Hytale Forgotten Temple Gateway: Location, How to Reach & What It Unlocks

What to know

• The Forgotten Temple is always near your spawn point, but its exact location changes per world.​
• A unique compass marker (like a teleporter with arrows) shows the direction to the temple.​​
• Inside, you’ll fight or avoid a stone golem guarding a blue portal — that’s the Forgotten Temple Gateway.​
• Using the gateway unlocks the Memories system and starts the main questline.​​

In Hytale, the Forgotten Temple is one of the first major story locations you’ll visit, and the Forgotten Temple Gateway is the blue portal inside it that advances the main quest. The video you linked shows how to reach and use this gateway, so here’s a step‑by‑step breakdown based on that footage.​​

Hytale Forgotten Temple location: How to find it

The Forgotten Temple always spawns near your starting area, though its exact location changes with each new world. To find it, look at the compass/navigation bar at the top of your screen and locate the special waypoint marker that looks like a small circle with four arrow-like points. Turn until the marker is centered, then follow it.

As you get closer, you’ll see a large stone structure with a statue at the entrance. Look for the opening that leads underground, that’s the entrance to the Forgotten Temple.

How to reach the Forgotten Temple Gateway

Inside the temple, the Forgotten Temple Gateway is a blue portal guarded by a stone golem. Here’s how to get to it, as shown in the video:

Step 1: Enter the Forgotten Temple

Walk through the main entrance and head down the stairs into the temple’s interior. ​The layout is usually a large, dimly lit chamber with stone pillars and a central area where the portal sits.​​

Step 2: Locate the stone golem

In the main chamber, look for a large stone golem standing in front of a blue, swirling portal.​ The golem patrols or stands still; it will attack if you get too close.​

Step 3: Deal with the golem

You can either fight it or avoid it, depending on your gear and playstyle:

• If fighting: Use a decent sword (like a crafted iron or better weapon) and attack while moving back to avoid its charge.​
• If avoiding: Circle around the golem or use the small pond/alcoves in the room to sneak past it.​

Step 4: Use the Forgotten Temple Gateway

After defeating or bypassing the golem, interact with the blue portal in the center of the chamber to activate the Forgotten Temple Gateway. You’ll be teleported to a new, memory-like area, unlocking the Memories system, starting the main questline (Curse Breaker), and gaining access to new story content, NPCs, and areas.

What to do next

After activating the Forgotten Temple Gateway, focus on exploring the new area you’re teleported to and collecting the first set of Memories. The game will then guide you toward the next major locations, like the Edge of the Echo and other ancient sites tied to the Orbus officers and the Curse Breaker story.​​
