Phantom Tower Overview

StepDo thisWhy it matters
What it isThe Phantom Tower is the 1.0 endgame challenge added with the Phantom Update on May 25, 2026. It is a multi-floor gauntlet with unique enemies, traps, and bosses. Each floor has a distinct theme — from crumbling crypts to frozen ledges and spectral arenas.Steam news labels the full launch as the '1.0 Phantom Update.' The difficulty ramps significantly past floor 5.
PreparationMax your Redfin's core stats before attempting. Bring a build you are comfortable with — the Tower punishes experimentation. Practice platforming with combat pressure in earlier areas first.The Tower combines climbing precision with combat. Neither skill alone is enough past the first three floors.
Floor-by-floor approachEach floor has a checkpoint at its entrance. Use deaths to study enemy patrol routes, trap timings, and safe ledges. Push for speed only after you have mapped the layout.The Tower rewards patience. Rushing past an enemy or trap you haven't mapped leads to repeated falls on the same section.
Co-op approachOnline co-op changes the Tower dynamic. One player scouts ahead while the other covers from behind. Communicate before every jump — desync in tight sections pulls both players down.Steam lists Online Co-op. Two players can cover each other's blind spots, but uncoordinated jumps double the risk.

Floor-by-Floor Guide

1 — The Crumbling Gate

Enemies

Skeletal Sentries (slow melee, telegraphed swings)

Traps

Collapsing platforms, spike pits

Strategy

Use the wide ledges to learn enemy timing. Skeletons die in 2-3 hits. Do not rush the collapsing platforms — wait for the respawn cycle.

2 — Whispering Corridor

Enemies

Wraith Archers (ranged, fire from fixed positions), Phantom Rats (fast, low HP)

Traps

Arrow slits, pressure plate darts

Strategy

Clear archers first from cover. Rats bait you into darts — kill them after you map the pressure plates. Survivor build recommended here.

3 — Frozen Ascent

Enemies

Ice Wraiths (slow AoE frost breath), Crystal Crawlers (cling to walls, leap attack)

Traps

Slippery ice ledges, falling icicles

Strategy

Ice Wraiths freeze you if you stand still. Keep moving. Crawlers are easy to dodge on open ledges. Climber build excels here.

4 — The Armory

Enemies

Phantom Knights (shielded, block front attacks), Animated Armor (charge attack)

Traps

Swinging pendulums, floor spikes

Strategy

Flank Knights by jumping over them. Armor charges in a straight line — sidestep and punish. Brawler build clears this floor fastest.

5 — Boss: Grimwarden Kael (rematch)

Enemies

Kael with faster ground pound recovery, adds spawn at 50% HP

Traps

Arena edges crumble after each shockwave

Strategy

Same as the first fight but faster. Kill adds immediately. Balanced build handles both the boss and adds best.

6 — The Looming Depths

Enemies

Shadow Stalkers (invisible until attack, high damage), Leaping Horrors (gap closers)

Traps

Darkness sections (limited vision), false platforms

Strategy

Stalkers appear when you approach hidden runes — trigger them from a safe ledge. Tap-test false platforms with a quick jump. Survivor build for safety.

7 — Flame Crucible

Enemies

Lava Elementals (projectile spam in phase 2), Ember Sprites (explode on death)

Traps

Rising lava, fire jets on timers

Strategy

Control the high ground. Elementals are stationary — use them as platforms. Sprites explode — kill them at range. Climber build to control positioning.

8 — Boss: Soulrend Queen Vex

Enemies

Vex (3 phases), Crystal Adds (spawn in P2)

Traps

Arena shrinks in P3, outer platforms collapse

Strategy

P1: dodge orbs behind pillars. P2: dodge scythe combo, kill adds. P3: stay on inner platforms, do not chase damage. Survivor build recommended.

9 — The Unstable Spire

Enemies

Phase Shifters (teleport behind you), Gravity Mages (reverse your jump direction)

Traps

Rotating platforms, wind gusts that push you off

Strategy

Phase Shifters punish turning around — keep forward pressure. Gravity Mages require quick counter-jumps. Balanced build with high mobility.

10 — Boss: The Tower Warden

Enemies

The Warden (4 phases), Spectral Adds (phase 3 onward)

Traps

Arena layout shifts each phase, floor breaks in phase 4

Strategy

Phase 1: projectiles, dodge behind cover. Phase 2: melee combos, bait and punish. Phase 3: adds spawn, kill them fast. Phase 4: all attacks faster, focus on survival. Survivor or Balanced build.

Enemy Types & Counters

EnemyBehaviorCounter
Skeletal SentryPatrols a fixed path, swings a slow weapon when you approachWait for the swing, then jump past and attack from behind. 2-3 hits to kill.
Wraith ArcherFires arrows from a fixed position, will not chaseUse cover to approach. Rush the Archer's platform — it cannot fight in melee.
Phantom RatFast, low HP, charges at you in groupsKill them individually from ledges before jumping down. Do not fight a group on a narrow platform.
Ice WraithSlow AoE frost breath that freezes you in placeKeep moving horizontally. Attack during the breath cooldown window.
Phantom KnightShielded front, blocks frontal attacks, slow turn speedJump over the Knight or use a ledge to attack from above.
Shadow StalkerInvisible until it attacks, high single-hit damageTrigger it from a safe ledge by approaching the rune. Dodge the lunge, then punish the recovery.
Lava ElementalStationary, fires projectiles in arcsUse Elemental platforms as climbing steps. Kill Sprites at range before they reach you.
Phase ShifterTeleports behind you when you pass a thresholdKeep forward momentum. Attack immediately after the teleport sound plays.
Gravity MageCasts a field that reverses jump direction for 5 secondsWait out the debuff on a safe platform. Do not jump while reversed.

How to Prepare

Max your Redfin

Core stats matter more in the Tower than anywhere else. If you have been spreading points thin, respec before entering. Climbing speed and survivability are the priority.

Practice combat + platforming

The Tower combines both. If you have been avoiding fights during climbs, spend time in earlier areas mixing the two. You cannot skip combat in the Tower.

Learn from deaths

Each floor resets at its entrance. Use this. Study the layout, enemy positions, and trap triggers. Do not rush — the Tower rewards patience.

Bring a familiar build

Not the time to experiment. Use the Redfin build you have been running all game. The Tower punishes unfamiliar movement patterns.

Co-op in the Tower

Online co-op changes how the Tower plays. Two players means two hitboxes on tight platforms, two sets of jump timing, and two people who can panic and drag each other down. But it also means someone can scout ahead while the other covers from behind. Co-op is strongly recommended for floors 6 through 10.

01

Scout + Cover: one player moves ahead, the other watches for enemies and calls out traps.

02

Call your jumps. A surprise leap in co-op can knock your partner off a ledge.

03

If one player falls, the other stays put. Do not chase — wait for them to climb back.

04

Assign roles before entering: who leads, who follows, who handles combat.

05

On boss floors, assign one player to handle adds while the other focuses the boss.
