Oct 21, 2013 - No, it's not something like where to go, or something noobish about the controls, but it seems very difficult to get a suave, evil smoothtalking. Oct 17, 2017 - After the introductory FMV, you find yourself at the entrance to the Temple of Trials. You could turn around and attack Klint, the guy guarding the.

It's a peaceful village. Except for the plants possessed by evil spirits…and of course, the temple of trials filled with those deadly spear traps and the man-eating giant ants.

Background[editedit source]
The Temple of Trials was built on the ruins of an older Pre-War building, most likely a church or museum. The carved head at the entrance and some of the carvings/wall decorations on the three sub-levels were done by the Arroyo inhabitants.[1][2]
Its purpose is to prove if someone is worthy for their role in the village as a leader of society or the savior one [3][4]
In 2210 the Vault Dweller's daughter takes her mystic test, a key ingredient of which is several pots worth of hallucinogenic plants from Hakunin's garden. She runs the gauntlet in the Temple of Trials, using her charm to pass most of the tests after her handgun jams (and is ruined) on the first level. She offers numerous criticisms of the test, resulting in many revisions.[5]
In 2241 like his mother few decades earlier, the Chosen One descended into the Temple and completed mystic test.[6]

Game mechanics[editedit source]
- Test of the player's combat skills in the fight against giant ants and small radscorpions
- Or sneak ability, allowing player to avoid few enemies
- Usage of lockpick, to open the door
- Usage of explosives, to destroy the door
- Possibility to use healing powder or antidote, showing basic of damage system
- Example of traps
Cameron[editedit source]
- Fight him unarmed after a conversation (and without access to your Healing Powder nor Spear) for 300 xp.
- Steal his key and unlock the door behind his back for 600 xp.
- Talk him out of fighting (IN 4 required and Speech must be tagged) for 600 xp.
Tricks[editedit source]
- Attack your foe just once, then use your remaining AP to run away. They'll follow you, but may not have enough AP to strike back, which will simplify things. You can even run them around in circles if they refuse to die quickly. Masklinn adds: 'Actually, the Temple of Trials mobs (ants and scorpions) can only walk 2 hexes and still be able to hit you. All you have to do is run 3 hexes away from them and you're safe. This means that a character with 9 AP can land two punches before you have to run, 10 AP granting you one Spear attack and one punch, or one kick and one punch. So basically a character at or above Agility 8 will do the temple a tad faster and easier.'
- Player can drop a spear before the battle with Cameron occurs, allowing him to use it during the battle. However, if you drop it too close to the man, he'll pick it up in his first round and whack you up pretty good. One can even drop a Sharpened Pole for him to pick up; he'll do a little more damage with it, but he should hit a little less often, and he gets two attacks with it each turn instead of three.
Notes[editedit source]
- There's no point to using targeted blows in Temple of Trials or just afterwards, since critical hits are disabled for the first day of game time. Critical failures are disabled for the first five days.

Don't even ask. They probably had it sitting around, along with that handgun in the Elder's tent in the opening movie. The entire Temple of Trials thing is one big mystery and is pretty implausible - the sliding mechanical doors are what really confuse me. I think it came down to an art decision.
Anyway, the story I'm sticking to in the official universe is that the Temple of Trials is actually built on an existing abandoned church - or museum.' - ↑Elder intro: 'Come in, Chosen One. There are things you must know. The village is dying. The signs are everywhere. Withering crops... dying brahmin... sick children. There is hope, however. A slim hope that few know of. The old disks speak of an item called the Garden of Eden Creation Kit. It is said it can bring life to the wasteland.
This will be your quest if you prove yourself worthy. For that proof, you must first journey to the Temple of Trials. If you survive, come back to me; we will talk more. Our life is in your hands, Chosen One. Prove yourself. Find the GECK. Be our salvation.' - ↑Klint: '{117}{}{Forgive me, but I have no answers to your questions.

Detailed walkthroughEdit
Enter the temple and the player character will find themselves in a hallway. Kill the ants and press forward, exploring the side rooms and corridors. Open the second door using whatever Lockpick skill available to the player character. Kill everything, loot the chests, pots and bones.
On the second map the Chosen One will probably start spotting floor traps. If they don't, they can walk to and fro to make it happen, unless they have a woefully low Perception. Should they have the patience, they can disarm the traps for 25 XP each. If one is reckless and sets off a trap, one can pick up the sharpened pole which nearly lodged in your chest (or maybe did). To avoid the traps altogether, keep to the right-hand wall. At one point the Chosen One is required to set an explosive charge (found in a tall pot nearby) in front of a door, which shouldn't be too difficult. Beware of the trap on the doorstep.
At the entrance to the inner sanctum the Chosen One finds Cameron, who represents their final test. There are three ways to get past him:
- Fight him unarmed after a conversation (and without access to healing powder) for 300 XP.
- Steal his key and unlock the door behind his back for 600 XP.
- Talk him out of fighting (Intelligence 4 or more required and Speech must be tagged) for 600 XP.
