The Kongs can collect the Rare Orb by touching it. When the temple's Rare Orb is collected the level ends. Once they collect all eight Rare Orb are collected, the Kongs can unlock the entrance to the hidden Golden Temple. When the Kongs go to the Golden Template the Rare Orbs float into holes in the door, opening the door.
