How to unlock the Tower of Adversity in Wuthering Waves

To unlock the Tower of Adversity, you must first reach Union Rank 15 in Wuthering Waves. Once done, you will unlock the "Alone in the Abyss" quest. This will lead you to the Tower of Adversity, which is located on an island east of Jinzhou. Completing the quest isn't difficult, as you only need to talk to Sanhua for a few minutes to unlock the Tower of Adversity.

The harder part is reaching Union Rank 15 when you are new to Wuthering Waves. As a beginner, exploring the map of Solaris-3 and unlocking fast travel points will earn you enough XP to reach Level 15. If you want to reach Union Rank 15 faster, completing Wuthering Waves' quests is the best way to go. Along with XP, you will also receive plenty of Astrites, as well as weapon and character XP materials.

In the Tower of Adversity, you will find three zones: Stable Zone, Experimental Zone, and Hazard Zone. In the Stable Zone, you can enter the Resonant Tower and take part in four challenges. Each has three goals:

• Clear the challenge.
• Clear the challenge with at least 90 seconds left.
• Clear the challenge with at least 150 seconds left.

Achieving each goal will reward you with one crest. You must at least clear the challenge to move on to the next stage. After beating all four in the Stable Zone's Resonant Tower, you can access the Resonant Tower and Echoing Tower in the Experimental Zone.

After finishing the challenges in the Experimental Zone, you can click on the Hazard Zone to find the Resonant Tower, Tower of Hazard, and Echoing Tower. Unlike the challenges in the Stable and Experimental Zones, the Hazard Zone challenges reset every few weeks.
