These towers will have an orange aura on top of them for easy recognition. Once activated, the tower will rise and a beacon will shine, signaling where a tower has been activated. There are seven timed levels of this event, and completing one will progress you to the next. | ||
The first level has four stages and features mostly thrall enemies. The first stage requires you to simply eliminate enemies until a message is displayed. The next stage requires you to close a shadowrift that was opened somewhere in the nearby vicinity. Shadowrifts will continue to spawn hive [[Acolytes]], three at a time. Not closing one results in not progressing and a surplus of enemies. To close one, you must stand in it until the timer reaches 100, and then shoot the three crystals nearby it. Once a shadow rift has been closed, a [[Major]] [[Severing Knight]] will spawn from it. Killing it drops its sword. The third stage requires you to kill more enemies. The forth stage is the boss stage. For level 1, the boss is a [[Shambling Torrent]]. This process repeats itself from level 1 through 6. | The first level has four stages and features mostly thrall enemies.

Attempting to solo this is not recommended even at level one. The large number of enemies plowing toward you can wipe you out in seconds, wasting time and most likely causing you to fail the level. Failing to complete a level will end the event. If you restart immediately after failing, you can pick up one level short of where you left off. | Attempting to solo this is not recommended even at level one.
