Climbing Tower

The Climbing Tower is a challenging trial that Players may undertake to be rewarded with the gift of being able to climb the outside world.

Location
The Climbing Tower is most accessible through a pathway at the back of the Quarry. This treacherous journey will lead you past areas infested with Turabadas, a small Forest, and a long upwards trek.

The Challenge
The Climbing Tower is a challenge that will lock the Player in until they complete it. Once you activate the first of many Checkpoint Orbs, your items will be whisked away until the challenge is completed.

The challenge comprises 5 "levels" (or phases) with a Checkpoint Orb corresponding to each, and each gets progressively more difficult in terms of the climbing skill required. Climbing is performed by grabbing one of the specific grab points, such as Rough Stone, Wooden Planks, Metal Chains, and Hanging Metal Rings.

Once all of the phases have been completed, a button at the very top of the tower will provide the player with the (much deserved) climbing ability.

Technique
Climbing is an easy to learn, but hard to master skill. Though it can be difficult to convey how to climb through just text alone, there are a few techniques that can be translated:


 * Keeping your chest close to the wall you are climbing will result in better grip.
 * You must pull yourself up quickly with each grip, and never keep one hand off the climbable object for an extended period.
 * In some sections you must "fling" yourself, and this can be done by quickly moving your hands to the opposite direction of where you wish to go, and letting go to maintain momentum.

How long you can climb is dependant on your Stamina, and is displayed by a vertically-segmented circle on either of your wrists. Each side corresponds to the Stamina of either arm.
