Yellow Tower Route at a Glance

One source, five ordered cutters and one destination. The Yellow route ends at the tunnel network, and that network is what Yellow exists to open.

The finished key switches on a whole network of gates, not a single doorway, and the network itself is covered by its own guide.

Where Is the Yellow Tower?

Look for the large yellow zigzag-shaped tower in the northern part of the island. That tower is the Yellow Tower.

The map below draws the Yellow route: the Yellow Tower source, its five key cutters and the tunnel destination, with the Yellow Area challenges underneath.

Return Five Rewards to the Yellow Tower

The Yellow Tower has five reward slots. Bring five challenge rewards back to the tower and it releases the Yellow Key.

Yellow Zigzag Lookout
What it needs
5 challenge rewards

Rewards returned

0 / 5 returned

Need 5 more rewards.

The tower counts rewards returned, not challenge names, so any five valid rewards you carry back will do.

The four challenges classified under this area are not the same thing as the five rewards the tower asks for, and a reward from elsewhere counts just as much.

Need Another Reward?

These are challenges you have not cleared yet, both inside this area and beyond it. Clear one, carry its reward back, and another slot fills.

Take the Yellow Key Through All Five Cutters

The released key still has to pass through five cutters, in order. Bring the current Yellow Key to each one.

    The tunnel destination

The cutters are ordered. A key that skipped one is not in its finished state, which is the usual reason the tunnel lock refuses it.

Take the Finished Yellow Key to the Tunnel Entrance

The Yellow route ends at the tunnel destination. Place the finished Yellow Key there and the island tunnel network comes online.

  2. Finished Yellow Key

What does the Yellow Tower unlock?

  • • The Yellow Tower route opens the underground tunnel network.
  • • The finished key activates the tunnel destination, and that is what brings the tunnel gates around the island online.
Tunnel network:
Locked

The Yellow route does not open the Train, the Chairlift or the Map Room.

Troubleshoot the Tunnels

Related achievement: Big Tunnel

Opening the tunnel network makes the Big Tunnel achievement possible, but the medal comes from walking inside a tunnel, not from the unlock.

Why Are the Tunnels Still Locked?

Start at the top and stop at the first line that describes your save. That line is what is still open.

The Yellow Tower still wants its rewards. Bring five valid rewards back before looking at cutters. 보상 다섯 개 반환하기

Explore the Yellow Area

Useful for exploration and completion. These sit apart from the Yellow Tower route tracker above, and there are fewer of them than the tower asks for in rewards.

5 challenges in the Yellow Area

Solving a challenge and carrying its reward back are two separate marks, so every entry has two boxes. The tower slots above only fill from the second one.

What Comes After the Yellow Tower?

Once the tunnel network is open, the Yellow Tower route is complete.

The tunnels are a way to get around, not an objective on their own. The other major routes run side by side, so pick the system you want next or let the progression assistant choose.

No coloured tower has to come before another one, so nothing needs the Yellow route finished first.
