Guide: Find Thorncrown Towers for "Shadows of the Past" Quest

Wuthering Waves: Conquering the Thorncrown Rises Towers – A Comprehensive Guide

This guide details the location and completion of the three Thorncrown Rises towers in Wuthering Waves, crucial to progressing the "Shadow of the Past" quest. This quest is initiated by speaking with Botim, located south of the Rinascita-Ragunna-Thessaleo Fells northern Resonance Beacon. Botim explains a family legacy and the need to deal with shadowy creatures plaguing three ancestral towers.

Thorncrown Rises Tower Locations:

Three towers require exploration:

• Resounding Rise: Northeast of Thorncrown Rises.
• Twilight Rise: South of Thorncrown Rises.
• Command Rise: Southwest of Thorncrown Rises.

Shadow of the Towers: Resounding Rise

Begin by speaking with Itzel, east of the Resounding Rise Tower. Navigate the tower as follows:

1. Interact with the painting at the hallway's end to enter a hidden area.
2. Follow quest markers to engage and defeat Abyssal Mercators.
3. Collect supply chests in the northern, western, and eastern rooms.
4. Use a second painting to access another area.
5. Defeat additional enemies and collect more chests.
6. Pursue and defeat another Abyssal Mercator.
7. Interact with a painting to follow the creature.
8. Open the chest at the hallway's end to stop the enemy attacks.
9. Defeat the blocking enemy.

Solve the painting puzzle:

1. Move the top-left painting to the bottom-right display.
2. Move the painting behind the top-left display to the bottom-left display.
3. Move the top-right painting to the top-left display.
4. Move the painting behind the bottom-right display to the top-right display.
5. Collect the Premium Supply chest.

Finally, engage the last Abyssal Mercator, speak with Itzel, and collect the Tidal Supply chest. This weakens one Command Rise Tower barrier.

Shadow of the Towers: Twilight Rise

Proceed southeast to the Twilight Rise Tower and speak with Insula to enter. Follow quest markers until the time loop is revealed:

1. Investigate the three marked spots for clues.
2. Speak with Insula.
3. Enter the secret passage beneath the elevator.
4. Defeat the Abyssal Patricius.
5. Collect the Supply chest and continue pursuing the Patricius.
6. Defeat the Patricius a final time.
7. Speak with Insula again.
8. Collect the Tidal Supply chest.

Completing this weakens the second Command Rise Tower barrier.

Shadow of the Towers: Command Rise

This automatically begins after completing the previous two towers.

1. Speak with Insula and Itzel at the camp northeast of the Command Rise Tower.
2. Use the Wingray to fly towards the Command Rise Tower.
3. Enter the tower and follow quest markers.
4. Collect supply chests.
5. Utilize the grapple to ascend, collecting chests along the way.
6. Defeat the Abyssal Patricius.
7. Collect the chest and continue grappling upwards.
8. Use the chandelier mechanism to reach the tower's peak.

Explore thoroughly; many chests and two Ragunna Sonance Caskets are scattered throughout. After defeating the final Abyssal Patricius, you'll receive the Call of the Abyss Rectifier and a Premium Supply chest. Speaking with Insula and Itzel afterwards awards the King of Thessaleo and Shadow of the Tower achievements.
