Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Barnstokkr tree, jump off the ledge to the left to find the Shard that leads to the Tower Trial.
  2. 2
    You'll arrive on a pier at night. Follow Dillion's light towards land.
  3. 3
    Before a broken section of the pier, interact with a drawbridge on the right to lower it.
  4. 4
    Take the stone stairs to a raised platform in the water. Focus on the large mask to travel to the light world (daytime, sunny, less damaged).
  5. 5
    Return across the drawbridge. In the light world, the pier is no longer broken. Take the wooden stairs to the tower base.
  6. 6
    A locked door is ahead. To its right, find Lorestone ᛒ (1/6).
  7. 7
    To the right of the Lorestone is a Rune Door. Focus on it to activate the puzzle.
  8. 8
    Continue past the Rune Door. A chained door is on your left. To the right, a pier leads over the water.
  9. 9
    Near the end of this pier, interact with a drawbridge on the right to lower it. Cross it and go up the stone stairs to the platform with the mask. Focus on the mask to return to the dark world.
  10. 10
    Now that the right-side drawbridge is down, cross it and use the other pier to reach the inland island with the tower.
  11. 11
    In the dark world, the previously chained gate ahead is now broken. Head through it. Dillion's light is visible inside the tower, but the door is overgrown.
  12. 12
    Find another mask here. Focus on it to return to the light world.
  13. 13
    In the light world, the tower door is open.
  14. 14
    On the ground floor, between two staircases, find Lorestone ᛖ (2/6).
  15. 15
    Go up one of the staircases. On the raised platform above the Lorestone, find Rune ᚠ by lining up light from a window with a pile of boxes.
  16. 16
    Exit the tower by unbarring the door opposite your entrance, then turn left and unbar the outside door leading back to the tower's front. Use the mask on the water platform to return to the dark world.
  17. 17
    Use the second pier and lowered bridge to return to the tower's front at night. Open the door, then the gate inside to enter the tower.
  18. 18
    Dillion's light is on the level above.
  19. 19
    Ahead, along the back wall, find Lorestone ᛏ (3/6).
  20. 20
    The stairway to the right of the Lorestone is shattered. Fix it by lining up the pieces and focusing on them. The correct position is left of the tower's entrance door.
  21. 21
    Head up the fixed stairs. Dillion's light passes through another Rune Door ahead.
  22. 22
    At the top of the stairs, Lorestone ᚱ (4/6) is ahead and to your right.
  23. 23
    Go to the Rune Door and activate its puzzle.
  24. 24
    Use the mask in the middle of the room to return to the light world. You'll see ᛏ Runes. The Rune is in a window next to the upstairs staircase. Use loose planks to complete the ᛏ arrow shape.
  25. 25
    Take the wooden staircase to a higher level. At the top, lower the drawbridge on your right. Do not cross it.
  26. 26
    Continue along the path outside the room. At the end, there's a locked door. You can unbar it, but it's not necessary yet.
  27. 27
    Turn right and follow the path. On the left side, find Lorestone ᛒ (5/6).
  28. 28
    Continue past the Lorestone until the path turns. Unbar the door on the left instead of following the path. Do not go outside.
  29. 29
    Return the way you came until you reach the bridge.
Tips
  • The masks allow you to switch between two versions of the same area: a dark, damaged world and a light, repaired world. This is key to solving many puzzles.
  • Lorestones provide background story and lore.
  • Runes are collected to open Rune Doors, which are necessary for progression.
  • Pay attention to environmental clues, such as light and shadows, to solve puzzles.
