Core Disciple Roen

Roen is a confident disciple. He never backs down and rarely stops attacking.

Core Disciple Kyre

Kyre is a patient disciple. You can never quite know when he will release his swing.

Tower Enemies

Map Level 1

Enemies FIRST encountered on Map Level 1.

Denizens

Aspiring Swordman

Othari Weakling

Othari Grunt

Fallen Recruit

Fallen Soldier

Fallen Guard

Enraged Soul

Lost Soul

Bosses

All Level 1 Bosses have an enclosed arena / room you drop into. Once you've dropped, winning the boss fight is the only way out or deeper.

Basalt Golem

To kill him you must mine all of his basalt ore. Strikes to the body do nothing.

Forgotten Knight

You can start a Lesser Essence Crystal infusion at the table BEFORE starting the fight if you hug the right wall.

Fallen Guard Captain

Retreating in a circle around the raised chests may provide a more opportunities to avoid hits if you need a reprieve from head-to-head combat.

Map Level 2

Enemies FIRST encountered on Map Level 2. Many enemies from Map Level 1 will also be found on Level 2.

Denizens

Cave Scavenger

Cave Stalker

Cave Stalkers appear suddenly when you are near their hiding spot. You will NOT SEE them ahead of time, LISTEN closely though.

Cave Dweller Elite

Lesser Ice Golem

Swing to hit the glowing core, which is exposed to different attack angles depending on the golem's attack stance.

Bosses

Ancient Soul

Ancient Ice Golem

Similar to the lesser, swing to hit the glowing core, which is exposed to different attack angles depending on the golem's attack stance. Unlike the lesser, this one will also block, which stacks a minor debuff on you.

Ice Wraith

Ice Wraith is the only Level 2 boss in an enclosed, inescapable room similar to Level 1.

Summons minions to join the fight!

Map Level 3

Enemies FIRST encountered on Map Level 3. No enemies from prior floors will be found on Level 3.

Denizens

Initiate Cultivator

Flame Acolyte

Reanimated Lizard

Bosses

Korgothok

Dropping into the pit does NOT require you to fight immediately as Korgothok is always faced away. You can open the gate to the right and leave the room without being attacked.

Look at the floor. There are four raised plates, two on each side, that activate the giant swinging axes built into the pit.

Note Korgothok's default position before you drop in. A death anywhere EXCEPT in front of his default position will allow you to respawn, drop back into his pit, loot your crystal, and re-equip your gear before continuing the fight.

Map Level 4

Enemies FIRST encountered on Map Level 4. The Initiate Cultivator and Flame Acolyte from Map Level 3 will also be found on Level 4.

Bosses

Puppeteer

Stepping on the raised platform starts the encounter and closes the entrance door.

The Puppeteer will animate some of statues around the platform one at a time for you to fight. Animation progresses on a timer, it does NOT wait for you to defeat the previous animated enemy.

Once you have defeated enough animated enemies, the Steel Puppet will step down to challenge you.

Defeating the Steel Puppet will cause the Puppeteer to finally step down and fight you herself.

End Boss

Opposite the Puppeteer's Throne Room is a stairwell leading to the final white portal to exit the Tower.

Next to the portal is the Portal Transformer. Paying 2,000 Essence and 1 Greater Essence Crystal cost will convert the portal from white to blue.

While blue, the portal will teleport you to the End Boss Arena instead of exiting the Tower. Upon entering the End Boss Arena you will be on a raised platform from which you can drop to engage the Final Boss.

The Final Boss is NOT MEANT TO BE DEFEATED!

WHEN YOU FAIL you will be teleported to the start of Map 4 with all of your loot/gear and the same Tower Time left as when you entered the Final Boss Arena.

The purpose of the Final Boss fight is to count damage done, AFTER breaking their aura shield, towards completion of the End Boss Quest.
