In the North Tower, you will need to solve Torch Puzzles on each floor. If you want to know how to solve each puzzle, check out our “Trails in Tianqiu” Torch Puzzle Guide here.
In the South Tower, you will need to defeat enemies within a limited time. Below are the enemies for each challenge:
FLOOR | ENEMIES |
First Floor | – 3 Rock Shield Hilichurl Guards – 1 Electro Hilichurl Shooter Note: These enemies are buffed by an Electro infusion stone nearby which you can destroy. |
Second Floor | – 2 Large Pyro Slimes – 1 Pyro Hilichurl Shooter – 1 Pyro Hilichurl Grenadier – 1 Hilichurl Berserker Note: These enemies are buffed by a Pyro infusion stone nearby which you can destroy. |
Third Floor | – 1 Hydro Abyss Mage – 1 Large Cryo Slime – 1 Large Hydro Slime – 2 Cryo Hilichurl Shooters Note: These enemies are buffed by a Cryo infusion stone nearby which you can destroy. |
To complete these challenges, make sure to modify your party to counter the enemies. For example, bringing at least one Pyro character for the Third Floor challenge is vital for defeating the the Cryo Slime in time. If you want a refresher, you can check out our guide for elemental reactions here.
