It's All Upstairs From Here	comment	A trope found in most fantasy setting Role Playing Games. No matter what all you will have to accomplish between the beginning and the end—whatever continents you must cross, whatever oceans you must ford, whatever planets you must visit—you will always have to climb a Tower. True, towers make for great defenses in times of war. However, one can easily see that the reason it exists is solely to make the player traverse not only far, but up in order to accomplish the goal. More often than not, the tower will either be three-quarters of the way through the game or will consist of The Very Definitely Final Dungeon itself. If the tower is not the final dungeon, then you can guarantee that when you finally do reach the top and fight the boss you're in for some pretty dialogue-heavy plot sections usually involving some kind of twist that changes the direction of the protagonist's mission. This trope is not just limited solely to Role Playing Games; very often games will utilize this type of level design as a way to show off their environments, particularly open-world games where it is one of the few times you can see said world from such altitudes. Games with climbing mechanics will typically have you spiraling around the outside of the tower. See also Climbing Climax, Ending by Ascending. Clock Tower is a closely related trope, especially in a Bell Tower or Cathedral. Oddly, you rarely see residents having to climb a Mage Tower, perhaps because it would highlight how impractical it is for old men. In case the tower or building is high enough to take the characters to the high skies (thus being a literal skyscrapper), they'll transition into Journey to the Sky.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_10ddd3d5	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The Temple of Time is an interesting case, as Link has to reach the top, fight his first Darknut, get the Dominion Rod from him, and then go back to the first floor while escorting a big statue. The path to the throne of Hyrule Castle where Ganondorf awaits is a badly damaged staircase with many pits, requiring Link to use the Spinner and the Double Clawshots to traverse it. He also has to defeat powerful enemies like armored Lizalfos and a Darknut in the process.

The West Wing only has you visit one floor at a time, but since you're going to be going back and forth from it a lot, climbing up and down all those stairs can be tedious. Subverted with the Main Castle, since you're only required to climb about halfway up it.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_13998e73	comment	MapleStory has two in Ludibrium, both 100 floors and if you're not smart, no way to get back up once you've gone down. This only applies to Eos (western) Tower, which has about 60-odd floors since you climb down the outside in several sections. The eastern tower (Helios Tower) has about five floors and a lift for the resulting 95, presumably because they couldn't be bothered to make another 70 maps. There's also the 30-floored Orbis tower, which takes you from a flying fairy kingdom, through a frozen village and ends underwater.

As you clear each stage, another floor of the tower is revealed; in two of the levels, there's a sequence where you must run up a revolving staircase on the outside of the tower while enemies pursue you. At the tower's top, you fight the area bosses, Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright, who look like the sun and a crescent moon respectively. There's also a level in Rainbow Resort where you must get to the top of a tower; you must fight a miniboss in each floor, with a hidden level which is similar but the minibosses are different. This type of level is referenced in other Kirby games such as Kirby's Return to Dream Land where the final stage of Nutty Noon does the same thing.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_2ce70ac5	comment	The Kung Fu Panda films makes it a Running Gag of Po being too overweight to climb the stairs without getting winded: The first film has Po constantly failing to climb all the steps to the Jade Palace without becoming on the verge of collapse. Even after all his training, the only improvement he gets in stair climbing is that he gets less winded, and is at least able to stand up after getting to the top. In Kung Fu Panda 2, he regards the stairs to Lord Shen's throne room as "my old enemy". In this case, he has to get carried half of the way up. Kung Fu Panda 3 has this as a Logo Joke, with a long set of stairs leading to the DreamWorks moon. Po climbs these with increasing exhaustion before finally being able to rest on the moon. In the film proper, Po is elated that the high entrance to the Secret Panda Village doesn't require taking stairs, using a makeshift pulley elevator instead.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_2cfdf18e	comment	SaGa (RPG): The first two games in the series both revolve around climbing up worlds-spanning towers. In The Final Fantasy Legend, whatever the protagonists' initial motivation for scaling the tower was, the ultimate purpose ends up being to punch the local deity in the face when you get there. Take that, Almighty! In Final Fantasy Legend II, after reaching the top of the tower, you must descend inside of it for the final battle. Final Fantasy Legend III has two tower dungeons, but without a God to punch at the top. Though if you replace Master with Old Ones, you'll feel better and understand the game a whole lot more.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_2d644371	comment	The Tales Series: Tales of Phantasia had two towers: the Tower of Luna, where you get... er, Luna, and the Odin Fire Tower, where you get Lloyd's old Flamberge and the Explode spell. Tales of Destiny incorporated a remake of The Tower of Druaga as its Bonus Dungeon. Tales of Eternia had the optional Glimmering Spire, a tower of puzzles on each floor. At the top awaited the boss battle with Valkyrie and a ton of chests. Tales of Symphonia: The Tower of Mana, which you have to climb twice. The second time includes a bit of No Fourth Wall Lampshade Hanging on the tediousness of this sort of thing... the characters mention how annoying it is that they have to go through the area again, and Lloyd asks why there couldn't be a "quick jump" option, confusing Regal. note Quick jump is an option given to you at other points in the game which allows you to skip through long dungeons you've been through before if you need to get to the other side for a plot event. The lack of one in this case is done deliberately, as there is a Point of No Return after you go through it the second time. Subverted with the actual villain Evil Tower of Ominousness, which is not climbable — it only has one real floor of interest, which you access by teleporter. But you do have to descend it at one point (no, twice actually — the basement portion soon after the first descent). The OVA version of it has a giant spiral staircase leading to the room with the teleporter. The final stage in Tales of Innocence is the Tower of Dawn. It happens to be divided into three parts, with three boss rooms at the end of each segment and a save point just before each boss. Tales of Vesperia ends the first third of the game with the "Tower of Gears, Ghasfarost." There is also the Evil Tower of Ominousness via Tarqaron. The Inevitable Tournament in Tales of Hearts mostly takes place in a huge tower called the "Tower of Heroes, King's Cross". Tales of the Abyss has the Tower of Rem.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_2f203125	comment	Shin Megami Tensei: Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne has a few, including one incredibly tall tower you have to clear once, which is then crushed by an even bigger tower. Thankfully, it skips a lot of floors going up, so although the game says you're on floor 600, you didn't literally trek up that many floors in gameplay. Persona 3, a spin-off of the above series, had the 260+ floor Tartarus, which exemplifies this trope. Tartarus wasn't just the final dungeon, it was the only dungeon. The game divides into about 45% climbing Tartarus, 45% Social Links, 10% Full Moon Operations. Inverted in Persona 5, which features Mementos, a huge, multi-level dungeon, where instead of starting at the bottom and climbing to the top, you start at the top and progress further downward. New sections unlock as you progress through the game, with the very bottom serving as the final dungeon. Persona 5 Royal: The Very Definite Final Dungeon (Dr. Maruki's Palace) takes the form of a massive glass-and-golden tower. The final boss is met at the highest point of the structure. This is a big part of Catherine. Vincent's Nightmare Sequences involve him attempting to climb a series of hazardous towers to escape to "freedom". Falling or dying by any other means will kill him in the real world. The story making it a spin-off of Persona, doesn't make it much of a surprise. Digital Devil Saga includes a massive tower in each game, one of which is located on or in the sun. Shin Megami Tensei I is stuffed to the gills with them, but the most notable is the final dungeon, a gigantic, multi-storied cathedral built to summon God into it. This is subverted however if you choose to take the Law path. You go down through the underground part of the cathedral instead. On Neutral, you go both down and up, in either order. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey includes a tower at the very center of Sector Eridanus, atop which the dimensional distortion between Earth and the Schwarzwelt is found. Much less ominous but a lot more terrifying is Mithra's Palace of Pleasure in Sector Bootes, a nightmarish construction where Mithra and his demonic cronies imprison and experiment upon the human crew of the Elve and even fellow demons.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_36395288	comment	The Kirby series is a big fan of this trope, usually either for The Very Definitely Final Dungeon or the Disc-One Final Dungeon. The third area in Kirby's Adventure, the Butter Building, uses a tower as a Hub Level. As you clear each stage, another floor of the tower is revealed; in two of the levels, there's a sequence where you must run up a revolving staircase on the outside of the tower while enemies pursue you. At the tower's top, you fight the area bosses, Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright, who look like the sun and a crescent moon respectively. There's also a level in Rainbow Resort where you must get to the top of a tower; you must fight a miniboss in each floor, with a hidden level which is similar but the minibosses are different. This type of level is referenced in other Kirby games such as Kirby's Return to Dream Land where the final stage of Nutty Noon does the same thing. The Great Cave Offensive has the Old Tower area, which usually (but not always) required Kirby to go up. It's also skippable. Stage 7 of Dark Castle in Kirby's Dream Land 2 require Kirby to go up a tower, with the boss fight with Dedede afterwards taking place at the top. The Rainbow Drop for Dark Castle also requires Kirby to enter specific doors based on a sign hidden in the castle (requiring Kine's spark ability). Notably, it's the only stage in Dark Castle that doesn't have a harder counterpart. Iceberg in Kirby's Dream Land 3 takes inspiration from the Rainbow Resort example above with a mini-boss rush and has puzzles to solve to clear the objective (retrieving an angel's wings). The fourth stage of Ripple Star in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards repeats the Dream Land 3 example with Ripple Star's Castle.

Blaster's appearances and use of the attack have been nerfed in ports, but it still appears enough and Nido is still challenging enough to make beating it an achievement on the Xbox.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: Karazhan is the haunted Tower of one of the settings most powerful mages. While the lower parts are more elaborate and include a cellar and stables, the progression boils down to getting to the top of the tower. The raid dungeon Icecrown Citadel is also just a three-tiered tower, and in most wings, you have to go upstairs to fight the final boss of each wing. The Big Bad is at the peak. The second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, also has Icecrown Citadel as a raid. The second half of the raid consists of climbing the citadel's central tower, fighting bosses on each floor. It is somewhat subverted though as the bosses are actually located in rooms off of the main floor, except for Lord Marrowgar and the Lich King himself. The most recent expansion has Torghast, Tower of the Damned. It is, more or less, this trope played completely straight. Lorewise, the tower is the fortress of the Jailor and it contains thousands of imprisoned and tortured souls as well as uber-powerful guardian creatures. However, it's more interesting than your standard dungeon-crawl tower. It functions as a rogue-lite minigame; with the player able to choose different power-ups as they climb. There are also side objectives given by NPCs you can find in the tower, like rescuing certain souls or finding particular objects. Finally, you can also find recipes and ingredients for crafting legendary items inside Torghast and the forge where the legendary items are created is on the bottom level.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_4be1bdd0	comment	The Golden Sun series is based around the lighting (or stopping the lighting) of magical beacons on four lighthouses, making for at least two by-the-book uses of this trope in each game, though there's usually even more. A few of the optional dungeons, in a reversal of form but a similar usage, have you traveling downstairs through suspiciously inverted-tower-like underground cave systems. There's also Mount Aleph, the enormous tree in Kolima, Babi's Lighthouse, The Temple of the Sea God, Tundaria Tower, and Ankohl. You could argue that the Great Gabomba is one, too, since you do have to do a bit of climbing. There are also some actual mountain climbing sections.

Somewhat unusual as you have to climb the mountain near the beginning of the game to get your powers as The Chosen One. You'll have to return to the peak later in the story, but that time you can simply skip most of the ascend by fast traveling to the monastery just below the top.

The ladder is so long, in fact, that there's enough time to play a sizable chunk of the game's theme song. However, the bottom of the ladder is in a jungle, while the top is on a mountain. The almost unbearably long Comms Tower stairs, on which Snake must fight a running gun battle against an infinite supply of Mooks, in the first Metal Gear Solid (and in the MSX game Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, for that matter.)

The latter two make a return in A Link Between Worlds. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Eagle's Tower, which first has to be cut in height before Link can reach the top. You get to collapse a floor of it by hurling a large iron ball at four load-bearing pillars. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has Ganon's Tower as the final dungeon, which you have to climb to get to the final boss. Also puts an interesting twist in that, once you beat Ganondorf, you have to climb back DOWN while the thing crumbles. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has Clock Tower, which, although small, is a tower at the center of the town at the center of Termina, and is also the entrance to the final area of the game. Also, the Snowpeak Temple is like a tower, the puzzle being how to activate certain things in order to progress. There's also the last dungeon of the game which is not a tower, but is at the top of one: Stone Tower. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games: The Black Tower of Oracle of Ages as The Very Definitely Final Dungeon. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: A benign example with the last floor of Tower of the Gods. The stairs lead to a boss battle, but Gohdan is a force of good who aims to challenge Link so the latter can prove his worth. A not-so-benign example occurs near the end in Ganon's Tower, where Link walks the long staircase leading to Ganondorf, who's keeping Zelda captive. The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures: The Tower of Winds features an ice-themed, side-scrolling tower climb, with frequent forays into the GameBoy Advance to solve a puzzle or bypass a wall in the main portion. And then you get to hurriedly climb down it after defeating Vaati makes it start to collapse, even though he only had power over the PALACE of Winds, not the Tower. Even Ganon's presence doesn't explain why the Tower was coming apart. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap has the highest climb to date: from Hyrule's humble surface, to high above even the high-flying Palace Of Winds for the battle with the Gyorg Pair. One has to wonder if said battle took place near the mesopause. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The Temple of Time is an interesting case, as Link has to reach the top, fight his first Darknut, get the Dominion Rod from him, and then go back to the first floor while escorting a big statue. The path to the throne of Hyrule Castle where Ganondorf awaits is a badly damaged staircase with many pits, requiring Link to use the Spinner and the Double Clawshots to traverse it. He also has to defeat powerful enemies like armored Lizalfos and a Darknut in the process. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: Inverted with the Temple of the Ocean King, in which Link climbs downward in-between the game's other dungeons, using equipment he finds inside of, and/or en route to, these other dungeons to bypass previously insurmountable obstacles, up to and including asking a fairy spirit he'd just freed to open the way forward. The final dive is part of the endgame, as reaching the temple's lowest depths triggers the final battle. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: The 30-story Tower of Spirits has to be reassembled piece by piece by completing the game's other dungeons, and then each relocated part has to be navigated upon upward. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Hyrule Castle once again in the game, though in a twist the Final Boss is NOT in the absolute highest room; there are a few areas above it with optional collectibles.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_755e2357	comment	In Noob the Fictional Video Game in which the story is set has the ten-story high Galamadriabuyak tower as a central gameplay element. Avatars start with a Cap at 10 and need to complete the first floor to raise the cap to 20, the second floor to raise the cap to 30 and so on until the cap reached 100. The tenth floor houses the game's Final Boss (that later gets demoted to Disk-One Final Boss), and beating it is necessary for those who want to unlock the game's equivalent to a Prestige Class.

The second time includes a bit of No Fourth Wall Lampshade Hanging on the tediousness of this sort of thing... the characters mention how annoying it is that they have to go through the area again, and Lloyd asks why there couldn't be a "quick jump" option, confusing Regal. note Quick jump is an option given to you at other points in the game which allows you to skip through long dungeons you've been through before if you need to get to the other side for a plot event. The lack of one in this case is done deliberately, as there is a Point of No Return after you go through it the second time. Subverted with the actual villain Evil Tower of Ominousness, which is not climbable — it only has one real floor of interest, which you access by teleporter. But you do have to descend it at one point (no, twice actually — the basement portion soon after the first descent). The OVA version of it has a giant spiral staircase leading to the room with the teleporter.

It's helped that the Orcs and Uruks were infighting and thus took most of each other out. In a non-battle example, the Stairs of Cirith Ungol leading up to Shelob's lair are a set of near-vertical stairs climbing up a sheer cliff right next to Minas Morgul, the lair of the Witch King. No battles ensue here but the sheer terror and difficulty in climbing it more than justifies it!

Or doing a tool-assisted speedrun. The Towers and Mid-Castles/Fortresses in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, respectively. Mario Party 8: The minigame Rotation Station takes place inside a tall, ominous tower where two dueling characters have to jump across platforms (some of which are moving) to see who reaches the top first. Whoever does so first wins, but the minigame ends in a tie if neither character makes it to the top in five minutes. Mario Party: Island Tour: In Bowser's Tower, as the player's chosen character and their companion Green Toad defeat the bubble clones created by Bowser in his evil tower, they run upstairs in a spiral pattern to move bwteen floors and reach the top. However, because of how tall the tower is, this will require clearing multiple floors.

Phantasy Star II has just one tower, Nido (aka Tower of Nido), but in this case one is more than enough. Nido is the only dungeon in the game to contain the infamous enemy Blaster, a biomonster with an attack capable of wiping out the entire party in a single shot. Blaster's appearances and use of the attack have been nerfed in ports, but it still appears enough and Nido is still challenging enough to make beating it an achievement on the Xbox. Phantasy Star III, like its predecessors before it, has exactly one tower: the Control Tower of Aridia, where the first generation goes to meet Lyle and fix the Weather and Satellite control systems. Unlike Nido from PSII, it's far from a difficult dungeon, and in fact is pretty forgettable seeing as how it's visually no different than any other dungeon thanks to the game's liberal use of Cut and Paste Environments. Phantasy Star IV has towers galore, including Ladea Tower, Garuberk Tower, Strength Tower, Courage Tower, Anger Tower, and even an enemy called "Tower"! Of these towers, Ladea and Garuberk are the most important from a story perspective, while the three later towers are end-of-game Secret Test of Character sites (two are mandatory, one is optional). The enemy Tower, amusingly enough, is not actually encountered in a tower (it's a robot sentry on the space satellite Kuran).

In The Final Fantasy Legend, whatever the protagonists' initial motivation for scaling the tower was, the ultimate purpose ends up being to punch the local deity in the face when you get there. Take that, Almighty! In Final Fantasy Legend II, after reaching the top of the tower, you must descend inside of it for the final battle.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls Morrowind offers a Subversion in the form of Telvanni Towers. Telvanni Towers are massive mushroom towers grown using magic, and serve as Mage Towers for high-ranking Great House Telvanni mage-lords. The Towers are both tall and expansive, yet stairs are rare within. Instead, you need to use Levitation magic within in order to go between floors. Given that Telvanni councilors tend toward being ancient, somewhat insane, amoral wizards who believe Might Makes Right and actively practice Klingon Promotion, it can be inferred that anyone who can't cast such a simple spell simply isn't worth their time. Oblivion: The Sigil Stone needed to close an Oblivion Gate is always at the top of a tower located inside the gate in question. The White-Gold Tower, which serves as the Imperial Palace, is a giant spire-like tower at the center of the Imperial City. However, it cannot actually be climbed. If you use cheats or glitches to get to the top, you'll find that the roof isn't even solid. In Skyrim, you have to ascend the Seven Thousand Steps, the path circling around the Throat of the World, tallest mountain in all of Tamriel, that can be seen in the distance from almost any point in Skyrim. Somewhat unusual as you have to climb the mountain near the beginning of the game to get your powers as The Chosen One. You'll have to return to the peak later in the story, but that time you can simply skip most of the ascend by fast traveling to the monastery just below the top. The series' spin-off Dungeon Crawler game, An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire, takes place within the titular Imperial Battlespire. It is a giant tower-like structure that serves as a training ground for the Imperial Battlemages. It exists in the "Slipstream", an area of time/space that separates Mundus (the mortal plane) from Oblivion (the "infinite void" surrounding Mundus). It has been taken over by the forces of Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction, who hope to use it as a waystation for their invasion of Mundus.

The Kanto series games has two that can (and must) be climbed, both of which were taken over by Team Rocket. The first of which is the PokÃ©mon Tower in Lavender Town, where you need to calm the ghost of the mother Marowak and obtain the PokÃ©Flute from Mr. Fuji. The second is the Silph Co. Building in Saffron City, where Giovanni planned to get his hands on the Master Ball to catch Mewtwo, and defeating him clears out the Team Rocket grunts in the city. Johto games have Olivine's lighthouse, Goldenrod's radio tower, the Tin/Bell Tower in Ecruteak City (atop of which is Ho-oh), and a tower in Violet City that was supposedly a giant Bellsprout at one point. The Sky Pillar, in the middle of Hoenn's ocean. There's Rayquaza in the summit. The final main storyline dungeon of each Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game is a tower that must be ascended. In the first set of games it's the Sky Tower (atop of which is Rayquaza), and in the second set of games it's Temporal Tower with Dialga as the boss. PokÃ©mon Ranger: Shadows of Almia has the last mission in a tower. PokÃ©mon Black and White: Celestial Tower and Dragonspiral Tower. Team Plasma's Castle at the end of the game. You actually start off more or less on one of the middle floors and make your way up to the top floor.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_a81325d3	comment	The Final Fantasy series is littered with examples of this. Final Fantasy has you climbing the Tower of Illusion to obtain the fourth crystal. Final Fantasy II has the fake final dungeon, Castle Palamecia, which you actually fall several stories down to just so you can climb up it. The Mysidian Tower and Castle Pandaemonium each have ten floors, with the latter also coming after the five-floor descent down Jade Passage. The Unknown Palace in the Soul of Rebirth story also has ten floors, being a mirrored version of Pandaemonium. Final Fantasy III has the Tower of Owen and the Crystal Tower. Final Fantasy IV has at least two towers that serve as dungeons: The Tower of Bab-il and the Tower of Zot, where Golbez runs his operations. You also have to enter the Tower of Bab-il no less than three times and traverse different floors each time. Final Fantasy V has the Barrier Tower, the Phoenix Tower (30 stories tall), the Fork Tower (in which you have to divide your party in order to knock down both sides at the same time), and Walse Tower (home to the water crystal). Final Fantasy VI has the Tower of Fanatics. Kefka's tower is an inversion for the most part, as you're descending into the depths to fight Kefka (except for a few bits) and then climbing back up to escape it. Final Fantasy VII has Shinra Headquarters. While it is not a literal tower in the castle sense, the skyscraper feel to it certainly would classify it as a tower. Especially if you have to take the stairs... A more classical example would be the Pagoda in Wutai, which, while only five levels tall, is 100% tower and has a guardian on each floor. At least one Second Life FFVII RP sim's players have taken to calling it "ShinRa Tower" and during the Junon sim's existence, put a fanmade one inside the support structure for the canon. Final Fantasy VIII has the optional Centra Ruins, the Dollet Radio Tower, the Desert Prison at the beginning of disc 2, and Lunatic Pandora. Final Fantasy IX has Memoria. However, the fact that the laws of physics aren't strictly followed here makes it more difficult to say "upstairs". Final Fantasy X-2 has the Via Infinito, which goes down. Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission consists entirely of climbing the 80-floor Iutycyr Tower. Final Fantasy XI: Delkfutt's Tower, the top of which plays an important part in the Rise of the Zilart expansion, and offers a few special fights... for anyone who had the time and money to go to the Fan Festivals. The Nyzul Isle remnants. It is 100 floors and was originally planned to go further up and descend. However, it is not clear what exactly is going on since the layout of the non-boss floors are random and all of the Alzadaal Ruins is Alexander's body. Final Fantasy XII had the 100-story Pharos in the Ridorana Cataract region. You skip maybe 27 stories by teleporting, but the rest have to be climbed, and the number of the story you're in shows on the Heads-Up Display; however, most of those stories are better defined as "landings between sets of stairs", so it's not quite as exhausting as the number makes it seem. The Pharos also has the Subterra section, with three basement floors solely for Optional Boss sidequests. Final Fantasy XIII has Taejin's Tower, which has individual floors connected by stairs, though you need to use the elevator to get between sections. The sections themselves all need to be rotated into place so that the elevator can reach the top. The tower was once much taller, but has long since collapsed, leaving only the first seven floors that form the playable area. Another elevator that once would have gone further up the tower now rolls up to the outskirts of Oerba instead. Final Fantasy XIV has the Syrcus Tower raid, an homage to FFIII's Crystal Tower. Final Fantasy XV has several inversions, as the mandatory Steyliff Grove, optional Costlemark Tower, and several post-game Bonus Dungeons are all downstairs from the entrance. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest had Focus Tower, which was literally (and outright stated to be) the center of the world. It is the final dungeon, although the player gets to pass through parts of it at several earlier points in the game. In fact, at one point you get a glimpse of said final dungeon while retrieving a hidden item. The Final Fantasy Legend is all about this, literally. Many adventurers have tried climbing the tower, and your party is only the latest in a long line. Each "world" involves a long quest to get the key to unlock the next floors of the tower, which lead to the next world. Once all the keys have been obtained, you have to climb ludicriously high up the tower (fighting powerful monsters all the way) before finally facing off against the final boss.

The entrance is a good 300m above the lava lake it sits in, you navigate eight or so floors of "regular" size, then get a 10-second ride on a lift that is so fast its engine sound is subject to the Doppler effect, then there are two more floors before you reach the tippy top. You get a good sense of scale when you get there, when you look down and the bridge to enter the building and can measure it in milimeters on the screen. Unusually for the trope, it's an area visited around mid-game, nowhere near the ending - and its purpose is to get you even higher up via the Space Elevator that you can call at the top.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_b5a2b326	comment	Morrowind offers a Subversion in the form of Telvanni Towers. Telvanni Towers are massive mushroom towers grown using magic, and serve as Mage Towers for high-ranking Great House Telvanni mage-lords. The Towers are both tall and expansive, yet stairs are rare within. Instead, you need to use Levitation magic within in order to go between floors. Given that Telvanni councilors tend toward being ancient, somewhat insane, amoral wizards who believe Might Makes Right and actively practice Klingon Promotion, it can be inferred that anyone who can't cast such a simple spell simply isn't worth their time.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time features this as its final (chronologically-speaking) level, climbing up an enormous tower with a sandstorm raging around it. The last couple of levels in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones are about climbing up the central tower of Babylon to reach the Vizier. The boss level in Prince of Persia (2008) for both The Alchemist and The Concubine has the Prince and Elika ascending towers to get to their enemies.

In Lufia 2, half the dungeon crawls actually take place in towers, and this includes just about all the ones that are actually plot-relevant instead of hunts to fix a Broken Bridge (Which tended toward caves instead). There's nearly as many random towers littering the landscape as there are villages. Specifically, Lufia & The Fortress of Doom has eleven towers total, three of which you have to go through twice, while its sequel Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals has at least ten, three of which must be completed in a row.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_deaae920	comment	Dungeon Crawl: The primary branches are 27+5 levels, which you then climb back up once you have what you came for. Starting from 0.5, Stone Soup also has Ziggurats. Pay to enter, 27 levels, traversed from top to bottom. You can leave them any time you make it to the exit of a level, but going back a level - or reentering a Ziggurat you've exited - is impossible. Each individual level is a small room, filled with a bunch of monsters that guard a pile of treasure and the exit. Room sizes, numbers of monsters per level, average monster nastiness and amount of loot per level go up as you delve deeper into the Ziggurat. Monster generation follows themes; each time you enter a new level the game randomly selects a theme, which determines what monsters get generated. Some themes are notably much more nasty than others, leading to a large variance in difficulty. On average Ziggurats are probably the most dangerous crawl branch, beating out such nice places as the Hells (finite demon-filled wastes) and Pandemonium (infinite demon-filled wastes). They are an effective source of both loot and experience - but in general, if you can reliably survive them, you don't really need any more of either.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_df76da7e	comment	Mirror's Edge: The game has many towers: given the fact that there's a lot of Le Parkour going on, you have to be on top of very tall buildings in order for failure to have the appropriate road pizza end. There's an inversion and a subversion, however: in the second last chapter, you're trying to run down a spiral staircase to get to the street as quickly as possible, and the last chapter requires you to get to the top of the highest building in the city...but there's elevators! Yay! Mirror's Edge Catalyst continues having two of these; the first is climbing an in-construction tower about halfway into the game. The second mirrors the original game where you have to climb up The Shard as part of the final level.

It's All Upstairs From Here / int_e22c949c	comment	The Dragon Quest series love having tower dungeons. They can be a pain when these dungeons are long. Your healing items and magic depletes and it's a long way back to the inn. Dragon Quest II has the Tower of Wind, the Tower of the Moon, and the Lighthouse. One of the first dungeons in Dragon Quest III is a tower where the Thief's key is found. A few more towers are found in the Main world and the Rubiss Tower in the Dark world. Dragon Quest IV has a tower leading to the floating castle of Zenithia. (The fifth game still has the tower but the castle fell into the lake.) Dragon Quest V has Knightmare Towers located north of Gotha.

It's a long way up, involving several magic-powered lifts. The Very Definitely Final Dungeon, "End of the World", inverts this trope. You spend the entirety of that world descending downward, with the scenery getting more and more twisted as you approach the core of the darkness where Ansem awaits. All of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is spent going up a castle. In the PS2 remake, the floors are actually used to subdivide the cutscene in the Theater Mode. And there are thirteen floors. Get it? Organization XIII, thirteen floors? Yeah. Although you just face 6 of them anyway. Kingdom Hearts II has the Organization's fortress, The Castle That Never Was.◊ Yes, you climb to the top of that.
