The Shadow of the Past quest is divided into three sub-quests, each focusing on a tower:

• Shadow of the Towers: Resounding Rise: Northeast tower.
• Shadow of the Towers: Twilight Rise: South tower.

2. Tracking and defeating an Abyssal Mercator.
3. Collecting supply chests in the northern, western, and eastern rooms.
4. Navigating through additional paintings, facing more Abyssal Mercators, and defeating enemies.
