Monsaic Temple

The Monsaic Temple is an ancient Mudokon temple located within the Monsaic Lines. It is a spiritual and holy place and highly sacred to the Mudokons, as in the temple lies the altar where the ritual to awaken the Shrykull can be performed.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty
The Monsaic Temple is a unique element of the Monsiac Lines added in New 'n' Tasty. It appears as a large ellipsoid flanked by two large chanting statues. The staircase up is blocked by a pillar that moves up or down.

When first arriving in the Monsaic Lines, Abe is barred passage by a giant stone pillar with a carving of a Paramite glyph and a Scrab glyph. When Abe returns from one of the temples with a scar, the respective glyph will begin glowing with the respective tribe's color (the Paramite will glow blue for the Mudomo, the Scrab will glow purple for the Mudanchee) when approached. A representative monk will sit on the side of the pillar that leads to the finished trial. If both trials are finished, both glyphs will glow and Abe is allowed passage.

Once inside, Abe is greeted by some naturalised Mudokons, before being invited by Big Face into the altar. With the hand scars complete, the spirits could take form, and a holy jolt of lightning awoke the power of the Shrykull within him.

After Abe officially has the power of the Shrykull, the pillar raises back up, and the glyphs glow consistently.
