How to Activate the Spire of Soaring
The Spire of Soaring is one of eight Spires that Kliff must activate during the Toward the Nest main quest in Chapter 5. This Spire sits in the northern part of the Demeniss region and involves redirecting power through wall panels using Axiom Force.

Step 1: Enter the Tower from Below
Rather than going through the main entrance, drop down the cliffs to the right side of the tower. At the bottom you will find a cave that leads into the tower's basement interior.
Step 2: Ride the Wind Platform Upward
Inside the tower, locate the blue wind platform. Jump onto it and activate your glider by double-pressing Square. The wind current launches you upward through the tower's vertical shaft. You will keep rising until you hit a platform that blocks further ascent.
Step 3: Reroute Power on the Top Floor
On this floor, use Axiom Force (hold L3 and rotate the right stick) to turn the wall panels and redirect the power flow. The goal is to move the energy from the left wall all the way to the right wall. Start with the bottom-left panel and work your way across to the bottom-right panel.
Warning: Do not remove the two blue balls powering the wind turbine below. They are needed for the air currents that carry you through the tower.
Step 4: Activate the Middle Platform
Once the power is properly redirected, the central platform rises. Step onto the air stream again to reach the next level. Here you will find a large circular wall panel. Rotate it twice using Axiom Force to align the power lines in a left-to-bottom-to-right configuration.
Warning: Do not extract the battery below the top floor. It powers the wall panel directly above it.
Step 5: Ride to the Top
Stand on the platform and wait as it lifts you toward the top of the tower. The ascent takes roughly two minutes. Stay on the platform until you reach the Abyss in the sky, which completes the Spire activation.
Tips
If you fall during the ascent, you reset to the last floor. The puzzle state is preserved, so you do not need to redo the panel rotations.
The Axiom Force rotation can feel awkward at first. Rotate the right stick slowly to get precise panel alignment.
After completing this Spire, you proceed directly to the Crescent Skybridge challenge.
