The Temple of Lantimor, also known as the Dark Citadel, named in Infinity Blade: Awakening, is the tower in which the events of Infinity Blade I took place. Raidriar, the "God King," visits the tower when the time comes to battle reborn iterations of Ausar. Players of Infinity Blade I fight through enemies to eventually reach the temple's peak, where the Dark Knight and Raidriar are found. It's also accessible from the Ausar Rising update of Infinity Blade III, where a Soulless version of Ausar was awoken and claims the tower for himself, and Siris, the redeemed Ausar went there to face the Soulless.
Story[]
The God King accompanied by his personal bodyguard The Dark Knight resides at the throne room where the First Ancestor arrives to challenge the God King to combat. Here he is disarmed by the Dark Knight, and the God King approaches and executes him using The Infinity Blade. Once of fighting age, generations of offspring of the Ancestor each fight their way through the castle defeating guarding titans before continuing the tradition of challenging the God King in the hope of defeating him and ending his rule over the region. Eventually, the offspring going by the name Siris makes his own attempt, proceeding through the courtyard, into the castle through the central gate, and ascending to the throne room via an elevator. He defeats the Dark Knight, and then proceeds to battle the God King. Siris is disarmed, but the God King offers Siris the chance to ally with him. Siris retrieves his weapon and shield in rejection of the offer, spurring the battle to continue. Sensing that the God King has been worn down over the course of the battle, Siris throws aside his weapon and shield and snatches the Infinity Blade from the God King, slashing him from the side and leaving him impaled. He exchanges dialogue with Siris before dying.
After defeating the God King, Siris notices an electronic panel on the God King's throne. Upon interacting with it, a holographic projector descends from the ceiling, displaying a 3D hologram of the planet. With the Infinity Blade in possession, Siris continues to explore the castle, soon encountering the God King's dungeon. Using an obelisk carved out in the shape of the Infinity Blade, it turns out to be a key which opens doors to soul cells containing Deathless prisoners. Each of the prisoners engage Siris in battle, leading to him defeating each of them in turn with the Infinity Blade, permanently killing them. Afterwards, Siris enters what turns out to be a rebirth chamber, containing apparent clones of the God King. Siris is then challenged by an armored mech, which after he disables it, emerges Archarin, who turns out to be one of the offspring of the Ancestor who instead of falling to the God King in combat, elects to ally with him. Siris battles and defeats Archarin, leaving the castle without a ward.
The castle falls into disrepair, much of the structure crumbling over many years of abandonment, including the entirety of the throne room which originally extended outwards from the peak of the atrium elevator. Soulless Ausar eventually claims the castle for himself, using it as a refuge. Becoming aware of him using the castle, Siris returns to it, retreading the same path which he took towards the God King to this time confront Soulless Ausar, who he finds in the atrium. The elevator has collapsed into the chasm which previously led into the dungeon. Siris find Soulless Ausar by a new 'throne' formed of the corpses of slain daerils. Siris battles Soulless Ausar, but on the cusp of defeating him by thrusting him into the dungeon chasm, Soulless Ausar pulls Siris over the edge of with him, where they are both killed from fatal fall injury, Soulless Ausar permanently.

Ealoseum's Soul Cell[]
Ealoseum's Soul Cell can be reached by moving through the left-most door, the cell itself is the most basic of the three, being mostly empty with the exception of a lone dead tree in the center and Ealoseum sitting under it.
