After settling in with their newfound environment and slowly working on their Housing Plot, Palians can progress with the main questline to learn more about the disappearance of Humans from this world. They'll stumble across the first Ancient Human Ruins at the start of a specific quest; however, they'll need a key to unlock its doors.
This specific ruin is the Temple of the Waves, an important location, and Palians will revisit it later in the questline. So, we'll be explaining to Palains exactly where the Temple of the Waves is to help them complete quests and other related activities in Palia.
How To Find The Temple Of The Waves Location In Palia?
The Temple of the Waves is one of ten Ancient Human Ruins currently present in Palia, but one of five temples central to the Prologue quest. This specific temple is unlocked by default and is part of four quests: two main quests, Ancient Battery and Echoes of the Unknown, Jina's Friendship quest, Field School, and the Sea of Stars Discovery quest.
The Temple of the Waves is also an important location for two specific Accomplishments: Puzzling When Wet, which unlocks after solving the temple, and Scholar of the Waves, which requires all relics inside the temple to be found and read. This temple is featured in the recently added quests in the v0.186 update, Troubled Waters, as they assist Subira with investigating inside these watery ruins.
As for its location, this temple can be found in Kilima Village, specifically north of Kilima Village at Phoenix Falls, where Palians can enter this area from the entrance near the waterfall. Once inside, keep moving forward where the right pathway will lead them to the Phoenix Statue and the starting area, but keep moving ahead to lead them to the temple door entrance, which unlocks using the strange artifact from the Mysterious Object quest.
Once they've solved the Temple of the Waves, a corresponding vault becomes available at the Night Sky Temple, another Ancient Human Ruins central to the game's Prologue questline. Within the Vault of the Waves, there are four unique bundles to complete, which require Palians to use their various skills to acquire various resources in the open world, and completing all four bundles unlocks the Something's in the Water Accomplishment and releases the Ancient Fish into the lake biomes.
