# Endless Tower

## Endless Tower - Player Guide

### Overview

The Endless Tower is a challenging 101-floor Memorial Dungeon where you must defeat waves of monsters on each floor to progress. This custom version features **Dark MVPs** - enhanced versions of classic bosses that provide greater challenges and rewards.

### Requirements

* **Minimum Level:** 50
* **Party Size:** 1 Member
* **Entry Fee:** 50 Credits (paid once per party by the leader)
* **Cooldown:** 3 days after clearing floor 100+ or instance expire/abandon.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Restriction**: One per Gepard client to prevent abused
{% endhint %}

### How to Enter

1. Talk to **Captain Janssen** in Alberta (214, 77) and donate 10,000 Zeny to unlock the quest
2. Follow the dialogue and agree to help him
3. Go to **e\_tower** and speak with the **Tower Protection Stone** (81, 105)
4. Party leader generates the dungeon (costs 50 Credits)
5. Enter and begin your climb!

### Important Mechanics

#### Ashes of Darkness

* Obtained at floors 25, 50, and 75
* Used at the **Immortal Brazier** (floor 1) to skip ahead:
  * 1 Ash = Warp to floor 26
  * 2 Ashes = Warp to floor 51
  * 3 Ashes = Warp to floor 76

#### Floor Progression

* Each floor spawns monsters that must all be defeated
* A warp portal appears after clearing all monsters
* Taming monsters doesn't count as defeating them!
