Chapter Gimmick:
There are lots of booby traps hidden throughout the level designed to make your path to its center all the more hard. You will come to recognize the indications for certain booby traps and will avoid them, but that isn't always possible.
On top of that, you will be guiding a party of characters through the level — these being Flynn, Cali, Mags, Sharpfin, and Buzz. These characters cannot die, but there are puzzles that you have to solve or do so that they can all get past certain areas.
Furthermore, there are Mind Switches located throughout the temple. Using one of these, you can toggle to one of the five NPCs in the group for fifteen seconds. Each NPC has a different use that will either uncover hidden areas or allow you to advance further in the level.
Chapter Design:
Is a well lit temple setting with many torches lining the walls. Sometimes the corridors are winding and small, sometimes they open up into giant rooms with quicksand waterfalls and even rivers. The temple itself is designed to look like an Aztec temple on the outside.
The level begins with you standing outside the steps of the great temple all alone with the Dreadyacht hovering above you. There is an Air elemental gate that is off to your right side.
Entering this gate reveals a teleporter and a small tiki man that will appear. He reveals that there is a hidden secret to the temple where there are hidden rings surrounding it. If someone were to fly through and activate all of them, they would gain great rewards.
If you accept the challenge, you will be placed in the Dreadyacht's dinghy and will pilot it through the ten gold rings surrounding the temple — flying Skylanders won't use the the dinghy.
If you get all ten rings, you are rewarded with one of the level's hats.
With this done, you start up the temple's stairs. Once you reach the entrance at the top, you will find the group of NPCs you will be guiding through the temple. This includes Mags, Flynn, Buzz, Sharpfin, and Cali.
The doors to the temple are currently closed, you have to speak to Cali before opening them.
"Alright, Skylander. We're all ready to enter the temple when you are. If you ever need any of our help, just ask. We all have a different set of skills that should help us find the Grail of Light."
You now enter the temple. Inside is a short hallway that crosses to a circular room with six buttons in the floor. Once you step on one of the buttons, the five NPCs will rush to all stand on a button of their own. With all six pressed, the room will begin to move, revealing it is an elevator. If you step off a button, the elevator will rise.
You travel downwards for a moment, passing a room on the back wall that you can only access by stepping off the buttons and hurrying to get into. There's a lever in that room that halts the elevator where you can get back on it. Within this room is a Guardian Golem and the winged sapphire.
You then head back to the elevator and ride it all the way down. You step off the elevator into a large room with high ceilings. Cages full of Quetzals and Sabers are hung above and platforms stick out of a large rushing river that heads to the far side of the room where it drops off into a waterfall.
Stepping off the elevator platform, you cross a short stone bridge to a circular area with three branching paths. A handful of Chompy darters run around there and a small lever is at the areas center.
Eon's voice can be heard when you approach the lever. He says, "This is a mind switch. Activate it to switch places with one the party members you are traveling with. Each of them has special abilities that are necessary for you to get through the temple."
