The Temple Sanctuary is a room in the Great Temple, appearing within Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is the third room in the Great Temple Samus explores overall.

Description[]

The Temple Sanctuary is a mid-sized room possessing much space to walk around in. The center houses tall Statues surrounding an inner central area, with these statues still housing power when Samus first arrives in this room. Many chambers containing sleeping Luminoth in stasis can be found on he sides of the room behind windows; these are the last members of U-Mos's species. This is the room where Samus faces several Splinters and an Alpha Splinter before they eventually turned into Dark Splinters and a Dark Alpha Splinter. She gains the Energy Transfer Module following their defeat. This room had many gates guarding the paths to Agon, Torvus and Sanctuary Sectors.

The Dark Aetherian version of this room was the Sanctum, although due to the inverted nature of the Sky Temple, it actually occupied the same space as the Sky Temple Energy Controller.

Trivia[]

  • The first Ing boss of Echoes is fought here, and the very last Ing of the game is fought in the room's Dark Aether counterpart.
  • The Emerald Translator Gate that Samus enters the room from (on the path to the Sanctuary Fortress) is absent on her first arrival but is locked when she enters the Splinter battle.

Metroid Prime 2: Dark Echoes Q&A[]

QUESTION: Where had the Luminoth who appeared in the ending been throughout the game? Hadn't they all been eliminated, besides U-Mos?

ANSWER: Look closely in the Luminoth Temple's Golden Slumber [Temple Sanctuary] room, at the walls. You'll be able to see many Luminoth hibernating within.[1]
