In order to reach Moonrise Towers, you must travel through these cursed lands. There are different ways to enter the lands and different ways to access Moonrise Towers. Will you choose the dangerous route or the easy route? Here’s everything you need to know.
How To Get To Moonrise Towers
There are some different ways you can enter the path to the towers, but the quickest is through the Mountain Pass.
The Mountain Pass can be accessed from theGoblin Campor fromThe Risen Roadsnear the Githyanki Patrol.
This pathway will lead you to the Rosymorn Monastery, which harbors the Githyanki Creche. If you continue southwest you will find an entrance to the Shadow-Cursed Lands.
Going this way, you will eventually find a half-spider half-Drow, known as aDrider.
you’re able to convince Kar’niss the Drider to lead you to Moonrise Towers,or you can kill him. Many people keep him alive to utilize his Moon Lantern, but it is not necessary. You can use any torch or light-casting spell to survive the shadows or by killing him here, you can take his lantern.
The quickest way to reach Moonrise Towersis by finding Kar’niss and convincing him you are a True Soul.
Kar’niss will escort you directly to Moonrise Towers with his Moonlantern, effectively skipping a large chunk of the Shadow-Cursed Lands. Of course, you probably don’t want to immediately head to the towers until you have leveled up and explored all there is within Act 2.
You may also just kill him here and take his Moonlantern yourself, but this will not allow you safe and automatic travel to Moonrise Towers.
Alternatively, you canenter the Shadow-Cursed Lands through an area within Grymforge.
Grymforge is an area in The Underdark. To get there, you will need to use the boat on the shores of The Underdark - Beach. From the docks at Grymforge, you can head to the left of the initial stairs to reach metal bars that say they lead to Moonrise Towers (or rather, the Shadow-Cursed Lands).
Entering this way will bring you a closer distance to Last Light Inn, the one area safe from the curse.
This route will require you towalk to Moonrise Towersyourself instead of having an escort.
How To Survive The Shadow-Cursed Lands
You can’t waltz around Act 2 withoutprotection from the Shadow Curse. Everyone in the game will speak of a Moon Lantern leading up to your change between Acts, but you cannot actually access a Moon Lantern any time soon.
You should make sure you have Light spells on deck or a Torch when preparing to reach Moonrise Towers.
If you have not been escorted directly to the tower thanks to Kar’niss, you must head East of Last Light Inn.You should only have to face one to two fightsif you go down the safest route.
