How to Beat The Tower:
----------------------
SIGILS: All located around the middle of the Tower’s visible body
GRAPPLE POINTS: Several around the middle of its body, can be used to reduce
climbing time from the various points of the Tower’s body that are safe to stand
on when it is immobile.
ITEMS REQUIRED: None
Once you enter its arena, “The Tower” will dramatically surface from the lake, be
ready to run as soon as control is given back to you, as whilst it is immobile, it
will frequently fire off energy blasts at you. These blasts are highly damaging
and move very quickly, but dont track once they have been fired, so you should be
able to avoid them if sprinting/dodging directly away once it is fired. You can
see when you are being targeted when the light shining from the Tower’s mouth is
shining on you.
Sometimes the Tower will also spin its head around in a circle, spewing out a
putrid-looking black fog, which also spawns many small blue orbs that travel
towards your position. They will damage you on contact, so try to keep away from
them. There is only really one way to get up onto the Tower and defeat it. You
have to run around the circular arena and step on three pressure plates to raise
several orbs from the ground. Keep still on the pressure plate and the Tower will
fire at you, directly hitting and lighting up the orb that you just raised. Do
this for all three orbs around the arena, and you will be able to activate the
large pressure plate at the back of the arena, with will briefly stun the Tower,
causing it to fall down with its mouth in the water.
Use your Sail Cloth to try and glide over as much of the freezing cold water as
you can, then swim over to the Tower. You can climb up onto it here, and as you
do it will raise back up into the air, allowing you to climb down and reach its
three sigils. They are moslty around the middle area of The Tower and are not
hard to find, if you have trouble, jump down onto the protruding spike-platforms
(which you can stand on, allowing you to restore your stamina), you can usually
see the sigils from these platforms. The Tower will shake periodically as you
climb it, and will shake every time you attack a sigil. It can still perform
its black fog attack whilst you are climbing on it, and the blue orbs will
float down towards you and stick to its fur, which can be a hazard whilst
climbing. If one is coming towards you, either drop down to a lower platform
or leap forwards away from it to avoid taking the damage.
Once you have attacked all three sigils three times each, the Tower will be
defeated and a cutscene will play, after which you will be taken back to the
Temple.
MAP POINTS:
-----------
#1 Hard to miss, the first Map Point can be found on the icy wall above the first
Grapple Point that you grapple to using your Grappling Hook.
#2 The second Map Point can be found on the wall just outside the Temple.
Once you collect the Sail Cloth, it will be at the base of the stairs in
front of you, to the left side.
Tips and Tricks:
----------------
* There are symbols hidden in some caves that expand your map.
* At the entrance to the temple is a small gate (right below where you got the
glider). If you enter it, there is a short cutscene. This cutscene changes
every time you defeat a boss, so keep coming back to get the lore.
* Although exploring the overworld is optional, it is highly beneficial. Having
consumables like food and health potions is very helpful to defeat each boss,
but not necessary. You can also upgrade your gear, or even find upgrades. Most
of all, Totems let you upgrade you base amount of stamina, as well as health
(although I would prioritise stamina first.)
* There is a bright light in the sky above the next boss you are to battle, as
well as a mark on your map (although it is intentionally large and vague.) You
aren’t supposed to know how to defeat the boss. You have to solve the puzzle
of each boss yourself. Remember that you have five main abilities to work with:
Climb, arrows, grapplehook, glider, and sword. Some bosses have multiple ways
of defeating them, so while something may be working, there may be a more
intended approach that you haven’t thought of.
* Hunger and sleep (represented by the green and blue circles) affect your
stamina’s ability to regenerate. When you hunger bar is full, your stamina
will regenerate much faster than when your hunger is empty, but using your
stamina also drains your hunger faster. Sleep on the other hand, affects how
long it takes for your stamina to start regenerating. After you run, dodge,
or climb, you’ll see your stamina doesn’t immediately regenerate. That pause
is longer when you don’t rest.
* When your cold meter is empty, you will start to take damage. All of the
effects I just listed for sleep, hunger, and cold, are more obvious on harder
difficulties and survival ratings. I didn’t notice them hardly at all unless
I was on the hardest for both, which is how I decided to play the game.
* Not all food is like that. Berries, yes, but cooked deer meat fills almost
half your health (your starting health at least.) Other food, like cooked
mushrooms, replenish warmth or sleep. You will get better food with time.
You need to chop down trees to get wood. Just hit the tree with your sword,
then find a campfire stove. These are in the caves I mentioned with the maps,
as well as bed rolls often.
* I explained sleep, but it also makes time pass. This can help when theres
a snow storm.
As a final word, this game is about feeling small. Feeling lost. Feeling unsure.
So embrace that feeling. Everything I just told you I learned the hard way. I
figured it out by reading the notes scattered around the map, or just trying
things out.
