Lioncrest Watchtower
March 20, 2026 at 01:28 AM
Initial version
Lioncrest Watchtower is a ruined military watchtower in the Hernand region of Pywel. Once used during wartime as a strategic observation point, the tower has since fallen into disrepair after years of neglect. By the time Kliff visits during Chapter 2, bandits have moved in and occupied the courtyard and lower floors.
The watchtower serves as the starting point for the main quest Where the Light Leads and is revisited during Memory Fragment and Reunion. A child named Rulupee can be found near the entrance, and it is through her that Kliff receives the prompt to follow a cat to the nearby ancient ruins during the Reunion quest.

The watchtower sits on elevated ground, giving it a clear line of sight over the surrounding countryside. The stone walls are cracked, portions of the upper floors have collapsed, and vegetation has started creeping through gaps in the masonry. Despite its deteriorated state, the tower is structurally sound enough to climb.
A checkpoint marker appears just outside the watchtower, which acts as a respawn point if Kliff is defeated during the bandit encounter. The courtyard at the base of the tower is where most of the fighting takes place, with archers positioned on elevated platforms above the melee fighters.

During Where the Light Leads, take out the archers first. They deal consistent damage while melee bandits are easier to manage with blocks and dodges.
Shrubbery blocks a doorway inside the tower. You can burn it with a fire arrow (light it using the nearby torch) or use the Focused Light technique. Alternatively, climb the tower exterior by jumping along the outer walls to reach the roof directly.
The Reunion quest teaches Nature's Grasp, which lets Kliff lift and move heavy objects. This ability is used frequently in later puzzles.
