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 the three towers within Thorncrown Rises. This quest is initiated by speaking with Botim, located south of the Rinascita-Ragunna-Thessaleo Fells northern Resonance Beacon. He explains the tower's infestation by shadowy monsters and offers rewards for their elimination.

Tower Locations and Sub-Quests

Thorncrown Rises features three towers, each representing a sub-quest:

• Shadow of the Towers: Resounding Rise (Northeastern Tower): Interact with Itzel, east of the tower, to begin. This sub-quest involves navigating the tower's interior, solving a painting puzzle, and defeating multiple Abyssal Mercators. Successfully completing the puzzle and defeating the final Mercator weakens one of the Command Rise Tower barriers.

• Shadow of the Towers: Twilight Rise (Southern Tower): Speak with Insula to enter the Twilight Rise Tower. This sub-quest involves investigating clues, navigating a looping area, and defeating an Abyssal Patricius. Completing this weakens the second Command Rise Tower barrier.

• Shadow of the Towers: Command Rise (Southwestern Tower): This sub-quest activates automatically after completing the Resounding and Twilight Rises. It involves traveling to the Command Rise Tower (potentially using the Wingray), navigating its intricate levels (using the grapple mechanic to reach higher areas), defeating another Abyssal Patricius, and solving environmental puzzles. Numerous supply chests are scattered throughout the tower. Successfully completing this sub-quest rewards the King of Thessaleo and Shadow of the Tower achievements.
