Even thoughPokemonis often regarded as the first creature-collecting gameto have come out, there was a game that predatesPokemonthat shaped all creature-collecting games:Shin Megami Tensei. In this Super Famicom exclusive game, players take control of an unnamed protagonist that can capture and control demons. Players could level up their demons and use them in turn-based battles where they can earn experience points and battle items.

And whileShin Megami Tenseimay never reach the same popularity asPokemon, it created a lasting legacy that many game developers strive to imitate today.Temtemis a creature-collecting game with lots of similarities withShin Megami TenseiandPokemonwhile still introducing fans to new gimmicks. One aspect thatPokemonfans may recognize is Dojos, which resemble Gyms. But, Dojos inTemtemhave a unique gameplay twist that some players may not be aware of, especially the seventh Dojo inTemtem, the Lochburg Dojo.
Lochburg Dojo Battle Mechanics
Unlike other Dojos, the Lochburg Dojo doesn’t have any particular puzzle to complete (like the Quetzal Dojo), but instead, players will need to beat several Tamers one after the other. But, these battles are “Gauntlet” style, meaning that players will need to beat all of them in a row before being able to heal or revive their Temtem or even reach the Dojo Master. If a player backs out of one of the battles, the fights will reset, forcing them to fight again.
So, players will want to bring enough battle items to heal/revive their Temtem team before starting the fights. Certain Gears will help players beat all the tamers with ease. For example, the Full Restore and Balm+++ will help players fully heal their Temtem during a battle.
Dojo Tamers & Dojo Master
The highest-level Temtem players will need to face will be a level 75 Golzy, which is part of Murdag’s (Dojo Master) lineup. So, as long as the player’s Temtem team is above level 70, they should find these fights easy to complete. Players will need to beat four Tamers before proceeding to Murdag, but once they beat all four Tamers, they can heal their team freely without resetting the fight.
Mental & Water
Electric
Players must fight Carlos first before moving on to the next Tamer. By this point, players should be familiar with his lineup, but for the most part, players will want to use astrong Melee Temtem. Seismunch, Maoala, and Koish (Melee) are all worthy Temtem to use for this fight.
Water & Electric
Nature
The second Tamer battle consists mostly of Water and Melee-type Temtems. The highest-level Temtem this Tamer has is Magmut, a tanky Temtem with high HP and Defense. But, the real dangers are Gyalis and Nessla, as they both have powerful Technique attacks. Players shouldensure their team has at least one earth-type Temtemto counter these Temtems, like Vulffy or Seismunch.
Water & Melee
Murphy is the third Tamer players must fight to move on in the Lochburg Dojo. He only has a team of three Temtems, so beating him shouldn’t pose too much of an issue. The biggest threat in his team is Gazuma since it boosts the speed of allied Temtems. So, players should focus their attacks on Gazuma first before fighting any of the other Temtems.
Electric & Melee
Digital & Earth
Players should be careful when facing the final Tamer since Golzy is among thebest Electric& Melee Temtem. And that’s because of its secondary trait, Voltaic Charge, which reflects 10% of a Technique attack. So, the players should avoid using powerful single-target attacks on Golzy and instead use basic attacks to beat it.
Once players beat the four Tamers, they’ll be able to face Murdag, the Dojo’s master. But, before facing her, players should heal/revive their team since she has a full set of six Temtems. Additionally, players can loot 2x Max Scent and 1x Fat Burner before reaching Murdag.
During the fight, players should be careful of Monkko since it has a powerful secondary trait that increases its Special Technique attack by 10%. Moreover, Skunch’s secondary Trait, Bully, increases its damage output by 30% while outnumbered. So, the best way to handle these Temtems is to focus on them entirely since ignoring them can disrupt the flow of the battle.
Temtemis available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
