hopefully get it to destabilize and level up another spymasters already on your chain.

You can use a level up medallion on a room only once… then you cannot use the level up medallion on that room again..

Hope this helps…

Another note* there will be times that you don’t have locks and you have to close the temple and just pray your hard work doesn’t get destroyed… as a working dad this happened to me and destroyed all my ability to give a fuck… but hopefully this helps you get all the loot possible and get those divs!!

Good luck

The only really important part you need to understand is that you want to protect your rooms from being removed by making long chains of rooms. Anything beyond that is just optimization for hardcore farming. Also, killing the architect will remove way more rooms, so if you wanna build up your temple just leave the objectives alone.

A hot tip for making a very basic temple give you some decent value is to get a level 3 sacrificial chamber and then just do everything you can to keep it alive. It alone will make every temple run worth 10+ div.
