Chelona's Rise

Man is this tower a freaking nightmare...

Not once in all my 5 runs, has this stupid tower worked properly, in my last one, i cant even open it now.

The turtles not spawning, killing only 1 or 2 and it opens, and now only one spawned and the other two are nowhere to be seen and the bloody door is still there.

Do not fast travel or rest at a grace until you've finished this.

What's in there anyway, I just now realize that I've never opened it with any of my characters, even though I did get one of the turtles on my first PT, but I got too distracted with the dragon, the evergaol and ranni.

Try killing one next to tower and then check if door is open on your way back from behind it. Not open? Go kill the flying one. Look for door open message after that. At that point you can either check the third or simply warp back to start and repeat the process. If first turtle is missing always just warp back to make sure its there so you always kill this one to see if the other two are alive and prompt message. Then kill second one. The third one isn't really worth running over to considering how far away it is and frequency of it dying on its own but at the very least always check it last.

I had something interesting happen that may just be a coincidence, but it did make me wonder. I had gotten 2 of the 3 turtles for the rise and was going to the 3rd one, but I stopped at some ruins in between that had a Imp fog gate. I put the in sword keys and got a notification that a seal had opened at the same time that the fog disappeared. I found the third turtle and got him, but no notification about a seal appeared and when it I went back, it was open. I am wondering if some bug happened and it opened when I opened the stonesword imp gate at the ruins.

This one is famous for the 2nd/3rd turtles dying on their own and people spending excessive time looking for them which is odd since you would think they would see the message unless they were just oblivious but perhaps as you indicated the message does not always show properly.
