Temple of Darkness
From Aselia, the Tales wiki
The Temple of Darkness is a place in the Meltokio region and the Fooji continent in the game Tales of Symphonia. It is total pitch-black there when the party goes there the first time, and is forced to go to the Elemental Labroatory to get a special-made candle that can light the temple. Afterwards, they go further in to find pieces of Shadow, the Summon Spirit of Darkness. After gathering all five of them at the bottom of the temple, Lloyd and the others can battle Shadow. Defeating him makes Sheena able to Shadow’s power, and will get an amethyst ring as a Pact Ring.
[edit] Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
After Tenebrae sacrificed himself to save Emil, he goes into Ratatosk Mode and tells them that Centurions don’t die; they go to Ratatosk in order to regain their strength, but since Ratatosk is in a dormant state, they become cores and go to the temples they represent. In this case, Tenebrae’s core is in the Temple of Darkness, as he is the Centurion of Darkness.
Ratatosk-Emil, Marta and Sheena go to the temple, where they meet Richter and Aqua, who felt that a Centurion had transformed into its dormant state. Ratatosk-Emil tries to stop Richter with his Ain Soph Aur twice, but when Richter uses Eternal Recurrence to send the attack back at him, Marta jumps forth and is hit instead. Because of the Ain Soph Aur, the temple falls down, and when Ratatosk-Emil wakes up, he is alone with Tenebrae’s core. He takes it with him and finds Marta. However, Ratatosk-Emil thinks that Marta wants his normal side rather than his Ratatosk side, and after a little one-sided fight, he goes back to the normal Emil.
