The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Guide > Treacherous Tower

At the top of Death Mountain in Lorule, there is a special monster-filled tower you can pay to access. Initially, only the Beginner level is available, with the Intermediate and Advanced stages unlocking after completing the previous level. Inside, you must fight monsters on the specified number of floors. Survive and you will receive a good amount of rupees, as well as prizes. Here is a quick breakdown:

Treacherous Tower Rewards
Level Price Floors Reward
Beginner 100 5 Rupees
Intermediate 200 15 Rupees, Heart Piece (first time)
Advanced 300 50 Rupees, Super Lamp (first time), Super Net (second time)

Naturally, the type and difficulty of the monsters increases with each level. Higher floors may have other hazards such as darkness, icy floors, narrow platforms with pits, etc. It is highly recommended that you have the following before attempting: Master Sword Lv3, Hylian Shield, Blue/Red Mail, at least two Blue Potions, and all items/tools you can purchase in your inventory.
