Thorncrown Rises Three Towers Locations

- Shadow of the Towers: Resounding Rise: The northeastern tower.
- Shadow of the Towers: Twilight Rise: The southern tower.
- Shadow of the Towers: Command Rise: The southwestern tower.
Shadow of the Towers: Resounding Rise

- Interacting with paintings to navigate hidden areas.
- Defeating Abyssal Mercators.
- Collecting supply chests throughout the tower.
- Correctly rearranging paintings within the tower to progress. This involves a specific sequence of moving paintings between designated display areas.
Completing this phase weakens one barrier on the Command Rise Tower.
Shadow of the Towers: Twilight Rise
Proceed southeast to the Twilight Rise tower and speak to Insula to enter. The sub-quest involves:
- Investigating marked locations for clues.
- Navigating a looping area.
- Confronting and defeating an Abyssal Patricius.
- Collecting supply chests.
This concludes the Twilight Rise sub-quest and weakens a second barrier on the Command Rise Tower.
Shadow of the Towers: Command Rise
The final sub-quest activates upon completing the previous two. This involves:
- Interacting with Insula and Itzel at a camp northeast of the Command Rise Tower.
- Utilizing a Wingray for aerial access to the tower.
- Navigating the tower's interior, utilizing grappling mechanics to reach higher levels.
- Defeating enemies and collecting numerous supply chests.
- Solving a puzzle involving moving libraries to reach higher areas.
- Defeating a final Abyssal Patricius.
Successfully completing the Command Rise Tower yields the Call of the Abyss Rectifier, a Premium Supply chest, the King of Thessaleo Achievement, and the Shadow of the Tower Achievement.
