Located just east of the Ardougne Monastery, the imposing Tower of Life stands as a testament to ambitious research. When you arrive, you'll discover that the construction workers have gone on strike, leaving the project's masterminds desperately seeking help to complete their mysterious work.

This quest features unique challenges that will test your problem-solving skills, moral compass, and willingness to delve into the unknown.
