“All in all, it's a really nice set. The gateway itself isn't much. It's well designed but I don't think I'll keep it built for long. Depends on whether they make new buildings to go along, I guess. But the monsters are really good and of, course, the minifigs are absolutely... More fantastic.”

“I would say the overall impression is not really that good, the minifigs, which includes the Squid warrior and divers, are quite impressive, especially the very cool Squid warrior, but the squids and the temple are disappointing.”

Brickipedia
“The sunken temple ruin consists of a golden gateway with a big altar behind it where a golden treasure chest is stored. At the front, a stairway leads up to a small platform with a round stone in front of the gate. The stone can accept the included squid key and is connected... More to a system of strap reels that are connected to the gate. Turning the key on the stone piece opens the gateway.”
