History of Spire of the Watcher

Spire of the Watcher is a Dungeon on Mars, released December 9, 2022 in Season of the Seraph.

Overview

Seraph and Ishtar Collective facility where Sol Divisive Vex try to extract Rasputin's submind data and imprison it. Launch via the Ares Desperado quest from Ikora Rey in The Tower after the free Witch Queen intro mission "The Arrival". Variants: Standard, Master, Explorer and others.

Encounters

1. Reestablish Power. Kill Conduit Minotaurs for the Arctrician buff (30 seconds), then shoot nodes along the cables from the center hatch to the generator in order.
2. Ascend the Spire. Same node-charging idea, but nodes power elevators carrying you up the exterior.
3. Akelous, the Siren's Current. Charge four fuel rods at the boardwalk ends with Arctrician; then damage the red eyes and core. Phase transitions bring a strong knockback.
4. Persys, Primordial Ruin. Reactor room plus safe room: shoot yellow-cable nodes to start a reactor purge (damage phase) and red-cable nodes to seal Persys in.

Rewards

Exotic bow Hierarchy of Needs, plus Liminal Vigil, Long Arm, Terminus Horizon, Wilderflight and the TM Custom armor sets (Cogburn, Earp, Moss).
