		+	The Moon Temple has a unique mechanic not seen anywhere else in Heroes of Hammerwatch: Slippery floors. Slippery floors create "Ice physics" that causes players to slide and makes it very difficult to speed up or slow down quickly, many of the challenge rooms use these floors alongside it's other obstacles. These floors can be countered with the uncommon 'Spiked Boots' item, which renders the player immune to slippery surfaces.

 The Elder Wisp is the first boss found in the Moon Temple and typically stands before any available resource drop-offs, so care needs to be taken when facing it. At the start of the battle, the Elder Wisp will be surrounded by six or so giant magic crystals. These crystals will connect to the Wisp and each other, granting a series of unique attacks.
 ===Strategy===
-# '''Phase 1 - Crystal Destruction:''' At the start of the battle, focus on destroying the giant magic crystals surrounding the Elder Wisp. Each crystal enables the Wisp to perform unique and powerful attacks, such as the Wisp Bomb and Ice Projectiles. Destroying these crystals will disable these attacks and make the Wisp vulnerable. Use ranged attacks to keep a safe distance while targeting the crystals.

	Throughout the Moon Temple, players will encounter increasingly challenging levels filled with interconnected chambers and magical gateways. Each area is populated by a variety of enemies, including undead vampire guards, moon guardians with powerful melee and ranged attacks, moon wardens with formidable defenses and offensive spells, and shades that use dark magic to drain mana and cause bleeding effects. The enemies grow tougher, and traps and puzzles become more complex as players progress through the temple.

−	During 'Great Threat' events, players must face hordes of Wisps, alien-looking soldiers, or purple shade-type enemies, depending on the floor they are on. Secret puzzle rooms, identifiable by squiggly teleportation gates, offer additional challenges and rewards. The main stairway rooms require artifact keys found in mini-boss rooms scattered throughout the levels. Placing these keys unlocks hidden chests and allows further progression.

 The Giant Ice Wolf was the pet of a wizard named Krilith, who escaped when the Sun Gate was destroyed. This boss makes great efforts to attack you one-on-one and will jump and pounce around the arena to reach you. The arena is filled with large chunks of destructible ice that can block your movement, making the battle more difficult. The best course of action is to dodge out of the way of its pounces and keep a small distance away, dodging between any projectiles it launches when it attacks. Unlike the Giant Wisp, there are no surprises, and when it dies, it simply dies. Be sure to collect any items it drops before moving on.

 When fighting Krilith's Wolf, prioritize dodging its pounce attacks and projectiles. Use the destructible ice chunks to your advantage by breaking them to create space and avoid getting cornered. Maintain a safe distance and use ranged attacks if possible. Be aware of its quick movements and adjust your positioning accordingly. Focus on dealing consistent damage while avoiding its high-damage attacks.
