How to reach the Spire of Clockwork
The Spire of Clockwork is found in northeast Demeniss. When you arrive, the door inside will be locked and you’ll be unable to enter without a key. To get the key, you’ll need to complete the Chapter VIII quest “A Fleeting Dream”.
If by some chance you don’t already have it, pick up the Aerial Maneuver upgrade for Axiom Force. It’ll make navigating the Spire of Clockwork a breeze.
Reach the top of the Spire
After unlocking the door, you’ll be greeted with numerous power cables, clockwork mechanisms, and gears all over the place. It looks far more complicated than it actually is.
Watch for flood lights that light up levers. One of these will be in the main room as you walk in. Run up and cling onto the lever to pull it down and start the first series of mechanisms.
Climb up the spire using Axiom Force’s Aerial Maneuver. Use it to hop onto pipes or grated platforms. On the first big gear you can stand on, there will be another lever you’ll need to pull.
When the second lever is pulled, climb to the top and look towards the spinning apparatus that leads outside. Walk out when the opening is clear to find yourself on a platform.
Go to the right to find an elevator on the west wall of the spire. Activate the top button to ascent to the top of the spire and use the Abyss Gate to enter the Abyss.
Now it’s time for the real fun to begin, starting the Abyss Puzzles. The Riddle Square will be the second in this series of puzzles, be there or be square.
