A picture of the Tower locations would probably be nice for a lot of players who r being tightwades(me being 1 of them) because of RMTs raising prices on varies items...

I also noticed that some of these Cardians were intimidated by a Dark Knight's presence. Holy-type mobs?

Being from Windie of done alot of spelunking around the towers just as a curiosity. Since there are six towers Ill list them as Upper, Middle and Lower, since well thats the order :3

In the East Saru area Upper Tower, there are three NM spawns, Doppelganger Dio, Gog, and the Bomb King. There is also a Magical Gismo door located behind a false wall.

The Middle Tower is used in Windurst Mission 1-1. Behind a cracked wall you can go lower into tunnels and find the Mahagony door. Further down it leads to three mage gate, which is connected to Rank Three Missions and above. If you keep going straight you'll end up exiting the Middle Tower in the West Saru area. Also treasure chest spawn in the tunnels below the tower. I got a key from killing the weaker slimes once.

The Lower Tower is a square and is used for Windurst Mission 1-2.


In the West Saru area, the Northern tower opens up to a large room with lots of low level gobs and bats. To the left of the tower entrance, along the wall there is a cracked wall that leads further down. This tower area is pretty straight forward and youll end up running into a large cavern room with lots of Ghouls and Black Jellies. If you walk against the back wall youll find that part of it is fake and is actually another tunnel. Down this tunnel there is a cerment door and large machine which asks for a Password, an Infinity core, and an Elemental chip. Upon asking some higher level associates (whether true or not) I was told it was used to make random items.

The Middle tower is the exit from the other system.

The Lower tower is full of varying level cardians. They range from Two of, all the way to Ten of, as well as some higher level Weapon class monsters further in the back behind a few cracked walls. Further back is a Magical Gismo door used in another of the higher rank missions.

Hope this helps anyone running around these areas.

went into the north most tower in the east, thought oh cool free xp (lvl 13 rdm) kill all the cards, last room I check I see this guy standing their. Realize it's not friendly but by this time 120hp gone, door shuts instantly I open it take 2 steps out and fall on the ground. Just my luck it was dio standing their. was considering taking my lvl18 monk back their and get some revenge but after seeing these posts and his lvl I don't think I will waste the xp.

Where is the NM tower...??? anyone know?

Whats the use of cards?

Me-dude WAR/WHM sux.
n00b-watch i can solo a Orcish Grunt.
n00b was defeated by the Orcish Grunt.
Me-why did you heal it?
n00b-i was hurting it (sorry if this pt was different then my other posts,bad memory ^^)

The cave that can be seen in West Sarutabaruta near the far western tower... I've heard rumors that it's an exit from Horotoro somewhere. Is this true? Where does it lead from? My exploratory curiousity is currently obsessed with the goal of standing in that cave opening for a triumphant photo.

I've gone deep into that western tower (lvl 41) and end up getting jumped by the Tens (cardians) every time before I can go invisible, so I dunno what that last magic door leads to.

I have a question for all you Windurstians. I recently ran through East Saruta and noticed that no one goes to the little tower way in the north, so I went there myself. Only level 2 and 3 cardians as far as I saw, and one balloon. This one is the Lilac Tower, it is just a hallway, with four sets of two parallel stone doors on the east side and 3 sets on the left side with a cracked wall, which went to a magical gizmo gate that I can probably only open if I'm from Windy :/

I asked a rank 6 Windurstian and he said it was involved in no missions, but that an NM spawns inside one of the rooms randomly. There were two other people there at the time, but they didn't speak english. They did however keep running back and forth, opening the doors and looking inside, fighting a mob if there was one. I began to think maybe only one mob spawns in any one of the rooms at a time? But they were also only lvl 3 cardians and the one balloon. The two others were only lvl 30 WAR and lvl 24 WAR, both rank 3, so I still don't know what's there :( What is it that lies beyond the Gizmo gates and in those stone rooms?

I assume that these are somehow used to open the "Magical Door"...but, can someone tell me exactly how this works? I tried hitting them all and trading different stuff to them...but no luck? BTW WHY IS WINDY SO FREAKING COMPLICATED?
Hehe...go Sandy

Can anyone supply directions to the higher level Cardians, i.e. Sevens and up? Not sure which Horutoto tower to look in.

Thanks!

They're not Canadians, they're Cardians!
There are rare items that are in the game, Cardian Cards. I think you can control cardians who correspond to the card...
SO, for Horutoto, I'm gonna get me a "4 of Sword" Card and beat some goblin butt ^-^

What drops the chest key in there?

hey guys, where do i buy the map for t his plaace if the map exist?

Does anyone know what the Gizmos do? Do they need to be hit in sequence?

i cant further in the ruins from the first level in the outer haruto ruins i found the crack in the wall but said the door wont move what should i do

Errrr... you shouldnt be trying to level in the ruins...

Level from 1-5 in Saruta, 5-8 in the northern regions of Both East and west saruta, 8-10 in Tahrongi Canyon, 10-15 in Shakrimi Maze in a party, Slowly making ur way out through Buburimu and take a boat to Selbina, 15-18 in Valkrum dunes, 18-24 in Quifim (Jueno).

And so on.

So to get into the inner all I have to do is go to one of those trees right?

Then when I'm side I look for a crack?

If uyou a re a Windurstian doing the first mission you should not be seeing beetles at all. If you are seeing beetles you are going the wrong way for the first mission. The most you should see are goblins and bats. The beetles are behind a cracked wall you should not be goin anywhere near there is another cracked wall you should enter. so follow sum1 who knows the rite way on mission 1 n youll be fine.

THey don't hunt down there because it gets hard too fast. You can only go 5 steps before it goes from "easy prey" to "tough". So you have to spend hours in one spot (20 foot radius) before you can move in 5 more steps. This is bad design.

How come everyone seems to go hunting in tahrongi canyon instead of these horohuto dungeons?? It appears there are lots of high level mobs we can fight in here?
I only went in there a few times to do the first two missions.
I have been to the two tower entrances in east sarutabaruta. I guess there's a 3rd entrance in west sarutabaruta?
