As you explore Hytale’s world, you’ll quickly encounter new creatures, yet nothing will get recorded at first. To start logging those encounters, you’ll first need to find the Forgotten Temple, which will unlock the Memory system and let you track new creature sightings. As the name suggests, Memories in Hytale act as a running record of every creature you come across, much like a bestiary that fills out as you explore. So, to unlock Memories and start building out your log, here’s how to find the Forgotten Temple in Hytale.
Hytale: How to Find the Forgotten Temple and Unlock Memories
Memories are one of the most important progression systems in Hytale, even if the game doesn’t fully explain them at first. They act as a living record of the wildlife you come across while exploring, gradually filling up as you move through different biomes and zones.
To unlock Memories in Hytale, you’ll need to find a Forgotten Temple. There are several spread across the map and each one will be marked on your compass with a vortex icon. Simply head toward the marker until you reach a cross-shaped stone building with a statue outside. Head inside the building and take the stairs down behind the altar. Underground, you’ll encounter an earthen golem guarding a blue portal.
The golem isn’t especially difficult, but you don’t actually have to fight it. You can run past it and jump straight into the portal, which is usually quicker anyway. Walking through the portal will take you to the Forgotten Temple itself. Head into the central area, where you’ll see a glowing statue. Simply interact with the statue to unlock Hytale’s Memory system, which will give you permanent access to the Memories menu.
Once Memories are unlocked, recording them is pretty easy. Any time you get close to a creature you haven’t encountered before, a notification will pop up in the bottom-right corner of the screen, marking it as discovered. However, Memories in Hytale are not retroactive, so anything encountered before unlocking the system will not be counted.
From there, exploring the world will naturally start filling your Memory tab, which can be found next to your avatar in your Inventory. However, you’ll need to return to the Forgotten Temple and interact with the statue to turn them in. As you restore more Memories, you unlock milestone rewards. The first Memory tier will unlock Eternal Seeds, with bigger rewards like teleporters, morph potions, crafting components, and a backpack upgrade unlocking as you restore more Memories.
