The Temple Assembly Site is a room in the Temple Grounds. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Description[]

Several Galactic Federation Crates litter the floor of this room, along with stacks of ancient Luminoth statues. The statues form a circle around a clearing supposedly meant for Luminoth meetings. A violet Translator Door, which Samus must get an upgrade for her Translator Module to bypass, blocks the entrance to an elevator. Among the Luminoth ruins are Federation equipment like a crane and other heavy tools. A statue with a violet crystal blocks access to a Portal and must be shot with the Light Beam in order to move it. Dark Aether's duplicate of this room is known as the Plain of Dark Worship.

Trivia[]

  • Alternatively, a rather difficult Slope Jump can be used to reach the statue leading up to the Missile Expansion on the first visit. Samus can then jump up to the ledge and continue down the path to said Expansion, allowing Samus to regain Missiles upon acquisition and allow her to optionally acquire the nearby Energy Tank early as well.
  • In the Trilogy version of the game during the Splinter/Dark Splinter ambush, the Ing Battle theme plays until the Splinters are killed. Interestingly, if Samus leaves the room before killing the Splinters but doesn't force the room to reload, the Ing Battle theme will begin to play again. This music change does not happen in the Gamecube versions.
  • The Moth Temple Reveal Intro theme plays when entering this room for the first time.
