Appearance[]
The Tower of Despair as it appears on the in-game map.
The Tower of Despair is a large tower with a large globe-like structure on top of it. Both the tower and the globe may be crumbling apart, as bits and pieces of its walls are missing. Hexagonal patterns are present on the tower, and it is surrounded by dark clouds that swirl around it. It is also partially submerged in the stormy waters surrounding New Lumos.
Interior[]
The interior of the Tower of Despair is similar to its exterior, with hexagonal patterns lining the walls and floor and large holes in the walls. Each hexagon has a faint red glow surrounding it, and some of them have Mii eyes and mouths imprinted in them. A stormy haze is visible from outside, with red-tinted clouds surrounding the tower and rubble easily seen flying across the sky.
The Top Floor of the Tower of Despair is similar to the other floors, but the broken globe around it is slowly rotating, and the outlines of the tower alternate in varying colors by fading to black, and then glowing again. The storm clouds are also a much darker, purple hue.
Tips[]
It's highly suggested that you have a full team of Miis at level 50 with Legendary Equipment, although it is still possible on lower levels with great grub stats, relationships, and safe spot manipulation.
A Cleric is a strong recommendation (if not required) due to it having a 100% chance to revive with Giga Resurrection and can heal the entire team with Giga Panacea. They can also use Righteous Anger, which has a 50% chance of instantly killing the Red Fiend, due to said enemy not being considered a boss. Alternatively, a Traveler Cleric is also recommended if you don’t have enough time to grind a normal one.
Unlike the Tower of Dread, the Tower of Despair includes multiple battles against three or more bosses, so jobs like Cats and Mages that can hit every enemy at once can prove very useful.
Try to conserve your Sprinkles especially HP and Shield as you'll need them on the later floors of the Tower. Only use your life sprinkle if your healer is killed, or you really need to revive someone as a last resort. Safe Spot any Mii that is low on HP or MP or to hide a certain Mii from attacks, because of this it is vital that you keep the order your Mii characters and enemies act in mind. The Safe Spot will also prevent Mii's from giving their HP Bananas to the Neon Pharaohs.
To help with conserving sprinkles, an Elf is highly recommended, as they can use Forest Aegis on themselves, or their teammates to take less damage from attacks. Forest Blessing can restore MP, and Healing Melody will restore everybody’s HP much like Panacea and Giga Panacea. They can also use Dancing arrow to stun lock the Red Fiend, so you won’t have to worry about its instant kill attack as long as your elf lives.
Try bringing a Mii from the Travelers' Hub, as they follow you where ever you go until your complete their quest. While their quest is unfinished, try bringing them to the Tower Of Despair, they can help in many ways, and cannot be interacted by enemies either. This could prove useful if you don’t have a specific job on you that you’re willing to use.
Trivia[]
- In the game files there are drop rates and experience points that enemies can drop, but similar to the Tower of Dread, enemies do not drop anything on defeat so nothing is gained from beating them as the player cannot fight them outside the tower, but also like the Tower of Dread, the player can use the Cat's Steal Grub skill to obtain grub from them.
