How To Unlock Sorcerer’s Rise Towers In Elden Ring Nightreign

by

In Elden Ring Nightreign, many locations are generally clear-cut, but the Sorcerer’s Rises present a challenge due to intricate puzzles instead of an abundance of enemies. Navigating to these towers can be perplexing for new adventurers because the solutions to their puzzles may not appear evident initially, especially when dealing with time constraints.

If you can crack the mysteries of the Sorcerer’s Rises, you stand to gain powerful weapons and talismans particularly beneficial for spellcasters. For those playing as Recluse or Revenant, this could be a location worth exploring first. But before that, it’s crucial to learn the tricks on how to access it initially.

How To Reach The Top Of The Sorcerer’s Rise

At certain towers, you’ll find a locked or sealed door either at the entrance or on the upper level (specifically, the second floor; however, it may also be the entrance if you don’t complete the following actions beforehand).

Regardless, getting through these seals will not always require the same solution.

Since the question about how to solve the tower puzzle has come up often, if you’ve already figured out the puzzle door but are unsure about climbing the tower interior, please step inside the tower. Inside, there will be a pile of crystals. You can leap on these crystals and use parkour techniques to ascend to the higher levels within the tower.

How To Enter Mage Towers With A First Floor Seal

Before diving into finding a method to unlock a sealed door, take a moment to examine the door itself. If this door is meant for ground-level access, then your potential solutions will typically fall under one of these categories:

Illusory Door If the door has nothing on it, that means it is an illusory door. You don’t need to look for anything; simply walk through it.
Gargoyle If there is a gargoyle statue with a book next to the stairs, hit it to open the door.
On The Wall Check above the door and on the left side of the building for a circle sigil plastered to the wall. You need to strike it. This sigil can also be hidden on the left side behind a wooden add-on that shouldn’t be there; destroy that to reveal the sigil.
Pond Check inside the pond for a sigil on the ground. You’ll have to run or jump over it to destroy the sigil.
Trees On the left, a pair of rustling trees or a set of dead trees may appear. The rustling trees can be run through, and the dead trees must be struck.
Moving Tree Trunk There’s a moving tree trunk that you can chase around the towers. It must be defeated to release the sigil’s hold on the door.

Additionally, there’s another Mage’s Tower not included in the provided solutions: The Rise of the Spirit Spring.

If you come across a closed door leading to a tower and notice some spirit springs handy for leaping around, the key to entering the tower lies in not tackling any riddles or breaking symbols. Rather, all you have to do is jump on the Spirit Springs to reach the top of the tower.

How To Enter Mage Towers With A Second Floor Seal

If you find an open door at the Sorcerer’s Rise upon your arrival, it’s quite possible that there is a seal located on the upper level.

Solutions for problems encountered on the second level often require a more deliberate search, as they tend to be less apparent compared to those found on the ground floor. However, rest assured that for each and every one of these challenges, the answer is hidden within the confines of the second-floor itself.

Statue Looking at the crystals from the front door, turn your attention to the back right corner. If there is no statue there, the wall is illusory. Hit it to reveal the hidden sigil.
Unlit Candle As you enter the room, if there is a statue in the back right corner, look behind you to the left. If the candle on the wall is unlit, strike it and then destroy the sigil that forms when the candle’s wick is lit.
Second Floor Back Wall If none of the above is true, look behind you to check for a sigil that can be hit on the back wall.

Additionally, you might encounter sites referred to as “Crystal-Encrusted Towers.” These towers are similar to the regular Sorcerer’s Towers, but they are adorned with crystals. In these locations, you will find a door sealed on the second level, however, you’ll need to discover several symbols (sigils) scattered around, some of which may vary from those mentioned earlier. For instance, instead of finding the symbol for the Pond solution at the pond itself, you might encounter it on the wall of the tower above the pond.
