Hytale Memories Guide: How to Unlock Memories in the Forgotten Temple

TL;DR

To unlock Hytale server hosting Memories, open your map and look for the cross-shaped Forgotten Temple, travel there, craft a Crude Sword, defeat the Stone Golem guarding the portal, then enter the portal and interact with the Heart of Orbis statue. After that, you can record Memories by observing creatures and entities, and you submit them back at the Heart of Orbis for milestone rewards.

What are Hytale Memories?

Memories are Hytale’s built-in discovery log. Instead of only tracking quests, the game rewards you for noticing the world: creatures, entities, and key finds. Once you unlock the feature, you can record Memories during exploration and then submit them at the Forgotten Temple to earn progression rewards.

If you like completion goals, this system is basically a long-term collectible quest that keeps paying you back as you play.

Where is the Forgotten Temple in Hytale?

The Forgotten Temple location is not fixed because Hytale worlds are procedurally generated. The good news is that you usually do not need to brute-force wander for hours.

How to spot it fast:

Open your map and scan for a cross-shaped structure.

Set a waypoint so the marker stays visible and is easier to follow as you move.

Tip that saves time: if you’re unsure you found the right thing, zoom out and re-check the silhouette. The temple cross stands out compared to most natural terrain.

How to unlock Memories (step-by-step)

This is the clean, no-drama route that works even if you’re starting fresh in Early Access.

1. Locate the Forgotten Temple on your map
   Look for the cross-shaped structure and set a waypoint.
2. Prep before you enter
   Bring basic food and be ready for a fight. Early Access can be messy in places, and you don’t want to run back mid-attempt.
3. Craft a Crude Sword
   You’ll want this before going deep. The standard crafting requirement is:

• 2x Plant Fiber
• 2x Stone Rubble
• 2x Wood

Equip it on your hotbar.

1. Go inside and find the stairs
   Once inside, head down the stairs (many players naturally spot the left-side stairs first).
2. Defeat the Stone Golem guarding the portal
   Fight smart, not proud. Backpedal to keep distance, manage stamina, and reset when needed. If the room layout gives you a safer space, use it.
3. Enter the portal and activate the Heart of Orbis
   After the golem is down, step through the portal to reach the real temple area. Walk up to the Heart of Orbis statue and interact with it to unlock Memories.

That’s the unlock. From here, you’re in the record and submit loop.

Quick multiplayer note

If you’re doing this quest with friends, a dedicated server can make the whole Early Access experience smoother. It keeps your world online, avoids host-migration headaches, and lets your group explore, build, and farm Memories without waiting on someone’s PC.

Godlike.Host Hytale server hosting sizing (vanilla baseline (scale up if you mod or build heavy):

Estimates assume a mostly vanilla setup; heavy building, plugins/mods, and long sessions may require the next tier up.

If you want a simple rule of thumb, choose your plan based on player count first, then move up one tier if your group does anything that tends to hit performance harder, like big builds, long play sessions, lots of exploration, or constant travel. As a rough baseline, many servers land around 1–2 GB of RAM per active player, but it can swing depending on the world, settings, and how heavy your gameplay gets.

How to record and submit Memories

Once you unlock the system, the gameplay loop is straightforward:

Record: As you explore, pay attention to creatures and notable entities. If you see a visual cue (players often describe it as a blue highlight or glow), treat that as your hint that something is recordable.

Submit: Return to the Heart of Orbis in the Forgotten Temple and interact to save/submit what you recorded.

The important detail: recording alone is not the finish line. You need to submit at the Heart of Orbis to progress milestones.

Memories milestone rewards

Rewards can change during Early Access balancing. In general, submitting more Memories unlocks practical upgrades and utility items, with one of the most valuable long-term benefits being increased Teleporter capacity for faster travel. If your milestone rewards look different, it’s normal check the Heart of Orbis menu for the current reward track in your build.

Troubleshooting

I can’t find the Forgotten Temple on the map.
Zoom out, scan for the cross shape, then check nearby landmarks. If the world seed is new, explore outward in a rough circle from spawn and re-check the map after uncovering more fog.

I reached the temple but nothing happens.
You only unlock Memories after you go far enough inside to reach the portal area, defeat the Stone Golem, enter the portal, and interact with the Heart of Orbis.

I’m recording stuff but not getting progress.
Make sure you returned to the Heart of Orbis to submit. Most players who get stuck simply didn’t finalize the submission step.
