:CHALLENGE: The lost Temples

[DreadsEye]

Ok guys, as the Temple of Delaxroma is soon to be finished , here is the post update on it!:

The temple is now ready to be played!

Chapter 3: The Temple of Delaxroma

Interlude: One remains unconvinced

As the 3 gods gathered once again, their conversation gets heated

Loxderama turned to her oldest brother: Maradolex my brother, the Player has fulfilled all that you wanted him to. Can you still claim that i was wrong on judging him?

Maradolex was convinced, now that he saw what the player was capable of: My sister, you were right. The player truly is equal amongst us. The player has been fast and he has been brave. He withstood the tests of speed and fire. He knew where to build the Blocks. He is rightfully on this world. We may return now, and live alongside with the player.

I told you he would be worthy! What do you say Delaxroma?

Delaxroma remained silent for a while, then he answered: I can not agree with you. What the player did, he did for himself. He knew how to survive and how to hunt for treasures, but only because this is the only way to live on the surface we created. He knew how to be fast and how to build shelter, but only because this is what it requires to survive and become successful!

But what more would you want from him? This is how to be successful, as you said. This is the way of living, as we intended it!

No, this is the way that you both intended it! He still has not proven that he has abilities among those that are required! Would you claim a pig to be an outstanding pig because it eats and reproduces? No, because this is what you would expect of it! An outstanding pig would be one that has abilities beyond that, like opening a door, or running as fast as the wind! The same way I do think of the player. He is nothing but an animal!

Well brother, since you were the one who proposed to test the player, i do believe you have prepared something for him too?

Indeed i did. I will test if the player has learned things , that he did not need to learn. If we want to know if he is conscious, we need to test his mind. So i will do exactly this.

So shall it be
So shall it be


The Perks of this temple:

- You will need to use your brain.
- You may need to think outside the box
- You should understand the very basics of redstone (Only basics though)
- You should understand the very basics of Piston mechanics (again, only basics, nothing special)


How to visit this temple

- Enter the Shrine of Delaxroma. The Shrine is a small building, that you can find within 1 minute of walk to the other shrines. The coordinates of the shrine are around x = -614, z = 527 (y=69)
- come with full health, full food bar.
- This time you must bring NOTHING AT ALL! NO SACRIFICE, NO FOOD, NO ARMOUR! EMPTY INVENTORY!
- Survive the temple until the end.

The rewards in this temple:

(Thanks to gazoid for sponsoring the rewards!)

Once again, there are rewards in the temple! The system is very similar to the one you already know!

There are 9 rewards for the first 9 players to finish the temple.
- 6 of them are iron axes. The axe is the chosen tool of Delaxroma
- 3 of them are holy items:
- The Axe of Delaxroma (Enchanted Diamond Axe)
- The Boots of Delaxroma (Enchanted Diamond Boots)
- The Cloak of Mystery (???)

Have fun , and I hope to see you soon !

Awesome. I think I'll succeed at this one. But I'm a little behind, gotta finish the other temple first. TO MINECRAFTIA

Ok guys, the temple of Delaxroma is ready ! one slight update, the pants are now boots.

[lumberjack_b]

Woohoo! First one through The Temple of Delaxroma. Great puzzles! Got an Iron Axe. I missed the first two. This one made me want to go back and do the others!

[Pestilencemage]

Finished Delaxroma temple, Also got an Iron Axe.

This one is very different from the others, requireing a keen mind over agility. Some of the puzzles there are genious (ie: piston puzzle), and others seem to have life lessons they teach in their workings.
Temple 1 was the most dangerous, requireing agility and reaction and punishing the slow in mind or body with a quick death. The only temple that poses a real threat to your life.
Temple 2 was required Total agility to succeed. There were some brain tests in there as well, but it was mostly about control of motion. Allowing food insured your safety (and sanity if you lagged).
Temple 3 was the thinking temple. some top puzzles in there. Not much threat of death unless you take too long then take a minor fall while starved. I struggled with that 1st door...

Awesome temple. Delaxroma is my favorite god now. I succeeded and claimed my iron axe. I have offically claimed a symbol of each god!

What do you guys have in store for us now?

[DreadsEye]

1.) Theres now a poll. IF YOU HAVE PLAYED ALL 3 TEMPLES, PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR VOTE IN THE POLL

2.) Right now there is an INCREDIBLY good chance of getting a holy reward in the temple of Delaxroma! Be fast now!


3.) Further projects? Well let me say this: The legacy of the 3 gods has not ended yet.

I got the Holy Axe of Delaxroma. I'll trade it for the boots though, because I must finish my Holy Set.

While trying to find the portal to the ender tunnel over-ground I happened to stumble upon a puzzle in the jungle, fortunately it was night time (Yeah, I'm a total badass) so I was able to spy the torches and high leafy-walkway that lead down to the puzzle itself. Just wanted to say that it was very well done, I did of course have all my items on me but that's only because finding it was a total accident, wasn't aware of this thread so I inadvertently broke the rules in that regard. There was no reward though for me at the end though, so no worries!
