The Tower of Zot – New Endwalker Dungeon
As some people presumed, one of the new dungeons will feature inside one of the mysterious towers that have emerged all around Eorzea thanks to Fandaniel.
This particular tower exists in Thavnair (seen above) and is called the Tower of Zot, an homage to Final Fantasy IV which Endwalker is known to borrow from.
The Tower of Zot, as Urianger puts it, is a foul place. It’s wretched and twisted looking, and powerful magical entities will attempt to block you from reaching the top.
Without proper story context, it’s a bit difficult to pin down exactly what is going on in the Tower of Zot aside from presuming that the Scions are trying to learn about how to either destroy these towers, or at very least, learn more about their nature. However, Krile does remark that she wants to free “poor Nidhana” likely a new character that we’ll eventually meet in the story of Endwalker. To the bosses that you’ll come across, this place is sacred somehow, commenting on how we’re “desecrating this place.”
A fun easter egg for Final Fantasy IV players is that as you climb the tower you’ll come across each one of the Magus Sisters, and then, by the time that you reach the top, you’ll need to face off against all three in a chaotic final boss fight.
In the fight, you’ll need to fight against all three of them at once, each using abilities that you’re familiar with at that point. You’ll just need to find a way to dodge all of the attacks going off at once and whittle them down one by one.
It’s a classic Final Fantasy-style fight that at first, seems incredibly difficult, but as you defeat the sisters will slowly become easier and less chaotic.
