55 There are 8 Spire Challenges tracked under the Land Meets Sky tab in the Journal. Each spire contains a multi-floor puzzle that ends at an Abyss Gate on the summit, which teleports you to sky islands holding loot, recipes, and Abyss Artifacts. Some spires are freely accessible; others require quest keys. Completing all 8 is one of the nine subcategories needed for the Expert Explorer gold trophy.

1515 Tackle the free-access towers first, then complete the story-gated spires as Chapter 5 and Chapter 9 unlock them. Every spire uses a unique mechanic: riddle bowls at Spire of Insight, symbol-to-stone matching at Spire of the Stars, a Skybridge puzzle using Vertical Flight at Spire of Soaring, and gear rotation at Spire of Clockwork. Reaching the summit Abyss Gate counts the challenge complete. For walkthroughs, see Spire Challenges.

2323 Unlock Force Palm and its upgrades before Spire of Clockwork and Spire of the Stars; both use Force Palm on switches and machinery. Concentrated Light helps at Spire of Insight. Examine statues and inscriptions before leaving a floor; several spires hide switch prompts behind decorations without a waypoint. Keep an inventory slot free when reaching a summit Abyss Gate so pickups do not fail.
