The rain was relentless that day in Nod-Krai when I finally reached the Tower of Inversion. Whispers of the Lightkeepers echoed in the wind, a history shrouded in mystery, compelling me forward. As I stood before the monolithic structure, I knew this journey would change everything I thought I understood about Genshin Impact.
Entering the Tower of Inversion: A Traveler’s First Steps
Ever notice how the most imposing doors are often the easiest to open? The Tower of Inversion in Genshin Impact is no exception. This quest is central to the Luna IV storyline, specifically Illuga’s background. Here’s a straightforward walkthrough to guide you through this pivotal quest.
Before you even think about stepping inside, you will face a horde of Abyssal enemies. Defeat them to clear the path, then channel the power of Kuuvahki to gain entrance. It’s like using the right key; brute force won’t work here.
Purifying the Core: A Test of Reflexes
Think of the Abyssal energy as a virus infecting a computer. Inside, more monsters await. After dealing with them, approach the core and attempt purification. This triggers a series of Abyssal portal attacks.
Your agility is tested here; dodging is key. The portals fire projectiles, so keep moving to evade damage. It’s a chaotic dance, demanding quick reflexes and spatial awareness.
Illuga’s Guidance: Platforming to the Barrier Core
Ever felt lost in a new city only to have a friendly local point you in the right direction? That’s Illuga in this quest. He appears, creating platforms for you to traverse towards the barrier core.
Stay close to Illuga. His platforms are temporary, and straying ahead means certain doom. Follow his lead to reach the core safely.
Reaching the Other Side: Trusting Illuga’s Platforms
At the top, Illuga tasks you with activating the barrier core on the opposite side. This time, he won’t lead directly, but his platforms remain. Proceed cautiously, waiting for each platform to materialize before moving forward.
Cleansing Corruption: Restoring the Barrier Cores
This is where things get intricate. You need to cleanse the corruption and restore three barrier cores. Each core presents a unique challenge.
How do you restore the first barrier core in Genshin Impact?
First, go to the quest marker on the right and eliminate the Abyssal enemies. Locate the nearby Kuuvahki flower and absorb its power. Use this power to target the spiky marks on the Abyssal threads blocking the particle. Destroying these threads will trigger another wave of enemies.
Defeat these enemies, then approach the broken particle and store it. Aim upwards towards the barrier core and launch the particle to restore it. It’s like fitting the last piece of a puzzle.
Where is the second barrier core in Genshin Impact?
Move to the middle quest marker. Use the Kuuvahki plant’s power to sever the Abyssal threads. Collect the broken particle and shoot it at the core. After placing the particle, more enemies appear. Defeat them, and more threads emerge. Sever these, locate the core piece, and restore it.
What’s the trick to completing the third barrier core in Genshin Impact?
The final core demands a different approach. Instead of severing threads, you’ll use Kuuvahki objects to create a link to the main panel. Pick up the three Kuuvahki objects and position them between the board-like structures to establish a connection.
Carry the final piece between the last board and the main panel to finalize the circuit. This opens a tunnel. Inside, a similar challenge awaits. Grab the Kuuvahki object from the left and proceed straight to complete the connection. Retrieve the two broken pieces and launch them at the barrier core above to solve this final puzzle.
Ascent to the Summit: The Final Stretch
With the barrier cores restored, use the Kuuvahki path to exit the tower. Another Kuuvahki path awaits at the base, providing passage to the summit.
Touching the Core: Unveiling Nod-Krai’s Secrets
At the very peak, touching the core completes the Tower of Inversion quest. A conversation with Alia ensues, revealing more about Nod-Krai’s history and the Lightkeeper’s origins.
With the Tower of Inversion quest complete, the lore of Genshin Impact deepens. But how will this newfound knowledge shape your journey through Teyvat?
