Spire of the Stars

Prerequisites

Walkthrough

1. 1Speak with Grundir in the plaza to receive the Spire Key after Tenebrum's defeat
2. 2Head northeast from the main institute building, past the banquet hall toward the marked path
3. 3Follow the staircase leading upward along the mountainside — the route is straightforward
4. 4Continue ascending more stairs and pass through a cave system (the path becomes increasingly snowy)
5. 5Reach the large stone door and insert the Spire Key to open it and enter the tower
6. 6Locate and hit the 3 yellow panels on the room's walls with Force Palm to collect Engraved Stones
7. 7Collect all 3 Engraved Stones from the revealed alcoves
8. 8Insert the 3 stones into the 3 wall sockets on the room's sides
9. 9Align the 4 symbols to their correct positions: 1st to top, 2nd to 2nd slot, 3rd to bottom, 4th to
10. 103rd slot
11. 11Wait for the symbols to stop glowing before proceeding
12. 12The elevator will automatically activate and begin ascending
13. 13Ride the elevator to the top floor (it auto-descends after a few seconds, so exit when reaching the
14. 14Top)
15. 15Run up the final stairs at the top floor
16. 16Interact with the glowing Abyss Gate at the summit
17. 17Step through the portal — a cutscene triggers as Kliff enters, completing the quest

Tips

• Cold debuff on the mountain slows stamina regen — cook Modest Clear Soup before heading up
• Equip ice resistance gear to mitigate the cold effect
• Symbol puzzle solution order: position 1st symbol at top, 2nd at 2nd slot, 3rd at bottom, 4th at 3rd slot
• The elevator auto-descends after reaching the top — DO NOT stay on it or you'll ride back down
• Exit elevator immediately upon reaching the top floor to avoid the descent
• The Abyss Gate is the final step — stepping through triggers the ending cutscene

NPCs Involved

• Dean Grundir
