Wuthering Waves: Thorncrown Rises Three Towers Locations (Shadows of the Past Quest)

Conquering Thorncrown Rises: A Comprehensive Guide to the Shadow of the Past Quest in Wuthering Waves

This guide details the Shadow of the Past quest in Wuthering Waves, focusing on locating and completing the three towers within Thorncrown Rises. This quest is initiated by speaking with Botim, located south of the Rinascita-Ragunna-Thessaleo Fells northern Resonance Beacon. He explains the tower's infestation with shadowy creatures and offers rewards for their elimination.

Locating the Three Towers

The quest involves three towers, each representing a sub-quest:

• Shadow of the Towers: Resounding Rise: Located northeast of Thorncrown Rises.
• Shadow of the Towers: Twilight Rise: Located south of Thorncrown Rises.
• Shadow of the Towers: Command Rise: Located southwest of Thorncrown Rises.

Shadow of the Towers: Resounding Rise

Begin by interacting with Itzel, positioned east of the Resounding Rise Tower. The tower's exploration involves:

1. Entering a painting at the hallway's end.
2. Following and defeating an Abyssal Mercator.
3. Collecting supply chests in the northern, western, and eastern rooms.
4. Entering a second painting in the eastern room.
5. Defeating additional Abyssal Mercators.
6. Following and defeating another Abyssal Mercator, then entering a final painting.

   • Painting behind top-left to bottom-left.
   • Top-right painting to top-left.
   • Painting behind bottom-right to top-right.
9. Collecting a Premium Supply chest.
10. Finally, defeating a final Abyssal Mercator and claiming a Tidal Supply chest from Itzel. This weakens one Command Rise Tower barrier.

This completes the Twilight Rise sub-quest and weakens the second Command Rise Tower barrier.

Shadow of the Towers: Command Rise

Completing the previous two sub-quests automatically unlocks the Command Rise sub-quest. The steps are:

1. Speaking with Insula and Itzel at the camp northeast of the tower.
2. Using a Wingray to reach the tower.
3. Entering the tower and following quest markers.
