Luma Island isn’t a story-heavy game, but there are some secrets to discover on the island and about the town that you can discover through finding Ancient Keys. There are four in total, and you can only get them by unlocking Ancient Temples in each of the biomes.
The Ancient Farm Temple is where you’ll find your first key, but by the time you get to The Forest, you’ll need to find three Forgotten Tablets to unlock the door to the Temple that houses the next Ancient Key in Luma Island. There’s no real indication of where to find these tablets, and you need to solve some puzzles and fight some enemies before you can get your hands on them. Here is where you can find them all.

Luma Island has 15 different Mysterious Eggs you can find and hatch to grow your Luma collection. Here is where you can find and hatch them.
Forgotten Tablet A Location
The first Tablet can be found in the Overgrown Forest Temple. There are three in total, and they each act as a mini-dungeon where you need to solve puzzles and navigate some dangerous rooms to get to the end. This temple can be found on the South-West side of The Forest, in the area just before you cross the large river to the other side. From the Forest entrance, if you follow the path right and keep going forward, you should stumble into it.
To open the Temple, you need to give offerings of Spirits and some materials to the two braziers right in front of the temple. You need to complete the entire Temple in order to get the tablet, and here’s how to get through each room:
Room |
Solution |
---|---|
1 |
Nothing particularly special is in this room, so just go forward and head through the door. |
2 |
Navigate past the rolling spike traps on the floor to get to the door. |
3 |
This room will have some bats in that you need to kill. |
4 |
Time it that you walk past the wall traps shooting discs safely, and be careful of a tile on the left of the exit door which will drop a rock on you. |
5 |
Get past the wall traps quickly, and then kill the bats on the far side of the room. |
6 |
Rotate the fire breathing statue on the left twice, then go around to rotate the statue on the right once. Loop around to the other side, and rotate the right-side statue again to walk past it. Walk toward the third statue and rotate it once. Loop around again to the other side of the third statue and rotate it once again, then rotate the last statue so you can get to the door. |
7 |
There are small gaps alongside the wall that you can use to get past the rolling spike traps. Just be careful – because the gap on the left holds a trap which drops a rock on you. |
8 |
Time it so you get past the wall traps. |
9 |
The last room is where you can find Forgotten Tablet A and a Mysterious Egg in the treasure chest. |
Forgotten Tablet B Location
The second tablet can be found in the Deserted Forest Temple, but to find this one, you will need to find a way to cross the river. To do so, follow the path right from the entrance to The Forest, but when you get to the river, go left and enter the Lost Forest Cave. Walk through the cave, and you’ll find yourself on the other side of the river. Before moving forward, walk around the pond and find a large tree trunk that you can push down for an easier way to access the other side of the river.
To get to the Temple, travel to the Northernmost tip of the Forest, and you’ll see the door. To get it open, you need to find bird-like statues on each side of the door and rotate them to point toward the large crystal above it. Once inside, you need to navigate rooms with puzzles in order to get the Forgotten Tablet:
Room |
Solution |
---|---|
1 |
The first room is simple. Just kill the bats and walk through the door. |
2 |
Avoiding the spikes, walk right and follow the path until you see the switch on the left side of the room. Use your whip to flip the switch, then loop around again to walk through the door. |
3 |
Navigate around the moving spikes on the floor to get to the other side of the room. |
4 |
Before you continue, kill the mushroom on the left side of the room. Then rotate each of the fire-breathing statues once and navigate the floor spikes to get to the other side. |
5 |
Flip the switch on the far left side, then the closest switch on the right side to solve the puzzle in this room. |
6 |
Kill the mushroom on the right side of the room, then hop between the two spike traps on the floor. |
7 |
Go immediately right when you enter the room and follow the path to rotate the fire-breathing statue once. Loop back to the entrance, and go up the stairs in front of the wall trap. Follow the path and rotate the second fire-breathing statue once. Then follow the path from the entrance to the other side of the room to flip the switch and open the door. |
8 |
There are gaps along the walls where the spike traps are moving so you can get past them and rotate the fire-breathing statues on either side. |
9 |
Kill the bats and grab the Ancient Book in this room. |
10 |
There are small blocks in the middle of the large spike traps where you can rest and dodge the traps. |
11 |
You made it to the last room! Pick up the treasure chest and Tablet, and leave the Temple. |
Forgotten Tablet C Location
The last forgotten Tablet can be found in the Hidden Forest Temple. This is deeper into The Forest, and you can get there by finding the mud river on the East side of the Forest and crossing it. The mud will suck you in if you spend too much time in it, so make sure to walk toward the rocks and planks as you cross it. Once you’ve reached the other side, travel right to the South-Western corner of The Forest, and you should see the Temple hiding here.
To open it, you need to flip the switches on two statues nearby within a specific amount of time. To make this easier for yourself, be sure to get rid of the Mushrooms using your whip so you don’t lose balance and take longer between the statues. Once you’ve flipped both switches, you can start making your way through the Temple:
Room |
Solution |
---|---|
1 |
The first room is safe, so just walk through the door to progress. |
2 |
This room has a ton of floor spikes that you need to navigate around to get to the other side. |
3 |
Use the gaps along the walls to make your way past the moving floor traps, then destroy the Spider Web to get through the door. |
4 |
Rotate the fire-breathing statue on the right twice. Follow the path forward and rotate the statue in the middle twice. Follow the path right around to the statue on the right, and rotate it twice. Stay here, and rotate the statue in the middle of the room twice. Still staying in this area, rotate the statue on the left once. Loop around to the left side of the room, rotating the statue in the middle once again so you can get past it. Navigate through the room and rotate the remaining statues so you can get through the door. If you ever get lost, you can reset the room at the switch after the first two statues. |
5 |
Wait until the spikes disappear, then walk through to the other side of the room. |
6 |
Kill the bats and walk to the door on the other side. |
7 |
Navigate past the wall traps in front of the entrance, kill the bat, and then make your way to the other side of the room. |
8 |
Navigate around the spiked floor traps to get to the exit. |
9 |
Walk straight over the part that looks like it’s a cavernous drop – it’s only an illusion! |
10 |
Rotate the fire-breathing statue on the right (closest to the entrance) once, then rotate the statue on the left once. Walk up the left-side stairs covered by a Spider Web, then rotate the next two statues once. Navigate slightly back until you see a large rock, destroy it, and then follow the pathway down the stairs. First, head right and rotate the third statue by the entrance once. Loop completely back to where you came from, following the path, and rotate the remaining three statues once. Now, head all the way back to the entrance and go down the stairs on the right, and you’ll reach the exit. |
11 |
This is the final room of the Temple, grab the treasure and Tablet, and you’ll be good to go! |
How to Use Forgotten Tablets
Forgotten Tablets can be used to open the door to the Ancient Forest Temple, where you will find some rare materials locked away in chests. Most importantly, though, this is where you will find the second Ancient Key to unlock the Ancient Temple in town.
The Ancient Forest Temple can be found very close to the entrance of the Forest. Just follow the short path left as you enter the area, and you’ll find the Temple – along with Old Man Jeffrey, who will explain a little vaguely what you need to do in order to get the Temple open. But, once you have the Tablets, you’ll be one step closer to solving the mystery of Luma Island.
