Planet Zerard - Gladius Towers

Navigate the confusing Gladius Towers in Rogue Company with our comprehensive walkthrough. Find all blueprints, items, and learn enemy weaknesses.

Before braving the Gladius Towers, several new Factory Blueprints can be acquired in Zerard from various NPCs:

• Blueprint 12: Off-the-Hook CD Case: Obtained from Chad at Zerard's Depot.
• Blueprint 04: Gun of the Righteous: Obtained from Lark inside the Spaceport.
• Blueprint 11: Legendary Demon Spear: Obtained from Ricarn near the West Side Weapon Shop.
• Blueprint 05: Claw Glowing With Evil: Obtained from Duella inside the West Side Weapon Shop.
• Blueprint 10: Winged Thunder Bow: Obtained from Masculine in the East Side Item Shop.
• Blueprint 13: Chaos-Inducing Whopper: Obtained from Sulman in the East Side Weapon Shop.
• Blueprint 06: Well-Honed Drill Bit: Obtained from Rumar inside Starship Factory Assembly Line 1.

To reach the Gladius Towers, teleport to the Galaxy Corporation. The north exit from the reception area leads to a walkway towards the Towers. Tower 1 is to the west, and Tower 2 is at the end of the east path. To obtain the Key Piece, both towers must be conquered. The order of tackling the towers does not matter, as you will traverse between them via connecting bridges. Starting in Tower 1 leads to the top of Tower 2, and vice versa. After completing the events in one tower, return to the first floor and climb the other.

The journey can be confusing due to bridges connecting the towers. Note that there are both upper and lower bridges, and the path from Tower 1 to Tower 2 is not the same as the path from Tower 2 to Tower 1. An event may occur on the third-floor bridge when traveling from Tower 1 to Tower 2, which might not be present if you started in Tower 2.

Upon approaching the entrance of your chosen tower, an event will trigger, leading you to Dr. Pocacchio's Lab in the Starship Factory. You must return to the Gladius Towers and use Steve's Burst Mode Switch in a Thinking Circle to gain access. Inside, another event will occur, granting you the Libra King's Sword. After this, save your game at the Transporter and proceed to 2F via the elevator.

Uncommon Materials

Redbolts may drop Biomemory, which can also be bought at shops. The same applies to Izerium Alloy. Edensia is a rare gemstone; obtaining it here is fortunate.

Gladius Towers - 2F

The area maps for Gladius Towers - 2F depict both Tower 1 and Tower 2. Be mindful of confusion when moving between towers. Item locations are indicated differently based on your starting tower. If you begin in Tower 1, look for items with a Circle border. If you start in Tower 2, seek items with a Square border. This distinction becomes more important on 3F when inter-tower travel is frequent.

Treasure List (Tower 1 Start)

1. Primeval Beef
2. Forbidden Add-On
3. Hyper-Gravity Sensor (Thief's Trap)
4. Cursed Mask

Treasure List (Tower 2 Start)

1. Famished Wolf

If you started in Tower 1: Head north from the elevator, bypass the east path, and take the west path. Ascend stairs and continue west into a small area containing a chest with Primeval Beef. Return west to the previously bypassed east path and follow it to another stairway. At the top is a chest.
