Dragon Quest Builders 2 - How to get to the secret underground temple (Guide)

[@Chanterla1kuyoma]

My personal theory, the monsters from malhalla were going to join you in the end and this underground temple was going to be the part of the island they develop, but due to time constraints, or engine limitations they couldn't add them, so they had to write them off as being stuck in the world between worlds and this part being forgotten

[@MuradZero]

Cool maybe this is why hermit was stuck there as well. -MD

[@opposedhealer1826]

I just watched the stream for the newest update and the Arc monsters will be a huge part of it. I think it’s highly likely this place will be integrated into the added content.

[@cassianpicaro]

Danielle Bruns yeah we are going to get a new update soon for an epilogue, and i really want to see Aristotle again

[@necromancer1983x]

I didn't know this place existed until I talked to Hellen after transferring all my old monster friends from the new epilogue island, she mentioned it was where Malroth slept, no idea if they've added anything else to do with it. Sad they finally patched out that building items for free by blowing up wardrobes gltich, was such a good one.

[@cassianpicaro]

Bruce Ingram thanks for the epilogue spoiler. It’s not even up for 24 hours yet and i still need to go to uni before being able to play it. again, thankyou very very much for the stupid spoiler.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

I just found out about this recently from dialogue with Hellen after you rescue the Ark in the new update. Apparently this is where Malroth was recovering between the time Hargon brought him to this world and the time he meets you on the beach at the beginning. Though it would make sense if an earlier idea was to have the temple appear after the Moonbrooke chapter and have Malroth transform into a monster there. That being said grand as this place is Malhalla makes a better final dungeon.

[@jasonmnosaj]

OMG FINALLY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS! I was stumped for 3 weeks like "why the fuck is this here?" Esther the nun gives you a hint about the evil energy under the island and when I found the underwater cave I was like, "OH YEAH!" but I haven't seen a single video about it or read anything. THANK YOU!

[@hyruleansoldier3157]

Pro tip: fastest entrance early game is digging in below the sand from the east side. You can break through one of the glass-stained windows. You'll end up in the hidden part of the citadel. Every block is collectible once you have the Sledgehammer, except the outer walls and bottom floor, and the "iron bars" leading to the underwater entrance on the west side. Best to pick up the Broken citadel blocks with your gloves as they'll be turned into stones when smashed.

[@stl-xx5rq]

This temple has another secret room in it. Also, note that you need to finish the main story to smash the bars.

[@jasonmnosaj]

You're right! There is another room behind the wall at the far end of the temple. It's just odd. There both empty. The weirdest part is that the music stops when you are in the secret room behind the temple. There is definitely something to this place. But it is probably DLC related so I guess we won't know for awhile.

[@brianbailey607]

I found it to it's behind the big sign in the middle of the room

[@TheLuchaDork]

You don't need to finish the main game to get inside. There are a couple of small windows that you can dig down to and break into the smaller room on the center of the East side of the structure.

[@jacklewis2491]

break the clover carving in the middle for another room

[@Starcat5]

BenXC found this in the demo, but never showed it off in the final game. Thanks for pointing out the normal entrance, I didn't feel like digging in through a window.

[@kineiya]

There's a new update 8/20/19 according to the live stream and has something to do with the ark and a letter with a code.

[@RainbowYoshi37]

i've known about the secret temple for a while. my question is this: why did they not connect it to a secret 4th area? like, just build and place a Helliportal in there, and boom, you have access to a secret area. why did they not do that?

[@myrithial817]

Behind the Citadel Cross Carving in the center is another secret room. Nothing more to be found inside but it is there. You'll have to destroy some cracked citadel wall blocks to get through.

[@silverbane8065]

Ah, finally you can bash the bars? I tried in the demo versions but nothing was collectable. Does it become bashable after the endgame? You could use this area to build the chapel of the children of hargon down there to get that done lol, or does it not register? I saw an old vid last week, a guy placed the wood fired bathtub up on the hammer tile. He had built walls directly next to three sides, and filled the front area with 2 washtubs. When he exited the tub there was nowhere next to it for his char to go, and it placed him directly into the open space of the hidden temple beneath him lol. But it was in Japanese version and was possibly patched out?

[@VintageDoggoDude]

I never knew how to get here without digging, thanks ^^ also on a side note, how do I get the npcs to use my small dye works? I've built it nearby the crops but they never do anything with it?

[@MuradZero]

Assign a Living Guardian or a Stone Guardian to the Dye Workshop. -MD

[@ahmedrami3309]

I think its a hidden level or something that they removed from the game an was lazy to deleted it so they cover it or maybe its an upcoming dlc

[@littlemoth4956]

What are you talking about? Your ramblings don't make sense.

[@JoseRoberto-dk3yy]

There reminds me to the area where you get into the final boss fight (part 1)

[@gamblelol]

I think you can find a useless invisible monster in the place, no drops though

[@Evethir]

Ar 2:00 how can you build that far away?

[@Fabyskan]

Yeah I need to know that aswell xd

[@jetpackindustry]

Complete all the tablet targets to get the binoculars.

[@Evethir]

I'm at chapter 3 atm so I gues it will take some time to get it then :)

[@samvimes9510]

@@jetpackindustry are you fucking kidding me? I have to grind out tablet targets just to be able to build that far away? That's so stupid, something like that shouldn't be locked behind so many prerequisites.

[@purplegreyandpink]

what's its purpose?

[@jasonmnosaj]

I kinda wanna just rebuild the place. But other then That maybe it has DLC? Could also be part of a free update. (WARNING SPOILERS) I mean we never see our monster friends from the last chapter again. So maybe this connects us to them? There is also Sculkatraz. It's on the map but not accessible. There is still a lot to this game that I think they will be giving us later. You got to remember this games competing with a lot of other creat/survival games. They have to keep it fresh. Especially since the multiplayer isn't being used that much. Witch is a shame really becuase it has a lot of potential.

[@Starcat5]

@@jasonmnosaj Minor update: there was a Japanese stream announcing that the Arc crew will be returning via an update to the Buildertopia island(s). So good news on that front, but still no clue as to the underground temple.

[@jasonmnosaj]

@@Starcat5 there also mentioning an epilogue. That could be where Malroth was first summoned from. I do remember in the secound original DQ game that Hargon Summoned Malroth from an island in the ocean that had sunk. This is just a theory but the isle of awakening could be the sunken island arisen by Hargon to re-summon Malroth.

[@Starcat5]

@@jasonmnosaj Nice catch. You might be on to something there. Mind you, it would be less arisen so much as never sank, given the nature of DQB2's world.

[@jasonmnosaj]

@@Starcat5 very good point. After watching all of the live stream I don't think my theory would hold up anyway. It seems primarily focused on the gang from Malhala.
