Temtem: Best Places To Level Up

by

Key Takeaways

  • Grinding in the early game is limited, the surfboard is crucial for new areas, and Coward’s Cloak boosts EXP for inactive Tems.
  • Dabmis’ Rest features rare Tems and is a leveling spot after receiving Coward’s Cloak.
  • Shrines like Earth, Digital, & Melee are efficient for leveling, and require type-challenge battles.

As an old-time Temtem trainer who’s seen it all, from the sunny shores of Saku Island to the mystical depths of Chini Grotto, I can confidently say that these farming spots are truly a boon for any aspiring champion.

The monster-taming role-playing game, TemTem, similar to Pokemon, has consistently retained its player base since its release on PC in 2020 and expansion to other major platforms. Even though the 1.8 update in November 2024 marked the end of significant updates for the game, it’s now more welcoming than ever for newcomers looking to join the fun.

For novice gamers learning the ropes or experienced players aiming to excel in the end game, there are numerous effective locations and techniques for swiftly increasing your Tems’ levels. These spots either provide the highest EXP per level or contain items that aid in the simultaneous leveling up of multiple Tems.

9. Perilous Archeology (Side Quest)

Finding The Coward’s Cloak

In the early stages of TemTem, there aren’t numerous excellent chances to level up quickly. Instead, players should aim to conquer the Dojo leader in Arissola, Sophia, as this will reward them with a Surfboard. This item unlocks new playable areas, among which is the location of the Coward’s Cloak.

This item allows TemTem left out of your active team to gain experience points, making it ideal for keeping your reserve Tems at an optimal level. To locate it, travel to the base of Windward Fort and ride the Surfboard across the water towards the Sillao River in the east. Engage with the archaeologists there to initiate a battle.

Triumphing in the skirmish grants you the Perilous Archaeology side mission. Subsequently, retrace your steps through the lower part of Windward Fort and exit via the opposite side. Engage the adversaries on the route, and at the terminus, you’ll find the chest holding the Coward’s Cloak.

8. Dabmis’ Rest

Early Rare Farm

By acquiring the Coward’s Cloak, you can now venture into one less crowded area in Deniz where you can find some rarer Tems and level up using your Surfboard. This hidden lake is perfect for catching Kalazu and Oceara, creatures that will prove useful later on. Plus, it offers a decent amount of EXP early on as well.

To reach your destination, paddle northward from Brical de Mar towards the Aguamarina Caves. Locate the stairs leading to Crystal Lake at the northwestern part of the caves, then exit the following room heading south to arrive at Dabmis Rest. Wearing the Coward’s Cloak in inactive Tems while harvesting here gives players an early boost for some unique combat strategies.

7. Crystal Shrine

Crystal Type Challenge

In the game TemTem, shrines are ideal spots for players to gain experience because they’re packed with powerful, evolved creatures known as Tems. However, players must overcome a type-specific challenge before they can capture or battle these Tems. This implies that players would require an entire team consisting of crystal type Tems to confront the trainers stationed outside and unlock the shrine.

To triumph in this battle, all you need is to gather some Bunbuns nearby since your team can manage the fight effectively with a sufficient number of them. To reach these Bunbuns, players must advance the storyline in Tucma and acquire the Rock-Climbing Hook (Gravitonic Piolet). Once obtained, head towards the western part of the island to meet Valentina, accept the Cultist Hunt quest, and then follow this quest until you reach the shrine.

6. Fire Shrine

Shrines Offer High EXP Yield

Players can reach the Fire Shrine, situated at Anak Volcano, as their next destination. However, they must have advanced significantly in the story to acquire the Crystal Skates, enabling them to revisit and access it. Similar to the last shrine, this location offers a good opportunity for EXP farming at present.

Additionally, players have the chance to unveil a fresh evolution for Tuwai here, boasting fire-based attributes. This transformation can be triggered at all shrines, each offering an evolution aligned with its unique elemental properties. Therefore, remember this when exploring shrines for character development.

5. Water Shrine

Deniz Grind Spot

1) On the planet Deniz, the Water Shrine has returned, yet it remains unreachable for players until deeper into the narrative. In the Dabmis’ Rest section of the Aguamarina caves, a wall can now be scaled using the Gravitonic Pickaxe, which was previously used to catch the Oceara in the game. (This location is where players encounter the Oceara earlier in their journey.)

Ascend to that location accompanied by a complete squad of Water-type Temtem, ready to engage in the necessary fights to unveil the shrine. After accomplishing this task, you’ll find higher leveled Temtem offering additional chances for leveling up.

4. Travel Writer (Side Quest)

Quest For The Coward’s Blanket

As the game progresses and the player has reached Arbury, there is another side quest offering a reward that players may find beneficial for leveling their Tems. This reward is known as The Coward’s Blanket, serving as an enhanced version of the Coward’s Cloak. With The Coward’s Blanket, players can distribute experience points earned among all their idle Tems rather than only one.

After finishing the Perilous Archaeology mission, head to Nanga (Omninesia) and chat with Tarlae to embark on this quest series. She’ll assign you six tasks, which are quite straightforward since they involve checking out various islands in the game and returning to Tarlae in Omninesia. Once you’ve gathered all six tasks (the last one being Arbury), she will reward you with the Coward’s Blanket.

3. Earth Shrine

Six Times The EXP

The Earth Shrine is one of the most popular leveling spots in TemTem, prior to the endgame, because players can get six times the regular experience gains from battling there. After completing the main story on Kisiwa island, find the Earth Shrine there by heading to Chini Grotto.

Upon arrival, locate the utterly dark room situated within Chini Grotto, then make your way to its eastern exit to discover the Earth Shrine. Assemble a group of Tem-comrades specializing in Earth types for your inaugural visit, as this shrine features a sequence of battles testing against various types, similar to the others. After overcoming these challenges, players are free to engage in combat and boost their Tems’ levels. Keep in mind that Tems participating should be at least level 67 to battle and capture effectively.

2. Digital Shrine

The Prime Pre-Endgame EXP Farm

The Digital Shrine resembles other shrines, but it stands out with Tems of the maximum level (72) before reaching the endgame zone. To gain entry into the Digital Shrine, players must first accomplish the side quest titled “Angry Kami,” which can be initiated from Yoko in Neoedo town on Cipanku.

Giving Yoko the specified item will allow players to enter the shrine zone, however, they will also need to gather a squad of digital-type Tems to tackle the battles leading to the unlocking of the shrine. After completing this task, this region offers the best experience points (EXP) for players aiming to level up prior to finishing the main storyline.

1. Melee Shrine

Level 100 Endgame Grind Spot

In this game, the peak shrine is the most advanced one, an ideal spot for players to battle and elevate their Tems up to level 100. However, it’s essential to complete the main storyline first to gain entry.

After wrapping up the game’s storyline, I stumbled upon the Melee Shrine hidden in Arbury’s northwestern region, specifically in a place known as Chieftain’s Barrow. To gain access to this shrine, you’ll need a squad of Tems specialized in melee combat, capable of overcoming the battle challenges tailored to their style that block its entrance.

When using these locations for leveling, keep in mind that they offer the quickest progress but vary in which TV stats they boost, depending on the types of Tems you’re battling. Therefore, if players prioritize increasing specific stats rather than overall leveling, it’s crucial to carefully choose the farm that best suits their needs.
