Where Are You in the Final Route?

Pick the closest match, and this page sends you to the right guide instead of making you read all of them.

Which one is you?

Black Tower Route at a Glance

The late route is short, but it is not the same shape as the coloured towers.

  1. Reach Black Tower

  2. Complete the Black Tower reward step

  3. Ending Key (already finished)

  4. Final route / Ending plinth

  5. Black Sphere / Ending path

The Ending Key opens the final route. The Black Sphere and the Ending Gate each have their own check, so this page does not print a single forced order after the key.

How Do I Reach the Black Tower?

Black Tower sits at the end of the major progression, so reaching it is a late-game state rather than a map pin you have not found yet.

Before Black Tower

  • Opening route started
  • Major coloured routes
  • Late-game access

If Black Tower still will not open, the missing late-game requirement is the answer — not another local puzzle.

Complete the Black Tower Reward Step

The Black Tower hands over the Ending Key through its own reward step. Count the rewards you have banked at the tower, not just the challenge pages you marked complete.

Your Black Tower setup

Check your tower’s reward receptacles.

Return each reward the tower accepts, then confirm the Ending Key is released.

The reward step follows your world setting, so this page lists your challenges instead of printing a fixed number.

A solved challenge and a banked reward are two separate things. This counter only moves when a reward is returned to the tower.

Ending Key

The Black Tower reward is the Ending Key, and it arrives in its finished state.

  • Released
  • Already finished
  • 0 cutters needed

Do not look for five Ending Key cutters. They do not exist.

The five-cutter routine belongs to the coloured towers. This key skips it, so nothing from those routes carries over.

Where Does the Ending Key Go?

The finished Ending Key goes to the Ending plinth. Placing it is what opens the Ending Gate and the final stretch.

Continue to the Ending Route

Black Sphere (Final Gauntlet)

Seven sequential rooms with their own progression, so the room-by-room detail lives on its own page. Community guides call this stretch the Black Sphere.

Locked0 / 7 rooms

The six Black Tower challenges and the seven gauntlet rooms are not the same set.

Entry is not satisfied yet. The late-game step named above is what opens the rooms.

All 6 Black Tower Challenges

The full late-area list, with completion and reward tracking.

Mark the reward when the tower accepts it. A checked challenge is not a banked reward.

Black Tower Area Completion

The six local challenges are the tower’s own completion content, tracked separately from the late route.

Finishing every local challenge is not the same as satisfying the late-game gate. The route rows above, not the challenge counter, show what still blocks the final route.

What Comes After Black Tower?

The Black Tower reward gives you the Ending Key, and that key is already finished. From here the route branches.

Black Tower Questions

How do I reach Black Tower?
The major coloured progression comes first, and Black Tower opens once the late-game route is available. If it still will not open, the progression tool names the requirement that is still standing. What Next tool
What do I do at Black Tower?
Finish the reward step, take the already-finished Ending Key, and continue to the Ending plinth and the final route.
How many Black Tower challenges are there?
Six tracked local challenges. They are the tower’s own reward content, so treat them as six separate tasks rather than one progress bar.
Is the Ending Key another five-cutter Big Key?
No. It arrives already finished, so it has no cutters. The five-cutter routine belongs to the coloured towers. Big Key Guide
Do I need the Black Tower challenges to get the Ending Key?
The Black Tower has its own reward step. In the 3-player and 4+ routes that step is built around six reward receptacles. Track the rewards you have returned, not just the challenge pages you marked complete — your world setting decides the details. Reward step
Why can't I enter the Final Gauntlet?
The gauntlet has its own entry requirement, and it is not a challenge counter. The late-game step named at the top of this page is the answer. Black Sphere guide
What happens after Black Tower?
The reward gives you the Ending Key, which is already finished. From there the route continues to the Ending plinth and the Ending Gate, and the Black Sphere runs its own seven rooms. Ending Guide
