The first time I stumbled upon the Forgotten Temple, a pack of wild Kweebecs nearly turned me into pixel dust. My sword arm ached, my health bar was blinking, and I knew I needed sanctuary fast. That blue glow in the distance wasn’t just a landmark; it was a lifeline. Hytale‘s map is dotted with places to discover, but the Forgotten Temple, with its promise of restored Memories, is where you should set your coordinates first.
This point of interest (POI) sits close to your starting location, making it a prime early destination. The real treasure lies within: the ability to exchange Memories for rewards. This guide will show you how to pinpoint the Forgotten Temple and activate its power.
Forgotten Temple: Your Starting Point
Remember scavenger hunts as a kid? The thrill of the chase, the cryptic clues? While the Forgotten Temple’s precise location shifts with each playthrough, it’s always helpfully flagged on your HUD. Think of it as the game’s way of saying, “Welcome, adventurer. The path awaits.”
Your heads-up display (HUD) features a navigation bar displaying important waypoints. Initially, you’ll see markers pointing to your bed and death points (if applicable, obviously). The Forgotten Temple icon appears immediately after logging in.
The marker looks like a teleporter with a center circle surrounded by four arrow shapes. Just tail the marker until you arrive. While accessible early on, I’d advise coming prepared.
During my initial trek, I met more than a few hostile creatures. Enemy types will vary, but packing decent gear is a must for survival.
Close by, you’ll see an opening that leads to the statue. Descend the stairs to discover a blue portal. A Golem guards the entrance. Dodge its attacks and try to bypass it; this lumbering giant shouldn’t pose much of a threat if you’re quick.
Restoring Memories: Giving the Heart of Orbis What it Needs
Ever walked into a museum and felt the weight of history? The Heart of Orbis in Hytale evokes a similar sensation. Approach the statue inside the Forgotten Temple, and it glows. Interact with it (usually the ‘F’ key), and a message confirms that you’ve enabled Memories.
Once activated, Memories can be gathered from various places. Enemies, creatures, and even certain NPCs may offer them as rewards.
Return to the Heart of Orbis and activate the displayed prompt to restore collected Memories. As you restore them, you get new rewards: craftable items, recipes, and even teleporters.
What Kind of Rewards Do You Get for Restoring Memories?
Think of Memories as a currency – a way to gain influence in the game. By restoring Memories, players can craft otherwise unobtainable items that are essential for exploring dangerous new areas. Teleporters significantly reduce travel time, and new recipes expand your crafting capabilities. Each Memory restored contributes towards character progression.
How Often Can I Restore Memories?
Restoring Memories has no cooldown. As long as you have Memories available, you can restore them at the Heart of Orbis. This creates a continuous feedback loop, incentivizing exploration and combat to gain more Memories and access better tools for survival.
Can Other Players Steal My Restored Memories?
Your progress is tied to your profile, not the Heart of Orbis itself. While other players can interact with the statue, they cannot interfere with your Memory restoration or steal rewards you have already claimed.
The Forgotten Temple is more than just a landmark; it is the central nervous system of your Hytale adventure. Have you already begun plotting your path, or are you waiting for the perfect moment to strike out for the unknown?
