The Archaic Temple, also referred to as the Temple of Doom or the Tweested Temple, is a location in The Pillary Ruins that first appeared in the eponymous episode "The Tweested Temple". It is a large temple constructed in the year 2,763, according to Purple Face, who offers tours of the place. Inside the temple are six totems, four of which are cursed and, according to Four, curse the person who wields them for a thousand years.

Appearance

The Archaic Temple is a broken down and long-abandoned archaic temple built out of bricks. It is built into a large cliffside and is described by Gelatin as being moist. The lobby has a fountain that still functions to this day. The temple appears to be very large based on Leafy's map of it, although most of it was not explored in its debut episode. The temple is heavily overgrown with vegetation, and one room is filled with vines.

Appearances

• Battle for BFB
  • "The Tweested Temple"
  • "The Hidden Contestant" (flashback)
  • "B.F.B. = Back From Beginning"
• Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two
  • "I SAID CAREFUL!!!"

Battle for BFB

The temple first appears in "The Tweested Temple", where the challenge is to retrieve a totem from inside. Purple Face offers a tour, though he loses most of the contestants as they walk away. He kicks out the remaining two, Leafy and Woody, for annoying him.

In "The Hidden Contestant", the stairs of the temple briefly appear in Profily's flashback of "The Tweested Temple".

A similar temple appears in "B.F.B. = Back From Beginning", located in the Northern Desert. It is presumably not the same temple, as the interior is different.

Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two

In "I SAID CAREFUL!!!", a flashback shows that Match is flung to The Pillary Ruins due to the storm. She visits the temple but is grossed out and says "yucksicles." On her way out of the temple, she finds Bubble and Ruby splashing around in puddles.

Trivia

• It is unknown who constructed the temple, let alone if Purple Face is correct about the temple being built 2,763 years ago. The temple might have been built in 2763 BC instead of AD.
• The Archaic Temple is suggested to be covered in vomit by Flower. However, only a single totem was repelled by Flower's sweaters.
• It is possible that the name "Temple of Doom" refers to the Indiana Jones movie of the same name.
• The temple may be based on the Parthenon, an ancient Greek temple with a similar structure to the temple.
  • The temple also loosely resembles the Temple of Concordia in Agrigento, Italy, and ancient Roman temples in various countries around the world, especially in the Mediterranean Basin or former Roman Empire.
