The Tower

[Toha Heavy Industries]

I literally can't find any information about this anywhere except an update.

I wanted to know what options people chose once they got to the top. I decided to become a cyborg? I'm very confused about the benefits.

same.

*** SPOILERS****




I became a cyborg, used the thusly acquired new gun to annihilate the bosses, went back, had the gun removed and then killed the cyborg creator. Then I used the thusly gathered key to get to the next room, chose "release cyborgs" and could so finish the quest "A woman in the tower", though the conversation choices needed some tries to get to the desired result.
Both the Deconstructor and Glutt are very easy when you have the cyborg gun and play the game more like "Crusader, no remorse" and less like "Diablo X" as in circle-strafing around the bosses with the keyboard and aim at- and pound them with the mouse.

I approached The Tower with feeling very weirded out with that guy's speech. It only got worse as I climbed further and further up The Tower. Once I got to the top I pickpocket the key from the right guy. Then I reached the head in the jar and proceeded to murder every living thing in the Tower. I don't know if there will be any future repercussions but I figure that it was a mercy killing as no one needed to know what was going on and no one needed to turn into cyborgs. Since then I am dedicating this file to essentially murder those who worship machines or flesh.

I have no idea what becoming a cyborg does.
The cyborg gun was just a lower damage version of the buzzer.

I just killed everything, including the head, realised this meant I could probably kill other things and then proceeded to wipe out every titan, settlement, and well basically everything that I was allowed to kill, including the flesh krakken and all the delphi worshipers. didn't seem to effect anything and the game still ended at the mountain pass gate
Still did not figure out what the cyborg thingo did. Did however find some quest items that didn't seem to have any function yet though. Did you know that you can kill the queen, sleeper, oracle etc...? I have no idea what doing all this did.

What happen if you choose became a cyborg?

You gain a energy gun (indeed, it's worse than the buzzer AND will be your only gun forever; it's permanently attached to you) and a temporary +1 biological res and -2 energy res (renewable, just ask the hierarch). For now, isn't a good choice.


A Woman in The Tower questline

It's possible release her through conversation, but before, start and finish the quest Lessen the Pain, on last floor of the Tower. The Hierach will be pleased and agree to release the woman.

[The Lone Wanderer]

Oh cool, thanks. Interesting about the res changes, hadn't noticed it.


The woman one.
I actually just figured this out through my lunchtime play through lol

After releasing the woman if you have 4 Empathy you can make the quest-giver remember all things and become normal again but there's no additional reward for doing that. Not even more XP.

Did you actually do this yourself, or are you working off what someone else said?

I can't find any option in any path of the conversation, including the empathy path, that leads to the questgiver "remembering everything and becoming normal".

Every option leads to him either
1) Refusing to believe that the woman is his friend (and then either allowing her to stay or sending her away) at which point he goes right back to asking people to head into the tower to look for his friend.
2) The one option that seems to convince him that she is indeed his friend, results in him deciding that she must be "in pain" and thus must be put out of her misery. He shoots her, then seems to forget the whole thing and, again, goes right back to asking people to head into the tower to look for his friend.

Some outcomes complete the quest, some options fail it. But it seems that no matter what you pick, there's no happy ending to be found here whatsoever. You either let the situation continue as-is, free the cyborgs (which leaves the humans in a state of indefinite confusion and denial, and the "freed" cyborgs don't seem much better-off), or euthanize everyone (which seems like the best of a bunch of bad choices)...

Since this is basically the end of the game's current content, I think I'm going to just leave off at the top floor of the tower in case the quest changes.

[КЛЕШНЯ РАЗДОРА]

Almost finished Tower and desided to search info on it. Quite interesting quest, but it feels like.... it have no consequences on a world. I wonder if that changes in the future patches.
Would be great if Dev gave some info about Tower - is this finished content, or may have some later continuations?

Apologies for the necro, but you get the happy ending if you aren't a cyborg and then respond:


"You're repeating yourself"
"Calm down" (Empathy 4)
"Yes, look"
"You were brainwashed by the Titan" (Game auto-chose "please trust me" instead when I was a cyborg)
"Stay Strong"

...and a puke-covered emotional reunion is yours!

Speaking to him/her first made no difference
