General Information[]
Temples give rewards to the player for filling up their faith meter completely with either violence or wisdom respectively. When the faith meter is filled, a temple will be spawned on the map, often located far away from the main dungeon rooms. Temples can be reached only using any portal stone once they spawn. The faith meter will be emptied once the player leaves the temple after collecting a reward.
Temple of Ares[]
Temple of Ares can be reached by filling up the faith meter entirely with violence.
Appearance[]
Rewards[]
The player must sacrifice 1 heart container (empty or full) before they are presented the rewards. Depending on the progress of the upgrade tree, there can be anywhere from 3-5 rewards to choose from. Once a reward is taken, the others will disappear. Rewards in the Temple of Ares are more offensive and demonically themed.
Token[]
Each time the player enters a devil room and sacrifices a heart container, a background object can be seen filling up. In the third sacrifice of the run, the meter will be full, and an Ares token will spawn after their reward is collected. The token will start following the player as if it was an egg and will allow the player to access floor 8 (violence-themed) where they can fight Ares or Cursed Ares.
Floor 8[]
If the faith meter is filled with violence on a violence-themed floor 8, the temple will spawn, but players will be sent to the Cursed Ares fight instead of the reward room.
Temple of Athena[]
Temple of Athena can be reached by filling up the faith meter entirely with wisdom.
Appearance[]
Rewards[]
The player is presented with 2 rewards to choose from. Once a reward is taken, the others will disappear. Rewards in the Temple of Athena are more defensive and wisdom/crystal-themed.
Token[]
An Athena token will spawn as soon as the player enters the temple. The token will start following the player as if it was an egg and will allow the player to access floor 8 (wisdom-themed) where they can fight Athena or Cursed Athena.
Floor 8[]
If the faith meter is filled with wisdom on a wisdom-themed floor 8, the temple will spawn, but players will be sent to the Cursed Athena fight instead of the reward room.
