I have it on Wii. I dont know where to go at all.

Where are you up to so far? (Keep in mind it's quite non-linear, so you might have to describe a few details of what you've achieved so far.) I could try and offer some hints or suggestions on what to look up / do next, without spoiling stuff from later that you might be able to work out yourself once you get past where you are now.

Fucking hell, this part is just ridiculous. Even the Lamp of Time only helps a little bit, you've got to descend damn fast to be able to avoid the horse monster flaming you before you land.

I managed it once, only to accidentally run into the monster and get knocked back. And then after I manage it, there's another even harder descent between spikes (although at least no horse monster this time).

I considered abuse of the invincibility period, but I can't find any way to trigger it that leaves me in control, yet doesn't expire before I get far enough down to bypass the spikes.

I completed it. Lamp of Time didn't help much, even after figuring out you can activate it during the descent (as long as it's not while you're clinging to the wall) - it's just too tricky to manouver through there and activate it. But I found a way to make use of said invincibility period, which helped a lot.

Overall, I wasn't very impressed at all with Hell Temple. Far too much fake difficulty. LMFAO at the item you get for completing it tho.

hell temple overall feels pretty silly to me, too. It's an absurd area mostly full of difficult platforming challenges in an engine extremely poorly suited to anything even remotely resembling platforming. I honestly don't really fault it for anything though because considering how ridiculous the entrance requirements are I think the contents are allowed to be just as ridiculous

There's a lot of parts I thought were fine. But things like the fake floors, or walk-through walls, or those fists that come out of nowhere and the solutions are for the first one, go through a walk-through wall below it, for the second, jump slightly so it doesn't trigger, or in the spike-wall-drop bit that horse enemy having near perfect accuracy and timing to knock you down no matter how hard you try to avoid it (seriously, is it even possible without either invunerability period abuse or the Lamp of Time?)... all of those things are bullshit, IMO.

Things like the puzzle with guild.exe, the push-block puzzle, the spike-wall-drop bit minus the horse enemy, etc... those were actually pretty good elements.

Also wtf at the boss... total fucking pushover tbh.
