How To Unlock The Ancient Forest Temple In Luma Island

You’ll need quite a few offerings if you want to get into the locked ruins on your farm.

Your first hint about this is usually the Ancient Farm Temple near your home, but it isn’t the only mysterious location you can visit and explore. Another massive temple sits by the entrance to the Forest, but you won’t get its doors open unless you unlock it with the Forgotten Tablets.

After you repair the town bridge and gain access to the Forest, follow the path to the north, and you’ll quickly reach a mountainous area covered in ruins and a temple by the rock wall.

To open the temple, you’ll need three key items: Forgotten Tablet A, Forgotten Tablet B, and Forgotten Tablet C. For the first Forgotten Tablet, you have to find the Overgrown Forest Temple, which is located on the western side of the Forest.

Follow the path across the first gap and over to the canyon that separates the western and eastern sides of the Forest, then go down the path that wraps around the cliff.

At the end of the path, you’ll find the Overgrown Forest Temple, which has two Empty Offering Braziers on each side of the entrance archway.

If you’re visiting the temple at night, Ghosts will spawn near the doorway and along the path toward it, but they can easily be killed in a few hits with an upgraded Whip .

Each one needs three Forest Stones and one Forest Resin put into it, and as soon as both are lit up, the door to the Overgrown Forest Temple will open.

To get to the second Forest Temple, you’ll need to gain access to the eastern side of the Forest. Go to the left side of the lake on the western side, and you’ll find an entrance to the Hidden Forest Caves at the edge of the water, near the path and a ruined building.

Watch out for the new Leech Nest enemies as you follow the path towards the north, and you’ll come to a mountainous area with a lot of rocks and ruins around it, and a closed temple entrance.

Like the other Forest temples, Ghosts will spawn in the ruins and near the doorway if you visit it at night.
