How do I know when I've found all the temples?

[MrDave]

I wanna make sure I get all the temples I need before I NG+, is there a way I know I've got them all? I don't have a mission to talk with Vlad anymore, but I can't really see how many temples I've cleared...

[wtiger27]

Count the ones you have found. There is a total of 24.

[ƬᗩԲԲվ]

When you have 24 powers all rank 1. Then get burnt out doing it 9 more times.

The final quest gives a rank of phased time. So really you only need to find 23 temples.

Also you might need to complete the MQ but instead of traveling to the unity go back to Vlad and see if he has temples for the rest of the artifacts you've gathered.

There is 24 powers, supposedly some games bug out and you can't get all 24 powers in a single game. I know once you finish the final fight you can go back to the lodge to talk to Sarah and if you wait around, Vlad will show up. You should get some more temple trips after that.

But if are planning on playing NG+, I wouldn't worry about getting them all. Each NG+ you can do temple runs again, till you max the powers out at rank 10.

your powers menu has blanks for missing ones and fills in as you get them.

They're named for the Greek alphabet, Alpha to Omega. And the artifacts match them by name. You can acquire 10-11 artifacts from the 1st one to those from missions, plus the 2 already at the Lodge. The Starborn have the other 11-12 artifacts.

If you delay entering the Unity after confronting the Starborn and getting their artifacts, then Vlad will start giving you Temple locations again based on those new artifacts until you have all 24. It is possible to miss out on one if Barrett is killed by the Hunter, and you haven't yet gotten the quest with him for Temple Sigma. It is also possible to find Sigma on your own first or be given it by Vlad, and then get it a 2nd time from Barrett.

To keep track I just have a list of the Greek alphabet with two columns, one for artifact and one for temple for each letter. When it's complete, I'll have two check marks for each letter and all 24 Starborn powers. Doing it that way means I know which ones I'm missing and won't get confused.

All the power ranks should be equal to your how many times you have collected the artifacts, except Parallel Self.

You MUST own the artifact for the temple to appear. So every time you gain new artifacts you should seek out the temples associated until you catch up to the point Vladimir has no more temples for you.

For example, I am finishing off NG4, which means all the ranks of my power should be rank 5 at the end except Parallel Self. This is because Parallel Self can gain an extra rank if you find the Parallel Self temple before Barrett asks to to get a power, doing the quest gives you an extra rank.

This also does not take into account that if Barrett died before his quest, you skipping temples, or if you were unlucky enough to get the missing temple bug.

Ok, so I can do the final fight and then still do some if I missed any?

Yeah because you need the final artifact, plus the artifacts from the other two starborn.

You do not need to go straight to the Unity after the final artifact.
You can go to the Unity and come back as well, then return again later.

Yea. NG+ doesn't start until you build the armillary on your ship, place the artifacts, then warp away. Until you do those specific actions, NG+ doesn't start. In fact, if you plan on maxing all powers, its faster to rush to finish the final fight, then go to the lodge and talk to Sarah to get Vlad to come to the lodge. Because every time you go to him for another temple, you have multiple loading screens and have to dock, whereas if you get him at the lodge, its just 1 fast travel to reach him. Plus he usually doesn't get locked in conversation at the lodge like he seems to do at the Eye for me, so its easier to skip dialogue and get him to give you the next location.

FWIW you don't really need all 24 at lvl 10. Just pick your few favor powers and focus on those.

You can't choose which powers Vlad will send you to get and as far as I am aware, he wont send you to a new one till you collect the previous one he sent you too. So yes, you have to collect every power till you are lucky enough to get the ones you are searching for, and its still 10 trips per power. Even if you lucked out and got all the ones you wanted within 12 trips, thats still 120 trips for one of the most boring and stupid puzzle power collection minigame.

They really should have made the engame fight change up each newgame instead and the more starborn you kill, the more quantum essence you gather and then use that to upgrade the specific powers you wanted to upgrade.

You don't need Vlad to tell you where they are. The temples are generated in the same systems over and over ago. You can discovet which planets have them just by visiting those systems, and the temple you want is the one that is named after the artifact that goes with it. (Omnicron is always void form, for example)

[Faiza, Star Made Knight]

To clarify, the temples won't be on the same planets every time but temples only generate in specific systems. So you only need to look in those

It is kinda complicated due to RNGJesus playing the shell game.

You have 24 (plus Barrett's quest temple) the temples are on fixed planets, but some can be randomized as to which temple is on the planet.

If you have the artifact for the power you want to raise, entering the system with the temple will trigger the quest which skips using Vladimir. However as said above it is still kinda randomized which system has which temple.

Correct, however as I just explained there is a variance as to which of the fixed planets has the Omnicrom temple.

A minor correction, to avoid confusion. Barret's Sigma temple is one of the 24.
