Before you start playing
Warn
In short
A stable connection and a comfortable setup will save you a lot of frustration before you ever touch a rock face.
The game recommends a PC and a good internet connection. Rapid or unexpected movement can happen, so stop playing immediately if you start to feel sick. Mobile is supported, but the experience is smoother on a desktop with a reliable connection.
Worth watching out for
Sudden movement and glitches can trigger motion sickness
A weak internet connection will make the game uncomfortable to play
02

Checkpoints and teleporting
Tips
In short
Using the checkpoint system lets you move between sections without repeating everything in between.
During a climbing session, any checkpoint you have already visited becomes a teleport destination. You can jump between those checkpoints freely without having to repeat every section in between.
Tips worth knowing
- Teleporting only works while you are in an active climbing session
- You can only teleport to checkpoints you have already reached in that session
- Press R to snap back to your most recent checkpoint after a fall
05
Routes and what reaching the top unlocks
Table
In short
Every route has its own badge at the summit, and some hide extra secrets along the way.
There are several distinct locations to climb, each with a badge awarded for reaching the very top. Arcane also contains a hidden cave that rewards exploration.
| Mesa | reach the summit for the Mesa Conquered badge |
| Eiffel Tower | climb the full structure for the Eiffel Tower Ascended badge |
| Frost | ascend the anomaly hidden deep in Antarctica for the Frost Ascended badge |
| Arcane | summit the island for Arcane Ascended, and find the tight hidden cave for the Cave Diving Experience badge |
06

Common questions
FAQCan I play on mobile?
Mobile is supported, though the game recommends a PC and a strong internet connection. If you do play on mobile, open the settings and use the lock button to rearrange your on-screen controls.
What do I do when I fall or get stuck?
Press R to return to your last checkpoint and try the section again. You can also teleport between checkpoints you have already visited during the current climbing session.
The screen moved suddenly and I felt sick — is that normal?
The game warns players that glitches and rapid movement can occur. Stop playing and rest until you feel better. If it happens repeatedly, report it through the in-game feedback tool.
How long does it take to get all the Tower badges?
The milestones run from your very first escape all the way to 500 escapes, so completing the full set is a significant long-term goal.
