About SIPHON: Hero Harvest, the 3D adventure where the villain raids hero temples

The premise

Each of the league's heroes guards a temple. Doctor Siphon intends to break into every one of them. Fight through the traps and guardians, solve the temple's puzzle, defeat the hero waiting inside and drain their power. When eight temples have fallen, Paragon is the only one left.

Steal a power, open the next temple

• Every hero you defeat gives Doctor Siphon their power, and you keep it for the rest of the adventure.
• Like a Zelda dungeon, each temple is built around the power you took in the one before it. You can't get through Skyhawk's Aerie without Captain Bolt's Lightning Dash.
• The temples are played in order, and each one is harder than the last.
• Your progress saves in your browser.

Temple 1: The Storm Temple

Captain Bolt's temple sits above a storm-filled abyss. Cross the bridge of floating platforms, survive the lightning drones and the electrified floors, and light all three storm pylons to open the sealed door. Inside the arena, Bolt is hard to hit while he moves. Bait his dash into one of the pillars to stun him, then strike. He speeds up at two-thirds health and gets faster again at one-third, so jump his shockwaves. Win, and his Lightning Dash is yours.

The Storm Temple is always free to play.
