Quick answer
- The treasure is under the
blue terracotta in the middle of the temple. - A pressure plate at the bottom is wired to 9 TNT.
- Break the pressure plate first, then loot the 4 chests.
Desert temples hide loot under the floor, and a trap that can blow you and the chests up. It's easy if you know where it is.

Finding the treasure
Inside the temple, look for a pattern of orange and Blue terracotta in the middle of the floor. The treasure room is straight below it.
Disarming the trap
- Dig down next to the centre, not through it. Don't fall in.
- When you reach the room, break the Stone pressure plate in the middle.
- Now it's safe. Open all 4 chests.
Never jump inLanding on the pressure plate sets off 9 TNT, which kills you and destroys the loot.
