The initial ascent of the Leaning Tower is a vertical gauntlet. You'll encounter Harpy enemies that fly in from the sides, often carrying Fleamen that they drop. Prioritize taking out the Harpies to prevent being overwhelmed. There are also Ghouls that crawl on the walls and ceilings; they are slow but can be tricky to hit. The tower itself will periodically tilt, causing platforms to shift and making jumps more difficult. Anticipate these shifts and time your movements carefully. John's whip swing is invaluable for traversing gaps and reaching higher ledges, while Eric's double jump and spear vault make vertical progression smoother. The Boomerang (Cross) is highly effective against flying enemies and enemies on opposite walls. Look for hidden passages in the walls that can lead to power-ups or shortcuts. break candles for hearts and sub-weapons.
