Forlorn Temple is the third area of The Messenger, which is not fully explored during Ninja's first visit. It is the fallen stronghold of humans from many centuries ago.
The west side of Forlorn Temple is accessed from Autumn Hills, and the east side leads to Bamboo Creek. Falling down the broken bridge leads to the Catacombs.
Appearance[]
Forlorn Temple is a large crumbling temple made of red bricks with green accents. There are green plants. The background sky is light blue with light blue clouds tinged with yellow. A yellow sun shines brightly with many rays of light in the lower-left corner of the screen, at the sky's horizon. The sunlight reflects upon the ocean.
Since the demons invaded this human temple, there are many demon monuments and skeletons of dead humans.

After a long horizontal room filled with moving platforms and a few Blue Kappa and Green Kappa, travel upward into a room with a circular time rift. Transform from 8-bit into 16-bit, return back to the previous long horizontal room, then drop down into the new lower-right opening that leads to the Power Seal room. Traverse through obstacles and ride rockets until Ninja reaches the Power Seal.
Power Seal #2[]
In the upper-left corner of the temple is a room with a shop checkpoint, a very large tree with four lanterns, and a small throne.

Trivia[]
- The well in the first room of Forlorn Temple is an easter egg that references The Shopkeeper's story in the Music Box.
- In the upper-left corner of Forlorn Temple is a king's crown, a king's robe, and small silver ring next to a tree. This is an easter egg that references The Shopkeeper's story in Howling Grotto.
- In two different rooms, there is a throne with cryptic runes etched into it that translate into "DEMON." One throne is in the upper-left room of the temple, left of a shop checkpoint, and the other throne is in a long horizontal room in the north section of the temple, next to a Green Kappa and a Bouncing Dogo.
