How do you unlock the Temple?

[SpecterVonBaren]

So I was looking up to see if I was missing anything for town and there's an entire building I haven't unlocked yet for some reason, the Temple. I've tried looking up how to get it but the only guide that mentions it at all just said I needed to get cursed in the dungeon but I've done that several times and nothing happened. Taking cursed equipment doesn't do anything, not taking cursed equipment so I get a higher curse counter doesn't do anything. What am I missing?

I have also ran into this issue. It's probably a niche glitch that needs to be fixed. I'm not sure how to even contact them about it. I've been playing on the switch so this is not just on pc. It's a game issue.

I don't know either, last I read was that the switch didn't have that content yet, so I tried again after the update yesterday, but still nothing.
Apparently the temple will unlock the gear that has blessings and stuff?
It's already in the quickplay roster on switch, just not on story mode

I think it requires bringing a cursed item out of the dungeon (so not cleansing it before finishing the run) and using that as a research material. I thought I hadn't done it yet, but it's there, so can't confirm now.

This has been a major frustration in an otherwise really enjoyable game. It's a persistent bug for me, playing on the Steam version in Windows 11. I've started about 10 new story games after noticing the temple while watching a Youtube let's play (my first save was into the end game at that point with 100+ population and all dungeon keys unlocked, and Edith had never showed up in town to introduce the Temple building). Over the course of these 10 attempts I have:

- Played in the testingbranch version of the game
- Played in the standard version of the game
- Done runs as Purse, Satchel, and Tote
- Built at least one of all other buildings
- Brought multiple cursed items out of the dungeon in my active inventory
- Brought at least one cursed item out of the dungeon while inside of a pouch
- Acquired several curses without picking up the item
- Come out of the dungeon with a mixture of cursed items and unclaimed curses
- Acquired cursed items and destroyed them
- Validated my game files
- Completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game
- Reset my progress and tutorials

None of this has resolved the issue, and I have yet to encounter Edith or the temple building in any of my games.

Bringing this thread back up because it's still a problem. Just brought a new story file to completion and Edith just didn't show up. Got cursed, had cursed item shipped to town and brought some back with me but nothing. Do note that I have a story file where I got the temple, she just showed up normally the first time. But nothing this time.
