Temple Escape is a boss encounter found in the League of Explorers adventure. It is the third and final boss of the adventure's first wing, Temple of Orsis.
Hearthstone's first escape encounter, the Temple Escape hero is Immune and does not have a Health count. Rather than defeating the hero, to win this match you must survive until the "turns to escape" count reaches 0. The boss has no deck, and does not play cards or draw cards at the start of the turn. The boss uses its Hero Power 
Escape! at the start of every turn to summon a minion or cause an effect. The "turns to escape" count goes down at the end of the boss' turn.
At the start of many turns, the player will be allowed to choose between two different options. The encounters and options are listed below.

Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Temple Escape notes.
- Despite its unusual behaviour, the Temple Escape hero is still a normal boss, simply one that is immune, has no deck, and uses a very unusual Hero Power. If the boss is somehow supplied with cards, a weapon, or a different Hero Power, it will make use of them to the best of its ability.[1][2] Ways to achieve this include
Blingtron 3000, Lorewalker Cho, and Mindgames in combination with Majordomo Executus. If the boss turns into a different hero such as Lord Jaraxxus or Ragnaros the Firelord, then the countdown will freeze and the only way to win the encounter will be destroying the replacement hero. - This boss has no deck and does not draw cards at the start of the turn. However, forcing it to draw cards will cause it to suffer Fatigue damage, although this normally will be mitigated by the boss' Immune status.
