The '''Artifact Temple''' is a ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' exclusive area built by the [[Chozo]]. The Artifact Temple was built after a [[Leviathan]] crashed on [[Tallon IV]], creating the [[Impact Crater]]. The Chozo recognized the [[Phazon Corruption|destructiveness]] of [[Phazon]], so they sealed the Impact Crater with the Artifact Temple. Sealing the crater worked to some extent, severely slowing Phazon corruption throughout the planet, but not stopping it. The Artifact Temple is locked by twelve pillars requiring [[Chozo Artifact]]s to open. These Artifacts are scattered throughout Tallon IV to avoid easy access to the Impact Crater. Once [[Samus Aran|Samus]] finds all twelve keys, [[Meta Ridley]] attacks Samus on the Artifact Temple, where Samus defeats him and he presumably dies. This, however, is proven untrue in later games.

The Artifact Temple is the location of a mystical lock made up of twelve pillars requiring twelve [[Chozo Artifact]]s, known collectively as the Cipher, to open.<ref>{{cite| It is clear now that we Chozo can never return to our dimension, not while the Great Poison reaches ever further into the planet. It is so powerful, this creeping evil, that our wills are crumbling and our minds beginning to fail. And so, before it is too late, we now make our last stand. We have begun to build a temple to contain this darkness: at its heart we will place a Cipher, a mystical lock powered by twelve Artifacts and filled with as much power as we Chozo can harness in our ethereal states.|[[Chozo Lore]]|[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]}}</ref> These Artifacts are scattered throughout Tallon IV to avoid easy access to the Impact Crater.
