The front of the temple has a bridge-like structure that leads to a circular and damaged platform, with damaged columns placed around its edge. The path the leads from the platform to the temple complex is lined up with several plain columns, some of which are damaged, and leads to a wide set of stairs. A special barrier surrounds the temple starting with the area around the stairs.

Chronology

Extra Edition

On July 25, 2025, Agil, Asuna, Kirito, Klein, Leafa, Lisbeth, Silica and Yui came to the Undersea Temple for the Deep Sea Plunderers quest, as it was rumored to have whales in it and Yui wanted to see and ride one. After accepting the quest from Nerakk and finding out that they needed to retrieve a pearl from thieves who had taken refuge in the temple, the party proceeded to the temple, encountering traps and monsters along the way. After several battles, including a battle with an Armachthys and a large crab monster, the party found the pearl and left the temple to give it to Nerakk. However, before Kirito could return it, Asuna suspected that something was wrong after Lisbeth mentioned that they had not encountered any thieves in the temple, thus she took the "pearl" and, viewing it in the light, noticed that it was actually an egg. After they refused to give the egg to Nerakk, he transformed to his true form, Kraken the Abyss Lord, and nearly wiped out the party, but Leviathan the Sea Lord intervened by throwing his trident in front of the Kraken and telling it that he would defend his territory if the Kraken wished to continue fighting. The Kraken then retreated and Leviathan retrieved the egg, completing the quest, and summoned a whale to bring the fairies back to Alfheim.
