← All areas in this guide

The Dilapidated Temple is a secluded sanctuary where the protagonist recovers following the prologue and receives the Shinobi Prosthetic. It serves as the primary safe hub where Wolf can fit prosthetic tools, upgrade the Healing Gourd, and converse with gathering allies. Players also practice core combat fundamentals here and depart via grappling points leading toward the Ashina Outskirts.
