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 each of the three towers within Thorncrown Rises.

Quick Links:

Begin your journey by speaking with Botim, situated south of the Rinascita-Ragunna-Thessaleo Fells northern Resonance Beacon. He'll explain the plight of his family's ancestral site, infested with shadowy creatures emerging from three towers. Completing this task earns you valuable rewards and unlocks the Shadow of the Past quest.

Thorncrown Rises Tower Locations

Three towers comprise this quest, each triggering a sub-quest:

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

Shadow of the Towers: Resounding Rise

This sub-quest begins by interacting with Itzel, east of the Resounding Rise Tower. The tower's challenges include:

  • Navigating hallways and interacting with paintings to progress.
  • Confronting and defeating multiple Abyssal Mercators.
  • Collecting numerous Supply chests scattered throughout the tower.
  • Solving a painting puzzle by correctly rearranging them in specific displays.

Successfully completing the puzzle weakens one of the Command Rise Tower barriers.

Shadow of the Towers: Twilight Rise

After the Resounding Rise, proceed southeast to the Twilight Rise Tower and speak with Insula. This sub-quest involves:

  • Investigating marked locations for clues.
  • Discovering and traversing a secret passage.
  • Defeating an Abyssal Patricius.
  • Collecting Supply chests.

Completing this sub-quest weakens the second Command Rise Tower barrier.

Shadow of the Towers: Command Rise

This final sub-quest automatically activates after completing the previous two. Key steps include:

  • Consulting with Insula and Itzel at the camp northeast of the tower.
  • Utilizing the Wingray for aerial access to the tower.
  • Engaging in combat against enemies and collecting Supply chests throughout the tower's multiple levels.
  • Utilizing grappling mechanics to reach higher areas and overcome obstacles.
  • Solving environmental puzzles involving moving libraries and chandeliers.
  • Defeating a final Abyssal Patricius.

Upon defeating the final boss, you'll receive the Call of the Abyss Rectifier and a Premium Supply chest. Exiting the tower via the portal and speaking with your companions grants you the King of Thessaleo and Shadow of the Tower achievements.
