Navigating the treacherous world of Mournstead requires players to locate and purify five primary beacons scattered across hazardous zones. One of the most tricky destinations is the Tower of Penance, a massive structure filled with vertical challenges, lethal drops, and formidable bosses. Understanding how to reach the top of this imposing tower is essential for advancing your campaign smoothy and cleansing the corrupted beacon.
Reaching the Tower of Penance
To find the Tower of Penance, players must first progress past the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers area. Crossing the bridge leads directly into a mandatory mini-boss encounter against Blessed Carrion Knight Sanisho. Defeating this enemy grants entry into the entrance hall of the structure itself.
Descending the Interior Platforms
Once inside, progression requires carefully dropping down a series of wooden platforms and ladders. Navigating both the Axiom and Umbral realms will help reveal hidden paths and secure valuable loot along the way. Reaching the very bottom triggers the main area boss fight against Tancred, Master of Castigations.
Using the Elevator to Access the Beacon
After defeating Tancred and acquiring Tancred's Key, exit into the outer elevator room. Unlock the door and step onto the lift mechanism. Instead of exiting after riding it once, press the upper lever to send the elevator up a second time to reach the roof where the beacon stands.
Purifying the Beacon
At the top of the tower, players will find the beacon waiting to be cleansed. Interacting with it alters the world state and brings you one step closer to completing the game's central objective. Make sure to thoroughly check the roof area for additional rare items before moving on to the next region.
