Info[]

Olmec stands right by the temple with a gate by the stairs, which leads down to The Cave of Sighs, or up to The Room of the Three Gargoyles. You can then go left into The Wall Climb, where you have to choose your next path. Depending on which door opens, you will either end up in The Observatory, The Heart Room, or The Throne Room. Going in from whatever direction, you can go even further left and up into The Room of the Golden Idols, or down into The Swamp. Going left from those two rooms, you will end up in The Tomb of the Ancient Kings, or The Shrine of the Silver Monkey upstairs. Finally, you can go straight through either to The Mine Shaft, or up into The Torch Room. The Temple was laid out in various different ways, see the various Temple Layouts.
