Wuthering Waves: Conquering the Thorncrown Rises Towers – A Comprehensive Guide

This guide details the location and completion strategies for the three towers within Thorncrown Rises in Wuthering Waves, part of the Shadow of the Past quest. 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.

Thorncrown Rises Tower Locations:

Three towers comprise this challenging 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.
