Moving Through the Lower Areas

Once you enter the building, walk straight to the first Lever and hit it. Sometimes the mechanism can be finicky, but usually, it works on the first try in Crimson Desert.

After you activate that first Lever, you are ready to move up. Look for the large Cogs in the center of the room and climb them to reach the next level. You will find another Lever right there that you need to pull.

Reaching the Top

Continue climbing until you get to the highest part of the structure. You will see a way to get outside from there.

Find the Elevator and activate it to reach the very top of the tower. Once the Elevator brings you to the summit, you just have to press the Buttons to finish.
