The Temple of the Dead is an area in Act II of Inscryption. This is where the Scrybe of the Dead, Grimora resides.
Act II[]
The Temple of the Dead is one of the first two Temples that are available, along with the Temple of Beasts. Grimora is in the center of the room, with three gravestones in front of her. The three pieces of each gravestone must be found and put in their proper places in order to access her. In the west side of the room is the skeleton NPC named after Kaycee Hobbes. They stand in front of a well, which can be interacted with to receive the Drowned Soul. The west side of the room also has a path to the Trader. On the east side of the room is the stairs to the basement, guarded by Sawyer Patel, and the northern path to the mirror room, blocked by Royal Dominguez. The mirror room contains a mirror the player can walk through to randomly change their avatar, and the basement contains the Bone Lord. Giving the Bone Lord the Ancient Obol allows the player to head down further to a mysterious giant corpse, where the Bone Lord will give them the Bone Lord's Horn, a key for use in Act III, and the Femur of the Bone Lord.
Act III[]
Botopia has an area inspired by Grimora's domain in the southeast area, referred to as Filthy Corpse World. The Uberbot of the area is The Archivist. The interior of the building is laid out similarly, with an interactable well to the west and a locked door to the east. If the key was received from the Bone Lord in Act II, this door is unlocked for an easter egg.
Finale[]
The fight against Grimora during the Finale takes place in the Temple of the Dead as it is being deleted.
